WASHINGTON - The Trump brand has been slapped on steaks, ties, wine, an airline and any number of skyscrapers, but US police have discovered a new product trying to get a high from the president's image: The drug ecstasy. Indiana State Police last month discovered tiny orange Donald Trump-shaped pills stamped with the logo "Great Again" on the back. As an advertising tool, traffickers have been known to use unique shapes and colors to create noticeable brand and keep buyers interested. The tablets were found among other illegal substances during "Operation Blue Anvil," according to a statement released by Indiana State Police. The police report's picture of the pills quickly sparked humor-laced reactions on social media. One Twitter user warned people to "avoid the Trump-shaped ecstasy pills. They've been cut with lies and hate. Bad trip, man." It's not the first time that pills featuring Trump have been reported. In August 2017, 5,000 Trump-shaped ecstasy pills were seized from a father and son who were arrested in Germany. - AFP
