America has a huge illegal drug poisoning problem.  From 2021 to 2024 the American drug poisoning death toll was six times the number of deaths from Vietnam, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars combined. Six times the number of Americans died from drugs in four years compared to Americans who died in those combined wars that lasted decades.  In those four years, nary a peep was heard from the White House—and neither the President nor Vice-President gave a single speech on it.

Help is on the way.

A dynamic communicator in Sara Carter has been nominated Drug Czar; we have sealed the border, stopping much of the flow of fentanyl; we are arresting cartelized gangs; and taking out drug boats in international waters.  These are huge gains in addressing the supply side of the drug problem and, combined with demand side prevention messaging, we could be on the cusp of turning around this too-undiscussed pandemic of death.

Kudos to the Trump administration for taking on this neglected, but deadly serious, issue. Lives will be saved.
