WASHINGTON — Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., said on “Meet the Press” that President Donald Trump’s decisions to strike alleged drug boats in the Caribbean were “murder.”
Asked whether he believed that the strikes were consistent with international law, Gallego said, “No, it’s murder.”
“It’s very simple,” Gallego continued. “If this president feels that they’re doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If there’s an act of war, then you use our military, and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder.”
Gallego’s comments come as the U.S. has said it conducted 10 strikes on alleged drug boats since September, killing dozens of people. Two of the strikes were in the eastern Pacific, and eight strikes were in the Caribbean Sea. NBC News has not independently confirmed whether the boats were carrying drugs.

This is all creating more distractions to look like a tin-pot dictator and try to raise the approval poll numbers by being a "war President".
is sadly very true and we have at least a 3rd of the U.S. population who are not only conscientiously stupid, but willfully stupid.
