Trump promised the American people that he would solve the opioid crisis. He has the answers, and they’re simple, easy, and can’t miss.

“If we don’t get tough on the drug dealers we’re wasting our time. That toughness includes the death penalty,” he said of a more controversial measure to targeting drug traffickers.

He added, “If we’re not going to get tough on the drug dealers, we are just doing the wrong thing, we have got to get tough.”

That’s part one; and this could not fail. GENIUS!

Part two is to air more “bad commercials to scare kids.” “Kids can see these commercials they can say ‘I don’t want any part of it’, that’s the least expensive thing we can do,” he said.

There’s no way this could not succeed. Just look how well Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No” campaign worked back in the 1980’s.

We finally have a leader who has the answer to every major problem facing our country. I mean this great idea of executing drug dealers may still result in nearly 60,000 deaths each year as more and more Americans become addicted to opioids, but what the hell; he and Sessions get to kill more Americans. He is definitely ‘making American great again.’ JACKASS!

What an ass! He knows nothing about anything. Trump fails to understand the opioid problem; not even the root cause of this tragedy. He doesn’t care, and that’s the primary problem.

An intelligent and compassionate president would have gathered experts in the field of addiction, and experts in the treatment of chronic pain to discuss a lasting solution. An average president would have realized that doctors have been prescribing pain medication far too easily. Not Trump; he believes in adding another category to the federal death penalty, and making commercials. He is the ‘reality show president.’

Once again, a big thank you to millions of ignorant Americans who cast their ballots for the most unqualified and immoral man in American history.
