NEWSMAX -- Political strategist Dick Morris told Newsmax that President Donald Trump’s strike order against Venezuelan drug haulers in a small boat is "increasing his favorability."
Morris told The Count on Saturday that Trump’s continued emphasis on fighting crime here in the US, and a new approach on the high seas against drug smugglers, are "increasing his favorability and his popularity significantly."
He said the destruction of the smuggler’s small craft in the Southern Caribbean, its cargo of drugs, and the deaths of 11 smugglers on board sends a message. "But more than that," he said. "This is more than just going after drug cartels."
Morris pointed to Trump declaring the president of Venezuela to be a wanted man for involvement with drug cartels.
