On Monday, President Donald Trump rolled out his plan to combat the opioid crisis in America. Trump told the crowd at an event in New Hampshire: “… if we don't get tough on the drug dealers, we're wasting our time -- just remember that, we're wasting our time -- and that toughness includes the death penalty." Do you think Trump’s proposed zero tolerance policy for drug dealers will help end the opioid crisis or does the president’s policy stance harken back to the days of the failed war on drugs? Sound off in the comments.
