Trumps plan was mostly tough talk: proposing the death penalty for pushers of illegal opioids, criticizing sanctuary cities, and blaming Democrats. He added it was time to build the wall to keep the damn drugs out.

She said the National Enquirer paid her $150,000 for an exclusive story about the affair, but because its chief executive officer is a Trump ally, the story was never published.

March 22 Trump named John Bolton to replace H. R. McMaster as national security advisor. Bolton is known for his abrasive diplomatic style and hardline military positions. Bolton was a proponent of the 2003 invasion of Iraq and used faulty intelligence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction to support his argument for invasion. He is on record for proposing military solutions to the North Korean nuclear standoff as well as a preemptive strike against Iran.

The strikes signaled a potentially significant expansion of the U.S. counterterrorism campaign in North Africa. Until this most recent action, U.S. military activity in Libya had been limited to strikes against Islamic State forces and encampments in the coastal city of Surt.
