Scott Jennings: Trump Keeping His Options Open On Using U.S. Military Against Mexican Drug Cartels

Posted • August 10, 2025: Republican commentator Scott Jennings says President Donald Trump wants to bring Mexico’s drug cartels to heel. U.S. military intervention is not off the table since Trump views these cartels as terrorist organizations. Jennings met some resistance on CNN NewsNight. —— Scott Jennings @ScottJenningsKY: “President Trump is right to keep his military options open on fighting the terrorist drug cartels. These are dangerous enemies who have killed thousands of Americans. He’ll have strong political support should be choose to engage the militarily here.” —— Strong stance on cartels—Americans want decisive action taken. Yes, with or without Mexico’s approval. One panel guest is okay with Fentanyl pouring across the borders. Calls it a "strawman" and presents no real solution? That guy is status quo "let it happen" and alleviates any responsibility to the Mexican government. That guy has never been punched in the face and forced to learn from his decisions. Scott just verbally punched him.

That deranged deluded moron CNN wanted to highly defend the fact that Mexico has been FIGHTING THIS WAR FOR 50 YEARS — 50 YEARS they've been fighting!!! I wonder what it will look like if they HAD NOT BEEN fighting for 50 years. How does CNN find so many morons! That guy is an idiot he always has the most absurd arguments. He doesn’t even believe what he’s saying. Like Jennings said, continuing the wrong thing or doing nothing are not options. That’s why Trump is open to using the military to take out cartels. We have foreign armies across our southern border who are smuggling drugs into our country that kill Americans. The cartels are operating like terrorist armies, trafficking drugs, weapons, and human lives across our border without fear. If foreign governments won’t stop them, America has every right to defend its people and end the threat at its source. (…)
