Cocaine dealers slap Trump's face on drug packages

President Donald Trump likes to put his face on everything, but plonking it onto illicit drug packaging may not have been his first preference.

“A federal complaint unsealed in Massachusetts this week offers a vivid look at how President Donald Trump’s war on drugs has affected the people actually moving the product,” reports Daily Beast. “According to a DEA affidavit in the case, investigators seized about two kilograms of cocaine mailed from Puerto Rico to Worcester County earlier in February, each wrapped in a picture of the president and stamped with the letters ‘FAFO.’”

Agents listening in on a wiretap over the course of 18 months claim to have connected more than 10 kilograms of cocaine, in addition to fentanyl and methamphetamine, to a 12-person ring led by an accused drug trafficker.

“Inside the package, investigators found one brick-shaped object wrapped further in clear plastic, tape, dryer sheets, carbon paper, and black latex, with an exterior marking of a picture of President Donald J. Trump and the letters ‘FAFO,’ concealed inside a blue ‘Sequence’ game box inside the USPS package,” reports agents. “Under the wrapping, investigators found a solid white powdery substance stamped ‘FAFO,’ weighing 1092.5 gross grams. The substance field tested positive for the presence of cocaine. Investigators submitted the substance to the DEA laboratory for testing and that testing is pending.”

There is no telling if Trump’s image and his emblematic MAGA deer call of “f—— around and find out” has anything to do with the president’s strikes on alleged drug-trafficking boats in the Caribbean — the destruction of which have not been approved inside a courtroom or by judicial order before drawing deadly international fire.

Experts say the Trump administration has defied international law by deliberately killing boat occupants. And at least one of the destroyed boats was not even bound for U.S. shores.

Daily Beast points out that the accused drug trafficker and his accomplices tied to the presidential-looking drug packaging “are alleged to have made all of their shipments by USPS Priority Mail, which is not known to use boats to transport parcels from Puerto Rico to the mainland.”
