1. El Discurso de la "Guerra contra el Fentanilo".
Las publicaciones indican que Trump utiliza la crisis del fentanilo para justificar políticas de mano dura, como aranceles y un mayor control fronterizo, presentándose públicamente como un defensor en la lucha contra la droga.
- Trump says he’s saving lives by "securing the border." but his fentanyl plan includes cutting medicaid and addiction care — the very tools proven to prevent overdose deaths.
- In the name of reducing fentanyl overdoses, trump has gone to the extreme—levying tariffs against canada, mexico, and china; listing cartels as terrorist organizations.
- Trump has been blathering on about the smuggling of fentanyl across the canadian border to justify tariffs.
- Trump claims to be deporting immigrants because they bring fentanyl into the us. Yet he’s stopped funding for the most immediate, effective way of preventing people from dying from fentanyl overdoses: narcan.
2. Recortes a Programas de Tratamiento y Prevención.
El argumento central de las críticas es que, a pesar de su discurso, la administración Trump ha recortado o propuesto recortes significativos a fondos destinados a programas de tratamiento de adicciones, salud mental y prevención de sobredosis como Narcan.
- Trump cut treatment programs for people with addiction problems. He doesn’t care are fentanyl deaths.
- Trump ends narcan program and programs that combat opiod addictions, and other drug addiction. So much for the fight against fentanyl.
- Trump is cutting billions from treatment and health interventions that keep people safe from fentanyl to justify increasing border control funding.
- The trump administration wants to cut funding for narcan for first responders.
- Trump team revokes 11 billion in funding for addiction, mental health care but trump cares so much about the fentanyl crisis.
3. Acusaciones de Hipocresía y Uso Político.
Numerosos posteos acusan a Trump de no preocuparse realmente por las muertes por fentanilo, sino de usar la crisis como una táctica política para justificar aranceles, políticas antiinmigrantes y desviar fondos hacia otras áreas de su interés.
- Trump does not give a fuck about fentanyl and opioid addiction. He uses it as a political tactic - and that's it: trump’s draft budget ends a narcan program and other programs to fight addiction.
- Eliminating the narcan program proves that trump's using fentanyl as an excuse for tariffs is just hypocritical.
- The fact that trump just cut federal spending for addiction treatment programs across the country, puts the lie to his fentanyl crisis excuse for imposing tariffs.
- Fentanyl, trump’s excuse for wars against canada/mexico/china’s tariffs and his war against immigrants. Meanwhile he is defunding drug rehabs and the narcan program that saves people from fentanyl.
- He mentions fentanyl again while slashing narcan training and opioid prevention.
4. Consecuencias de los Recortes en la Salud Pública.
Los autores de los posteos advierten que la eliminación de fondos para servicios de salud y prevención tendrá consecuencias directas y graves, como el aumento de las muertes por sobredosis y la reducción del acceso a tratamientos vitales para la población afectada.
- The result? longer wait times, fewer overdose prevention options, & more lives lost. All while boosting ice funding using the “fight against fentanyl” as justification.
- These cuts will take away lifesaving treatment during an overdose crisis.
- Trump is making the fentanyl crisis worse. He’s blocking 140m in overdose response grants and cutting addiction and mental health care. Experts say 156,00 people could lose treatment. Overdose deaths could rise by 1,00 a year.
- Federal spending cuts instigated by the white house threaten to reverse a steep decline in american overdose deaths and are jeopardizing other gains in the battle against synthetic opioids.
