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.
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.
