Trump vs. Fentanyl: Tariffs, Borders & Drug Death Plot Twists

In a twist that math teachers dream of, U.S. drug deaths hit their lowest since the futuristic-sounding March 2025—yes, we peaked early in the future—which the federal data kindly confirmed. Yet, out on his rerun stage, former President Trump keeps brandishing fentanyl like it’s a Swiss Army knife for policy, justifying everything from immigration crackdowns to trade war tantrums. One might wonder if fentanyl’s now doubling as a convincing multi-purpose political discount code. Meanwhile, federal stats quietly slip in their good news, proving the drug death apocalypse keeps delaying the afterparty Trump used as a marquee. Spoiler: We’re all still gasping for clarity while policy gets caught in reruns.
