Have all the people who “disapprove” of President Donald Trump considered that if he weren’t president, there’s a good chance they would have died in the past 100 days?
This is the message from the Justice Department, as Attorney General Pam Bondi has spent the week sharing some remarkable statistics.
Tuesday was Fentanyl Awareness Day. To mark the occasion, Bondi visited a Drug Enforcement Administration lab in northern Virginia where researchers are studying cartel tactics to traffic drugs across the border. In an X post from her official account that afternoon, Bondi observed, “In President Trump’s first 100 days we’ve seized over 22 million fentanyl laced pills, saving over 119 Million lives.”
