During a wild 77-minute press conference in which President Donald Trump lambasted the media, he also discussed illegal drugs in the United States.
“We’re becoming a drug-infested nation,” he said. “Drugs are becoming cheaper than candy bars.”
Candy bars are pretty dang cheap, so naturally Twitter was the first to ask: Where the hell are these inexpensive drugs?
hello yes where do i get cheaper than candy bar drugs please https://t.co/Skj8i5MqPA

// WHERE?
I'm fine with Trump claiming drugs are cheaper than candy bars so long as he forms a task force to tell me where they are.

"Drugs are cheaper than candy." Sure, rub it in our faces that you can afford to buy a $51 candy bar.

Trump says drugs are now cheaper than candy bars. Who is your dealer and can we have his number?
