Former President Donald Trump said soft sentences for drug dealers have helped fuel fentanyl overdose deaths in the U.S.
Trump, 77, is running against President Joe Biden in the presidential election this November.
“So many are dying where they think they’re getting something and going to have a little fun on a Friday night and all of sudden their dead,” Trump said on Fox News.
“You’ll never really solve the drug problem unless you do what other countries do – and that’s the death penalty for drug dealers,” Trump said during the interview. “A drug dealer on average will kill, during that person’s life, 500 people. Unless you have a death penalty. Right now, they don’t even get charged with anything.”
