He'd get investors to put up the money to buy the drugs, telling them they'll be repaid out of the proceeds of the sale in the U.S. He'd pay himself hefty fees for buying the drugs, for buying the sack (which has a big beautiful TRUMP logo on each side, generating a licensing fee for use of the name), for packaging and transporting the drugs, and for tossing the sack. If the drugs can't be recovered and sold, well, it's the investors who take the loss.

So he's just assuming that some Mexican drug lord would be smart enough to do it that way, too.
