The Colorado Example When He Switched On Medical Pot

When asked if [Colorado] concerned him, Trump responded that “it’s a real problem.” But then Trump changed the subject, explaining that “there’s another problem… the book isn’t written on it yet, but there’s a lot of difficulty in terms of illness and what’s going on with the brain and the mind, and what it’s doing… it’s coming out, probably, over the next year or so.” (On The O’Reilly Factor segment, 2016)

Here, he might be hinting at negative effects but it’s unclear.

He praises the medical perks but shuns a state with a booming industry.

Because Trump wants Fox News viewers in his camp, he’s protecting them.

Some of his words even read like a script from a Fox talk show.
