To be clear, this is Trump not only admitting to using military force without Congress’ constitutionally required authorization, but to committing extrajudicial killings — or in other words, murder.
Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."
