For someone who professes to care about our health, Trump should inform Americans that health care workers and health care faculties will no longer exist after Republicans undermine Social Security, Medicare, Veterans benefits and Medicaid. Also, first aid kits won't even be available from FEMA.
Drug trafficking is so important to Donald he gave Kash Patel not only the FBI but also the ATF. He is also considering combining the ATF and DEA to slash spending.
Fox News and Newsmax will report the lies, socialize the lies, and mainstream the lies. Thus, the vicious cycle of perpetuating this nightmare continues.
I'm confused 😕. Can we back up? Is the US so weak under trump that we have to ask Canada to protect the US border? (This may be a useless question since the flow goes into Canada)
If he really wants to make a dent in drugs coming into this country, he could just get everyone in his circle to kick all of their habits, and supply & demand would lead to a noticable drop.
Sounds like this clown is claiming to tariff fentanyl itself, which if it is smuggled would by definition skirt the tariff. As the philosopher Walter Sobchak once said: "STFU Donnie, you're out of your depth!"
These lies really tic me off! The US has sent 20 times the amount of fentanyl into Canada as has been smuggled from Canada into the US. Those are the actual facts. Meanwhile almost all gun crime in N. America is done with US weapons, mostly smuggled into Canada and Mexico. But sure, blame Canada.
My town has a huge Fentanyl problem, to the point it takes up a lot of resources that we just don't have. It's really bad.
And it's all come *from* the US *into* Canada.
The audacity to use this serious issue as a way to target and slander *us* is infuriating.
Trump’s claims, as they relate to Canada, are bogus - however, the fundamental problem, demand, is real, and that’s our problem. As long as there’s huge demand, there’ll be supply to meet the demand.
If someone lies constantly 🤥, keeping track becomes tough, and cognitive decline 🤯 makes it worse. That’s why contradictions and slip-ups pile up. Do his supporters notice, or just ignore it? 🤔
Yes, it's fake. Canada's not the culprit of drugs into US. Check your ports. The largest amount of imports come through your ports, yet only 1 of every 10 seacans are checked. You are your own worst enemy in so many ways
Probably kinder for American kids to die from opioid overdoses than measles or Vit A toxicity.
Of course, it would be better if they didn't die at all...
I hate the opioid crisis as much as anyone but his faux concern for life is such a sham. Especially when he (and all repubs) choose to do nothing to address the excessive gun deaths in our nation.
He did not write "Tariffing the value"--not sure who has the assignment to try to sound like him, sort of, but they are not getting the *voice* right. This might just be someone trying to help support the "war" argument?
Ugh! Him and his 'radical left' bullshit never stops. Can you say something that sounds less boring and predictable? Still waiting. Been decades, you fucking assclown! Give the world a fucking break, you miserable cunt!
Are drug dealers fucking stupid? If they gave trump a cut, he would have us troops escorting them over the border, and carrying fentanyl, so that the smugglers didn't get too tired.
He negotiated the greatest deal anyone has ever made. Now looks for a way to renege
Who is coming up with these strategies. He’s not capable in any way. He only regurgitates bs his simpletons feed him.
Serious question, what do we do when the republicans just invent TrumpGPT? It will be 90% less senile and probably be better at manipulating stupid people than the original. Seriously Trump looks more like a malfunctioning chat bot than the real ones.
So how is it with fentanyl that the drugs are the problem but with guns, the people are the problem? Also, we all know this has nothing to do with fentanyl.
He obviously didn’t write this. He would never use the word “flagrant”, doesn’t know what it means or how to spell it. Also he doesn’t know about commas.
Tariff seem the be word of the day any day for that orange virus.
Should think he would know what it means by now but he is that stupid so no.
Enjoy the punishment America it´s your fool to keep.
Trump only publicly blames Canada for .2% of the fentanyl coming through to the USA. He’s been told that Canada gets most of its poison and guns -from- the USA. It’s just an excuse to ruin a close relationship at the behest of his anti-American backers and blackmailers (Musk/Thiel/Russia)
We all know how Trump and company want to protect American drug users from fentanyl. If it takes a trade war and alienating a close ally, that's what we must do to protect all those people who are trying to take fentanyl.
Trump is a con artist. Don’t be fooled. Canada does not traffic significant amounts of fentanyl. This is a pretext. Trump is lying about his motives because he thinks it’s politically popular.
Oh Donald, you should take a look inside yourself. We are moving on to our other trading partners and your fellow citizens are not going to like it. Ask the folks who make bourbon how the trade war is going for them.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I feel like "flagrant" isn't a word that would normally come out of his mouth, his ghost writers need to do better
Also, are they being paid per comma?
Remember they aren't talking to us now, just MAGA.
They just need to tell them what to believe, facts don't matter, it doesn't bother them they look stupid, that's the point in some ways.... It's the "Big Lie" and it works.
