He is. He has secured billions for education and awareness campaigns on the dangers of opioid use, in partnership with the Ad Council and the Truth Initiative. He is funding an initiative to support recovering addicts and has implemented the Safer Prescribing Plan which aims to cut nationwide opioid prescription by one third, as well as promote best practices among healthcare providers. It's a two-pronged approach, neutralise the foreign cartels and raise support and awareness domestically.

This reads like a press release from the Trump Administration. Actually from the first Trump Adminstration. This information is about programs during the first Trump administration which is when the Truth Initiative and Safer Prescribing plans took place.  Nothing to do with the second Trump administration. Apart from these minor quibbles, you're doing great work.

 

Here are some links to actual current information.

Ii raise several specific issue to show the flaws in your reason and your ignorance of the facts, and this is all you've got? It's laughable.

 

Okay placeholder.

I wonder if we will ever learn how much Trump made from pardoning criminals? 

It isn't all a selfless act, surely?

Seems that Trump is pardoning a lot of drug dealers and bosses - the USA is about to become a super narco state.

And the effects of that are already clearly visible with some members on this forum.

So, can you explain to us here how Trump's " two-pronged approach " is supposed to help America? It's clear that the one hand it will interdict  cocaine shipments bound for the European market and on the other it will slash funding for anti-drug programs at home. For some reason, it seems unclear but I'm sure you will share with the rest of us a perfectly good explanation. 

 

This echochamber of severe Syndrome sufferers is suffocating.

So, I point out that the evidence you used to defend Trump's drug war effort was irrelevant since it happened during his first administration. Also, I pointed out that cocaine transshipped via Venezuela goes mainly to Europe, not the USA. And what you offer in response is this? "This echochamber of severe Syndrome sufferers is suffocating."?

And you claim I'm the one suffering from some sort of derangement? It is to laugh.

Indeed it is to laugh, placeholder. Is Trump going to jail anytime soon, by the way?

And now the world's expert on trying to fix elections weighs in with his threepence.

 

US President Donald Trump on Monday accused Honduras election officials of “trying to change” the outcome of the presidential vote after the race was too close to call in the digital preliminary results, and the remaining votes are being counted by hand. Trump, who has thrown his weight behind the conservative candidate, warned there will be “hell to pay” if he considers the final results manipulated.

 

Donald Trump accused election officials in Honduras on Monday of “trying to change” their presidential election outcome, as a partial digital tally revealed the two frontrunners are locked in a “technical tie".

The National Electoral Council (CNE) has called for “patience” as it starts a manual count of the November 30 vote, in one of Latin America’s most impoverished and violent countries.

  

Trump-backed Nasry Asfura, 67, led 72-year-old rival Salvador Nasralla by just 515 votes, making it a “technical tie", CNE head Ana Paola Hall said on social media, although the race is too close to call after a preliminary count.
