Trump Calls President a 'Drug Dealer' in Typo-Filled Post

President Donald Trump accused the Colombian president of being an “illegal” drug dealer and announced he was slashing U.S. funding to the country in a social media tirade that misspelled Colombia’s name multiple times.

On Sunday morning, Trump raged on Truth Social that President Gustavo Petro, of “Columbia,” is an “illegal drug leader” encouraging drug production across “Columbia.”

Within an hour, Trump appeared to realize the spelling errors and deleted the post. He followed up with a nearly identical, more grammatically polished rant, attacking the “low-rated, unpopular leader” Petro for allowing drugs to become “the biggest business in Colombia.”

“Petro does nothing to stop it, despite large scale payments and subsidies from the USA that are nothing more than a long term rip off of America. AS OF TODAY, THESE PAYMENTS, OR ANY OTHER FORM OF PAYMENT, OR SUBSIDIES, WILL NO LONGER BE MADE TO COLOMBIA,” the president wrote.

“The purpose of this drug production is the sale of massive amounts of product into the United States, causing death, destruction, and havoc.”

Trump then threatened direct U.S. intervention if Petro fails to shut down the so-called “killing fields.”
