What would the cartels do?

4. He won't do anything of consequence

People like to think of the cartels as beng like what they see in movies, but it's really just large very profitable corporations who are brutal and murderous because they have the power to do so. The cartels absolutely have political influence in America. They buy candidates, and they donate to Super PACs. So at most, I could see Trump targeting one cartel at the bidding of another.

Follow the money, always. If the flow of illicit drugs was ever severely curtailed, Republican powerhouse industries like the for profit prison indutry would suffer, no way Trump lets that happen, those are his most loyal supporters. Republicans will never end the war n drugs because they get rich off from it. And they view ODs as a positive as they think addiction is a moral issue.
