Venezuela, your narco-terrorism ends now!
Honduras, your narco-terrorism must begin again!

So here's how I see it:
Someone is goading/bribing Trump into acting so that they can take control of the Central and North American narcotics trade.
That's why he pushed for invading Mexico to fight the cartels, and when that didn't work out, he shifted to starting a war with Venezuela.
It's obviously not a sincere effort to stop narcotics traffic, or he wouldn't be pardoning Hernández. It's much more likely that he's pardoning Hernández because he either already is or is intended to be a well-connected and experienced ally to Trump and whoever it is that he's working for/with.
