President Trump said also that the White House is “very strongly” considering signing an executive order to reschedule marijuana to a lower drug classification, which would ease federal restrictions.

It also directs Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to “pursue appropriate actions against relevant assets and financial institutions in accordance with applicable law for those involved in or supporting the manufacture, distribution, and sale of illicit fentanyl and its core precursor chemicals.”

Sounds like preparations for round three of the Trade War™ in Q1/Q2 2026. Probably thinks he can use it as leverage in the leadup to the meeting in April, or if the meeting doesn't score 13 out of 10.

The scoreboard's already at 0-2 in favour of China. Can't wait for the next episode of this truly groundbreaking series.

Reminds me of the joke about the inept hunter who went into the mountains to shoot a bear but failed and was brutally violated twice. When he went back a third time for revenge the bear straight up asked “are you here to hunt or prostitute your self”?

He's been wanting to do this since the start of his second term, with someone leaking a draft of this EO back in March:

I looked up the full text of the finalized EO and it's even worse:

The addition of the "Definitions" was the biggest standout for me:
Sec. 3. Definitions. (a) “Illicit fentanyl” means fentanyl that is manufactured, distributed, or dispensed, or possessed with intent to manufacture, distribute, or dispense in violation of section 401 and 406 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 841, 846).
(b) “Core precursor chemicals” means the core chemicals that create illicit fentanyl and its analogues, such as Piperidone or other Piperidone-based substances.
Piperidone is used as an intermediary in manufacturing some antidepressants, antipsychotics, and anti-anxiety medications. If this sounds familiar, RFK Jr. has made it his personal mission to ban these drugs:

What's interesting is the timing. Financial Times (FT) recently published an article (

) stating US pharma execs are worried China's biotech industry is going to surpass them in the near future. I initially thought the US sabotaging the ACA/Obamacare and the ongoing attempts to kill off Medicare would lead to China's biotech dominance. Now I realize I've underestimated just how much Republicans hate healthcare altogether.
