DRUGS/MEDIA/TARIFFS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP FAMILY/MELANIA: “President Donald Trump attacked his critics, promoted his steel and aluminum tariffs and tossed out an idea to have drug dealers face the death penalty, addressing a raucous rally on Saturday for a Republican congressional candidate in a tight race. … Continuing his battle against the mainstream news media, Trump insulted NBC News’ ‘Meet the Press’ host Chuck Todd and Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters. Under pressure over a scandal involving a porn star named Stormy Daniels, Trump singled out his wife, Melania, for praise. … Trump said the country should discuss having drug dealers face the death penalty because they are responsible for thousands of deaths.”
