#22. The Time He Opposed the War on Drugs
In late 1989, President George H. W. Bush continued the War on Drugs, recommending that Congress allocate $9.4 billion toward eradicating the illegal drug problem in the U.S. While this plan was nearly unanimously backed by Republicans, Trump told the Miami Herald in 1990, "We're losing badly the war on drugs. You have to legalize drugs to win that war. You have to take the profit away from these drug czars."
