I remember that being the most mystifying part of AWice's post at the time (well, either that or the bit where Trump was going to take on the Fed, anyway). Trump is anti alcohol and drugs in his personal life, having had a brother die of alcoholism, and he's a massive authoritarian. I actually didn't think he'd do anything on drug laws at all. I still think this marijuana thing might just be some whim of Trump's that never comes to anything concrete, but I have been repeatedly proven wrong when expecting that things will not get worse/dumber. But anyway, the idea that Trump would be a force for drug liberalization is astonishing. That ability of Trump's to keep himself a blank slate and just have his fans project their own policy preferences on to him was amazing.
