RE: The U.S. Government’s Ridiculous War on Kratom
That's a good question! You know, maybe the people at the pharmaceutical companies have decided to take a quieter approach after trump suggested that drug dealers should be executed.
I'm of half the mind, that Trump may have only suggested that in order to gauge reactions, and or stir the pot a bit. I could see where it might really confuse the hell out of big pharma's lobbyists. They might want to know: "When he says drug dealers, is he talking about us (big pharma), or illegal street drug dealers?"
I left a similar comment over at @tftproject's recent post. It's really hard to gauge Trump at times, how serious he is being. People like Jones for example think that he recently played the left by encouraging them to put their gun control wishes into legislation.
He thinks that Trump was trying to get them to show their hand, which would result in the right getting mobilized enough to defeat it. If he's that wiley, it's going to be one hell of a rollercoaster ride, and he'll need to be watched like a hawk, because if he is that clever, there's no telling whose side he's really on.. on any given issue.
He's a businessman and a good one. If you use N. Korea as a model, remember what he said last year: "I have nukes and my finger is on the button." Now look where they are- ready to come to the table for peace talks. He's a lot smarter than people give him credit for. I can tell you from experience the advantage of acting like a clown sometimes... people underestimate you at just the wrong time!
I tell you @richq11 it's something else to witness. I don't think I've seen someone exercise that level of game before in my life! In the movies maybe.
He is amazing!
