March 15, 2018: Trump Calls for Death Penalty for Drug Dealers

 

3/15/18: Donald J. Trump hits a tough patch. True, the employment picture is good, especially for high-priced lawyers. (You could argue Trump is keeping the legal profession on full employment all by himself.) 

Now we learn that Trump wants Congress to pass laws to allow for the execution of bigtime drug dealers. 




I think we all know who he’s talking about. Probably John Kapoor, a well-known drug “king pin.” Kapoor once made the Forbes 400 list as one of the richest men in America. Founder and CEO of Insys, his pharmaceutical company has been one of the leading pushers of opioids for years. Last October, Kapoor was arrested on charges of racketeering, conspiracy, and fraud. 

And what about Dr. Michael Kostenko? 

He wrote more than 40,000 prescriptions for opioids in just two years. In one week, the West Virginia doctor managed to write 325 prescriptions, totaling an astonishing 19,000 pills.
