In the article it sounds like he's referring to the gang activity as a military operation.

It's pretty clear that Trump fetishizes the military in manner very similar to those jokers who helped the Bundy's occupying Malheur last year. As such, I imagine he gets more than a little thrill pretending to be a big hero like (the cinematic version of those) WWII generals he's constantly namedropping.

It's quite likely he's approaching the terminus of a downward spiral he's been on for a while. I'd feel bad for him, if he had even a single redeeming quality whatsoever.

and poor people shouldn't be allowed to afford fun things, that's not right

The woman who runs Maine's SNAP was just on NPR an hour or so ago and I don't think I've ever heard someone so condescendingly describe why, exactly, poor people shouldn't be allowed to buy certain things with their public assistance money. She even started talking more slowly, as though the interviewer was too dim to understand the self-evident truth of her words or something.

what was she railing against, fresh fruit and vegetables?

She framed it as "well first of all, the program is called SNAP the *transitions to talking-to-impared-kindergarteners tempo and diction* ~*Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program*~, and it's just common sense that taxpayers shouldn't fund things that aren't appropriately nutritional. We've got an obesity epidemic in Maine, so it's clear we have to get the poors off of soda and candy. No, of course we shouldn't consider any sort of sin tax scheme that might impact people who have money."

That expression actually is much older and refers to hog-tying the person to a fence rail and then carting them out to the town limits and dumping them.

Of course, all the fence rails have also been sold for heroin so your larger point stands.

I've seen recipes for whiskey drinks that have maple in them, but frankly I think it's a case where two good things might not go that well together.
