Summary

Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed during a White House Cabinet meeting that Donald Trump saved 75% of Americans from death by seizing fentanyl, attributing 258 million lives saved to the confiscation of 3,400 kilos.

Her exaggerated praise marked Trump’s first 100 days as “the most consequential” presidency ever. Trump’s Cabinet echoed similar sycophantic praise despite economic contraction from trade policies.

Bondi’s remarks distorted drug statistics and ignored other efforts, such as Narcan, which contributed to 2024’s first opioid death decline since 2018.

RFK Jr. now plans to eliminate Narcan distribution programs.

This is what will actually directly kill tens of thousands of people.

Chicken soup and vitamin A is what addicts who overdose really need, not narcan.

Wait

You guys realize that everything they say has some link to things they end up doing right?

They’re targeting 258 million people.

That actually aligns, roughly, with the number of votes he got. So, yes, they are targeting everyone who didn’t vote for him (or didn’t vote).

Except they’re also targeting those who did.

Wow I didn’t know 258 million Americans were opioid addicts and in danger of fentanyl overdoses.

I guess removal of the Narcan program makes sense now, as 3,400kg of fentanyl is most certainly all of the fentanyl that has ever been and will be made.

There’s also no more morphine, heroine, oxycodone, hydromorphone, or any other opioids in America. It was all replaced with fentanyl, which has all been seized. The war on drugs is officially won.