I mean the tariffs will certainly affect clearmarket, medical-use fentanyl and other opioids, but just like people do not do sales tax withholdings for their drug dealing, nobody is gonna be collecting a tariff on blackmarket opiates
Homeboy is acting like drug dealers and smugglers pay tariffs. To be clear, they don’t. The president is a moron. It may be the dementia or it may be his own innate stupidity
It’s neither, really. It’s his shameless attempt at getting his base riled up, because they ARE stupid enough to believe his lies and to take his total lack of logic as truth.
Wow. Murkowski and Collins are RELIABLY on the bandwagon over their own better angels (which makes them worse), Paul—a fake Libertarian GOP clown, and McConnel—the most heartless political performer the US Senate ever produced. And THEY are not feeling it?
I wonder if the Secret Service would throw themselves in front of a polar bear.
Just remember, you only have to outrun him and I’m pretty sure his cardio sucks.
Reading further, he is also saying that fentanyl is being legally exported to the United States,l and that it will be subject to these tariffs !!!
What ???
I’m referring to the illicit fentanyl and I believe he is also.
FYI – fentanyl is still currently being produced, and used, in the United States for legal medical purposes.
Wow, it looks like Trump is finally understanding that tariffs are paid by the consumer (ie. drug taker), and not the country that the tariffs are place on!😲
Wait, how do you tariff fentanyl to "make it more costly to distribute and buy?"
Do modern drug dealers buy/sell their wares over standard trade routes? If the gov't knows who they are to apply a tariff, wouldn't it be easier to, I don't know, arrest them at ports of entry since it's illegal?
Tomorrow he will lie about something else. He doesn’t care that the problem with fentanyl is here. I would imagine use has gone up since he was elected.
They're about ratcheting up the confrontation with CA toward taking Canadian territory.
Conveniently, doing so legitimizes what Putin has been doing to its neighbors, and especially Ukraine. How about that....
I don’t even think it’s about drugs or what Trump sees as Canada ripping the US off (the deficit). It’s about ideology. If you’re a liberal country, which Canada is, he doesn’t like you. If you’re a right wing fascist country, preferably a dictatorship, you’re in the club.
And he’s still mad at Canada for having hot Justin Trudeau as PM. Trudeau was the object of Melania’s swooning in ecstasy every time they met in public.
He also wants to dismantle everything Obama ever did b/c he was mean to him at that correspondent’s dinner.
History is driven by petty men.
I dunno but when opioid supplies decrease druggies will turn to other drugs. Bring back quaaludes and I'll join them. No really no opioids? Meth and cocaine use will increase.
He knows absolutely nothing about the fentanyl public health crisis or international drug trafficking. Zero. "To make it more costly to distribute and buy"? He sounds like he wants to make fentanyl more affordable for people. 🥴 But a run-on sentence quickly dissolves into a meaningless mess anyway.
More fentanyl precursors and production happens in the US than comes in from Canada's borders. This has nothing to do with fentanyl- Putin said to go against Canada so he could take our northern half and the the US take the Southern - this will become war!
Jeezus! It's their own pharmaceutical industry that has caused the mass addiction problem! Which, if looked at another way, is the rich getting richer at the expense of everybody else. And he's blaming Canada!? 🙄
I'm sure the smugglers will pay up...idiots shouldn't be in politics. I demand iq tests, literacy tests, dementia tests, academic records and resumé's for all candidates going forward! It's too important to leave govt up to fools and ignorant people.
As a Canadian I am BEGGING my American neighbours to bring more of this Wisconsin energy to the rest of your country. Please don’t let Mango Mussolini destroy America and our 200 year friendship.
Canada accounts for only 0.2% of fentanyl coming into the United States.
'Canada' is meant to distract you from the Administration's blatant racism against Mexico – since it all comes from CHINA to begin with. https://www.dea.gov/sites/defaul...
I find it funny that no one talks about curbing the market for fentanyl, vs stopping the flow. As long as there is demand they will find a way to get in here. It's just insane.
That's right. It will ultimately be paid by your local drug dealer. Who will pass it on to customers. Eventually fentanyl will become too costly and meth addiction will reign supreme. That will be manufactured in backyard labs.
That was my interpretation too. If that’s something that can be done, that means it’s deliberately imported into the country, that its sale is controlled. Upends his own assertions.
No, he’s using the tariffs to “punish” them for not stopping more illegal drug trade at the border, except that they do and it actually punishes the American people.
Well, you see, he's not tariffing the illegal drugs, he's simply tariffing Canada on other items in order to compensate for the value of the drugs that Canada intentionally allows into the US.
Most red states are barely treading water if not sinking. Blue states are already paying all their bills. We need to start thinking about this financial dilemma so we can keep our own money in our democratic strongholds. Even in red states democratic strongholds have all the money
The blue states have always bailed out the goddamn red states who won’t ever admit all the help they’ve gotten from them and all the red state governors are so ungrateful asshokes about it too!

