I think you're overreacting, until he provides more details than the broad descriptions he laid out. Your concerns are valid, but so is the justification, and all he really said was introducing the death penalty. He didn't list specific drugs that would incur the penalty, or the definition of dealing, or any details at all. He's generally been a libertarian, and respected the law, so assuming he wants to be a homicidal tyrant is a big leap based just on this.
Death penalty for voluntary transactions is dangerous beyond all reason. Give government this one power and they have the power of life and death over everyone.
So you trust Trump, great. What about the next, and the next... This is INSANE. How can so many people who see the evil behind government want this power for government?

I agree.
u/cryofreeze is biting off more than he can chew with his "Trump is untrustworthy" statement
