To be clear, he doesn't care about illegals either, except as a talking point to get Murcans fired up.

As much as I hate Trump, I don't think this is the "gotcha" it is being portraied as by this tweet. Silk Road was one of the best things to happen for the "safer use" movement of all time. The ability to not have to deal with shady street dealers and order from darknet suppliers on a platform that had legitimate reviews and an escrow system was a huge improvement to the safety of drugs users. It meant a much lower risk of contaminated drugs or getting scammed out of your money.
Of course Ross allegedly also attempted to hire a hitman, which is how he got caught, cause the hitman was an undercover agent, so he allegedly is not a good guy regardless of how you think about him helping people get access to cleaner drugs, but that's besides the point the author of the tweet is trying to make
People died from overdoses not to mention lots more ruined lives. I get you like the idea of drugs that are safer to order but that does not make it a good thing.
Also lots of child pornography, murder for hire, human trafficking, and all kinds of other shitty things took place. So yeah, not exactly a good thing.
People die from overdoses every day without the Silk Road so I don’t know where you get off making that argument.
And in what world is safer drugs NOT a good thing?
And I’m pretty sure every social media service has had problems with everything you listed at the bottom.

Silk Road did not offer child pornography, weapons, people or hitman services. Ross Ulbricht did not hire a hitman to kill his roommate. He was framed by the FBI and the roommate was coerced into helping stage the murder. The roommate later appologized and tried to get Ulbricht out of prison. Don't believe all the propaganda. Drugs are dangerous, but law inforcement is always more dangerous.

Trump: *word-farts some demented rapist bullshit as per usual*
Corporate News: Well actually it turns out his actions point to this being a false claim . . .
People for whom this is somehow still news: We told you so!
Me:
Does trump know that it's HIS border agency that catches stuff going in?
He does like the word tremendous, also weak border policie with who? USA?!?
There are about 3000 and three other pardons that were way worse