OH, and that ~45lbs not coming in is gonna fix all the drug problems this time. I just know it!
Drug dealers ALWAYS pay related duties and taxes !
Bless their hearts.

Someone should ask him "how?", but no one will...
If his mouth is moving - verbally or via posting - bullshit is emanating.

Do the drug traffickers also file their taxes correctly?
Who is coming up with these strategies. He’s not capable in any way. He only regurgitates bs his simpletons feed him.

Enjoy the punishment America it´s your fool to keep.
Dimwit Donny thinks illegal Fentanyl can have a tariff applied to it, so it is more expensive for drug users?
Fucking moron.
my illegal, snuck in, hidden drugs will cost more
how they going to do it by weight or buy the baggie ?
lol lol
Also, are they being paid per comma?
They just need to tell them what to believe, facts don't matter, it doesn't bother them they look stupid, that's the point in some ways.... It's the "Big Lie" and it works.
I mean, why did nobody come up with the obvious solution of putting tariffs on illegal drugs? Genius!
Just remember, you only have to outrun him and I’m pretty sure his cardio sucks.

Your President definitely lives in an alternate universe. And it would be funny if he didn’t have the nuclear codes.
The only fools who believe are happy to be deceived because they have no depth, shame or functioning brain.
He wants people to say, “Donald you were right all along. Nobody believed in this tariff idea, except you - and you were right. You’re a genius.”
Same with Musk and government spending.
Same with RFK jr and vaccinations.
Conveniently, doing so legitimizes what Putin has been doing to its neighbors, and especially Ukraine. How about that....
It's clearly total nonsense but how many Republicans will be willing to defy him and say so 🤔
He also wants to dismantle everything Obama ever did b/c he was mean to him at that correspondent’s dinner.
History is driven by petty men.
Sure, Mr border protector, I'd like to declare this shipment and pay the proper tax...
The orange one really has no idea how tariffs are paid/collected.
95% of what he says is lies...
Lying POS.

Stupid every which way, obviously.
Blue states should buy only from blue states.
It takes a bit of getting use to but once you know what products to boycott, it becomes easier.
Our Premiere, David Eby in BC, is working on passing legislation to tariff trucks going through to Alaska but not Washington State.
Yeah, all 1.14lbs of it in Feb.
Fuck off🖕🏻
