The political news website Axios is reporting President Trump has privately told friends and staffers he wants to execute drug dealers. One senior administration official told Axios, “He often jokes about killing drug dealers… He’ll say, 'You know the Chinese and Filipinos don't have a drug problem. They just kill them.’” Earlier this month, the International Criminal Court opened a preliminary investigation into accusations that Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte had committed crimes against humanity by overseeing the killing of up 8,000 people in his so-called war on drugs.
