Gosh, things went so well the last time an American President (the same one in fact) told the American public to voluntarily give up things to help with a problem the nation was facing.
Surely they'll react well this time too.

The problem with telling Somalis to go back to Somalia and fix it before criticizing the problems in the US is that ever since the 1960s as Somalis try to fix their country, Western countries have decided they're fixing it wrong and broken it again. Repeatedly, a couple times a decade.

I don't know if you were aware, but most drug traffickers and dealers, even on the level of the major cartels, would rather their customers not die upon using their product.

So, back when we only knew the name "Age of Sigmar" but not what it was gonna be, I surmised it was going to be the Horus Heresy to WHFB and be set in the era Sigmar rose to power and did his legendary deeds. Like, Warhammer Conan Style.
