Meanwhile he claims that the US is sinking fishing boats in international waters because, with no evidence, they're somehow involved in the drug trade/
Trump has surrounded himself with yes-men, who apparently fawn vacantly at Trump's incomprehensible rambling.
Think it through. Is there any point to parsing Trump's presidential rhetoric?
We know he's a liar*. So even if we can construe intended meaning by grammatical similarity, why bother?
Can you name any celebrity here on Earth, or elsewhere in the solar system that lies more prolifically than President of the United States of America Donald John Trump?
Would a U.S. president lie about war?
"There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction.There is no doubt that he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us." V.P. Cheney"8/26/02" C-SPAN2
"Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt, that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised." U.S.President Bush (the younger) televised address to the U.S. March17th, 2003
"Time is not on our side. I will not wait on events while dangers gather. I will not stand by as peril draws closer and closer. The United States of America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons."
U.S.President Bush (the younger) in his State of the Union speech Jan. 29, 2002

The question you're raising re WMD's is really whether or not they were provided with accurate intelligence.
I have a personal opinion on this S2, so I can't provide a link / URL.
In my personal opinion:
U.S. President #43 GWB wanted to teach his father U.S. President #41 GHWB a lesson.
#41 thought as many in the public thought, GHWB / Desert Storm / Commander Schwarzkopf could have / should have battled Iraqi troops ousted from Kuwait, all the way back to Baghdad. BUT !!
#41 had the excuse of expelling Iraqi troops from Kuwait.
#43 didn't have that, or enough else. SO !
#43 simply concocted his bogus casus belli out of lies.
We now know these are outright lies.
"Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt" - piffle -
And we pretty much knew they were lies, as U.N. Inspectors Blix & Ritter picked Saddam / Iraq clean before #43 GWB got started.
“Is god willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him god?” ― Epicurus (341-270 BC) initially posted by S2 years ago
counterpoint:
Philosopher George Carlin parodied a believer describing god's omnipotence in his own terms:
But it demonstrates utilitarian rationale for deriving a more sophisticated viewpoint.

"We even brought our superstar today -- Karoline. Isn't she great? Is Karoline great?

Pop-pop-pop, like a little machine gun. She's got no fear." ~ Trump, at rally, on WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

"Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME... with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before." ~ Trump post
"He was a deranged person, as far as Trump was concerned... I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape, or form. I thought he was very bad for our country." ~ Trump

"One of the most divisive political figures in American history." ~ from bronze plaque bio of Obama in Trump's new WH "Presidential Walk of Fame"
"The primitive simplicity of their minds (the masses) rend them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one for they themselves often tell little lies but would be ashamed to tell the big ones ... The victor will never be asked if they told the truth. ... Success is the sole earthly judge of right & wrong."

I'm sure this is going to play well with his hardcore right wing base. The ones who watch "Reefer Madness" without laughing.
OK
Schedule #3 isn't going to make Joe 12 pack / MAGA happy.
It's not going to make the do-a-blunt crowd jubilant.
I'd be surprised if Trump's older sons didn't offer some insight about it. This one's a puzzle to me.
I'm not sure it even rises to the level of "half-stepping".
Trump is willing to demolish the white house East wing,
but political timidity produces this ?
It seems granting banking access to the MJ industry is among the more substantial consequences.
Is there a cryptocurrency angle here?
For me the depressing part of this is, Berenson, this pseudo-con strongly holds views conspicuously contrary to political conservatism, yet continues to seek the prestige genuine conservatives earn.
It's politically conservative to support smaller, less intrusive, less authoritarian government.
Think the U.S. Founders didn't think that way? They thought exactly that way, and said so!
Yet this dizzy hypocrite pseudo-con isn't a champion of smaller government and citizen responsibility.
Berenson prefers, advocates for martial oppression, War against the People, and thinks bureaucrats should make decisions for his countrymen.
You're a traitor Berenson.
