Trump has reportedly signed a directive for the Pentagon to start using military force against certain drug cartels that have been designated foreign terrorist organizations.
Donald Trump secretly directed the Pentagon to use military force against drug cartels - just like the movie, "Clear and Present Danger." Ali Velshi adds, "the plan to send American soldiers after the cartels was a bad idea in the movie and it's a bad idea in the real world." youtu.be/63ND593iA7w

Time to get rid of the over-abused Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF). The people of the US, through Congress, should decide when to wage war on an enemy to take their lives. That's how a democracy is supposed to work and what the framers of the US Constitution originally wanted. Trumpf will abuse this power for three and a half more years, making more enemies for the US.

What a novel way to get the attention of the Nobel Peace Prize committee. And the Mexican cartels have been effectively using lethal FPV drones: drudge.com
I guess Trumpf's absorption of Canada and Greenland into the US are off the table for now.
Remember this:

The US military will be used to snuff out the competition of the cartels that bend the knee.
Like every action Trump has ever taken, policy is dictated by what Trump has to gain or lose.
There is no bottom. Nothing is too low or off limits. He'll do anything that benefits him personally; Including but not limited to partnering with cartels.
