(The National Pulse)—In an Oval Office discussion on Monday night, former President Donald J. Trump entertained the notion of potential U.S. military operations in Mexico. Reporter Peter Doocy asked the 45th and now 47th President, “If the [Mexican drug] cartels are now going to be seen as foreign terror organizations, would you think about ordering U.S. Special Forces into Mexico to take them out?” President Trump replied, “Could happen. Stranger things have happened.”
Shortly thereafter, Trump did sign an executive order “designating the cartels and other organizations to be foreign terrorist organizations,” explaining, “People have wanted to do this for years. So they are now designated as terrorist organizations, foreign, and Mexico probably doesn’t want that, but we have to do what’s right.”
He added: “They’re killing our people. They’re killing 250, 300,000 American people a year, not 100, like has been reported for 15 years. It’s probably 300,000.”
