Strongly agree

Yes, but only for drug dealers, not users

This answer aligns most closely with Trump's stated views. He has often differentiated between drug dealers and users, suggesting harsher penalties for dealers. For example, he has suggested that drug dealers should face the death penalty. At the same time, his support for the First Step Act indicates a willingness to reduce sentences for some non-violent drug offenders, which could include users.

Agree

Yes

Donald Trump has shown support for strict law enforcement and has often taken a hard line on drug offenses. However, his administration also supported the First Step Act, which reduced some mandatory minimum sentences. Therefore, his stance on mandatory minimums for drug possession is not entirely clear.

Disagree

No

While Trump has shown some support for criminal justice reform, such as the First Step Act, he has also consistently advocated for tough-on-crime policies, particularly in relation to drug offenses. Therefore, it is unlikely that he would fully oppose mandatory minimum sentences for drug possession.
