The Real Drug Problem

If Dumb Donald really wanted to stop drugs in our country he would stop torturing families at the border and get after his rich buddy Richard  Sackler who is probably singularly responsible for the opioid crisis in America. He is so wealthy that he has wings named after him at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, an entire Museum at Harvard, and a center at the Guggenheim Museum. He gets all these Museums named after him because he has $13 billion dollars. He has all those billions because he solely owns Purdue Pharma that produces all those addictive drugs ruining American lives. The place is most known for producing OxyCodone.  Before this drug was introduced into society we didn't have such a crisis. 
The FDA allowed them to falsely market the drug as being less addictive and that proved to be false. The number of available pills jumped 800% in less than 10 years. Now over 130 Americans die from overdoses per day. The Sackler family has made over $20,000 per overdose death. They are making the blood money on American lives and Trump could care less. He gave him big tax breaks as a even higher reward. 
The Opioid crisis is straining foster care as kids are becoming orphaned because their parents died from an overdose. Trumpsters only care about stopping abortions but could care less about all the orphaned kids we already have in America. Now the company already pled guilty for misrepresenting OxyCodone but then Sackler passed the blame on Americans by testifing , "We have to hammer on abusers. They are the culprits and the problem. They are all reckless criminals." Meanwhile we are talking about prescription drugs that he produces and distributes widely.
They didn't stop there either. Sackler embraced a plan to conceal OxyContin's strength from doctors. This rich guy's fortune came from the sale of drugs that kill hundreds of thousands Americans. Now the company is still being sued and is currently considering bankruptcy. You know, to protect their assets. They should be giving every penny to addiction treatment centers. Maybe if Trump did anything cloes to punishing his wealthy buddy our drug problems would end.
