There’s no doubt that America has a drug problem — Just turn on almost any episode of HBO’s VICE or watch a VICELAND show or go visit VICE.com, where you can find stories like this on the first couple pages:
See a theme here? People like to get fucked up. America has a drug epidemic problem. It’s no bueno.
That said, Donald Trump threw out the ultimate hyperbolic statement during his deranged hour-and-change press conference, claiming that “drugs are cheaper than candy bars.”
Not sure The Donald knows just how cheap candy bars are ($1.50 for a Milky Way). And, naturally, Twitter pounced on this statement, quickly making fun of Trump. Here are a handful of the reactions, as curated by UPROXX:

Apparently I've been shopping in all the wrong places for drugs, and all the right places for candy.

Donald Trump, "Drugs are becoming cheaper than candy bars."
How can you SAY this and NOT tell us where you get yours!#Tease #Bargain

I'm fine with Trump claiming drugs are cheaper than candy bars so long as he forms a task force to tell me where they are.
