That low, dishonest decade. Back when his memory and his dick both worked without so much chemical assistance — or at least that’s how the old man remembers it, now…
This rally is, of course, being touted by the usual Horse Race media hacks as “the start of the 2020 campaign.” Because Donny Dollhands isn’t the only one who prefers cheap nostalgia to real work!
Trump: "We're pouring a lot of money and a lot of talent into this horrible problem." He has announced no new funding since declaring a public health emergency.

(Spoiler for the Youngs, or anyone else who doesn’t remember that far back: Reagan’s people didn’t care about “the drug problem”, either. It just gave them a handy distraction from things like their Iran-Contra criminality.)

Welp.
One of the solutions that Trump touted today for the opioid crisis is THE CLINTON FOUNDATION.
