This strikes me as Heritage types pushing thru goals w/o fully explaining them to Trump yet. Plus, he wants to be Duterte.

I am unsure. He reflexively admires strongmen, true. But my point isn't that he's a libertarian. It's that no fucks are given.

He is an idiot about a lot of things, but not about how to build symbols to mobilize masses. Drug war is necessary for that.
