President Trump called New Hampshire a drug-infested den during a heated phone call in January with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, according to a transcript obtained by The Washington Post and published on Thursday.
We have a massive drug problem where kids are becoming addicted to drugs because the drugs are being sold for less money than candy, the president said. I won New Hampshire because New Hampshire is a drug-infested den.
Trump won the Republican presidential primary in the Granite State but lost there to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the general election.
His comments sparked a furious reaction from New Hampshire's elected officials.
