The Spin


Pro-Trump narrative

This strike sends a clear message that America will no longer tolerate narco-terrorists poisoning its communities with deadly drugs. Trump must be praised for securing the whole Western Hemisphere from narco-terrorist organizations.

Anti-Trump narrative

This strike amounts to summary executions of suspected drug traffickers without due process or evidence of their guilt, in a blatant breach of international law. To make matters worse, the U.S. has shown no evidence that the boat was actually carrying drugs.
