Does trump really care about drugs Or is he really looking for praise like rubbing soothing lotion on the face of his dry weathered skin giving him some kind of smile and feelings of self importance.
Has he issued pardons to drug dealers?

Yes, Donald Trump has pardoned several individuals convicted of drug-related offenses during both his first and second terms. These range from high-profile figures involved in large-scale trafficking to individuals in non-violent cases.
Here are the most notable examples:
High-Profile Drug Pardons
•
Juan Orlando Hernández (2025): In December 2025, President Trump pardoned the former President of Honduras, who had been convicted of helping smuggle over 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S. Trump argued the prosecution was a "setup" by the previous administration.
• Ross Ulbricht (2025): Early in his second term, Trump pardoned the founder of the "Silk Road" dark web marketplace. Ulbricht had been serving a life sentence for various charges, including distributing narcotics over the internet.
• Larry Hoover (2025): In his second term, Trump granted clemency to the founder of the Chicago-based Gangster Disciples, who was serving multiple life sentences for crimes including drug trafficking.
First-Term Pardons & Commutations
• Alice Marie Johnson (2018/2020): Perhaps his most famous clemency case, Johnson was serving life for a first-time, non-violent drug offense. Trump commuted her sentence in 2018 after a meeting with Kim Kardashian and later granted her a full pardon in 2020.
• Jonathan Braun (2021): On his final day in office in 2021, Trump commuted the sentence of Braun, who was serving 10 years for leading a massive marijuana smuggling ring.
• Weldon Angelos (2020): Trump pardoned Angelos, whose 55-year sentence for selling marijuana while carrying a firearm had become a symbol of excessive mandatory minimum sentencing.
