Trump said solving the opioid crisis was a top priority. His drug office’s track record suggests otherwise.

President Trump on Thursday expressed his deep support for Americans facing drug addiction in a proclamation of National Substance Abuse Prevention Month and renewed his administration’s “unyielding commitment to breaking the grip of alcohol and drug addiction.”

Trump’s expression of empathy came just two days after he mocked Joe Biden’s son’s history of drug addiction during the chaotic presidential debate.
The president’s contradicting sentiments are reflected in the way his administration has responded to the nation’s drug crisis over the last four years, with its irregular commitment exemplified by the unsteady performance of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), the government’s flagship agency in the fight against drug abuse.

The Trump administration has not been very effective here.
