This is all distraction from the Epstein files. To say he is trying to stop illegal drugs from coming into this country after he pardons a major drug dealer is attempting to give him and his gang of incompetent and stupid cretins legitimacy. They are murderers for headlines.

I think it is somehow connected to the pardon of the Honduran President and a pay-off to Trump? Just my opinion, but I think it was part of a deal that Trump has made to make himself more wealthy, and he is using the US Military to assist in the "deal". Just my opinion.
