Opioid issues covered: dont stop winning

Orange U. Stupid declared a public health emergency for the opioid crisis, great, only one problem:

The public health emergency fund currently only holds around $57,000

Yes, you read it correctly, $57,000 dollars, it’s not accidentally missing an “M” or a “B” anywhere.

What the hell is the point of something called the “Public Health Emergency Fund” that doesn’t have enough money to pay for a school nurse much less address something called a “Public Health Emergency”.

Republicans prove every day that they don’t give a damn about anything but lining there pockets.
That money wouldn’t cover a weekend of golf cart rentals at one of his resorts.

It’s all smoke and mirrors and one distraction after the other while that rob the treasury of every last penny.

Trump could say

"everybody is saying the moon is made from blue cheese and not just regular blue cheese but the stuff they make at the Plaza Hotel"

and 50 million Americans now BELIEVE the moon is made from Plaza Hotel blue cheese.



So he is NOT only spending that small amount of money, he is spending BILLIONS...that and he cured cancer when nobody was looking.
