Trump Immediately HALTS His Speech As Soon As He Spotted Who Was Hiding In The Crowd
During a speech about the new war on drugs, President Trump stopped & asked Jim and Jeanne
Moser of East Kingston to speak about how they lost their son Adam.
Adam died from a fentanyl overdose back in 2015 after he became addicted to all kinds
of prescription drugs which he was able to get just from his family's kitchen cabinet.
Mrs. Moser went on to explain that her son just made a bad choice one night and he got
himself hooked on drugs.
Which later landed him in the streets where he was introduced to the death sentence which
is fentanyl, a drug that's fast becoming one of the deadliest known to man, 50 to 100
times stronger than morphine.
Moser relayed to the crowd:
'Adam was our oldest son.
He was a great kid.
He was a smart kid.
He was the kind of kid that made you feel really good about yourself.
You give him five minutes; you really liked him.
He just made a bad choice one night.
As smart as he was, he found his way into our kitchen cabinet.
And, sadly, the rest is history.
He got hooked on it.
He's been gone for two-and-a-half years, and we miss him every day.'In his 40 minute
speech, the president went on to detail some of his $13 billion dollar plan which will,
unlike the plans that came before, focus on treatment while at the same time reducing
demand by eliminating the gateways which lead to a person becoming addicted to these dangerous
substances.
Trump's plan also imposes the death penalty for some of the highest level drug pushers
in the nation.
The president made it very clear, we will protect our children from these drugs, which
he affirms will make our nation "better, brighter, stronger and greater than ever before.
Because as long as we have trust in our citizens, pride in our country and faith in our God,
we will not fail."
"failure is not an option and addiction is not in our future" he added.Via WMUR:
'Calling the opioid epidemic a scourge, but vowing that it will be defeated, President
Donald Trump returned to New Hampshire Monday to unveil a broad plan to combat the crisis.
While the $13 billion plan is multipronged and focuses on treatment and reducing demand
by eliminating over-prescription, the president in a 30-minute speech at Manchester Community
College strongly reiterated his call for the death penalty to be imposed on some traffickers.
Trump was accompanied to Manchester by first lady Melania Trump, Attorney General Jeff
Session, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, Secretary of Homeland Security
Kirstjen Nielsen, Surgeon General Jerome Adams and drug czar Jim Carroll.
The president praised first responders, saying that they exemplify "the American heart
who fight every day to help rescue their fellow citizens from the grips of addiction."
"They remind us that for America, there is nothing beyond our reach.
Nothing at all," Trump said.
"We will protect our beautiful children and we will ensure that tomorrow is better,
brighter, stronger and greater than ever before.
Because as long as we have trust in our citizens, pride in our country and faith in our God,
we will not fail.'
Many will say this has been tried before under the Nancy Reagan's, "Just Say No" campaign
during the 80's and it didn't work.
But this isn't the same plan and to say the "Just Say No" campaign of the 80's
didn't work isn't 100% true, for many of us 80's kids thought it was cool to "Just
say no," and we did.

Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid analgesic that is similar to morphine but is 50 to 100
times more potent.
It is a schedule II prescription drug,3 and it is typically used to treat patients with
severe pain or to manage pain after surgery.4 It is also sometimes used to treat patients
with chronic pain who are physically tolerant to other opioids.5 In its prescription form,
fentanyl is known by such names as Actiq®, Duragesic®, and Sublimaze®.5,6 Street names
for fentanyl or for fentanyl-laced heroin include Apache, China Girl, China White, Dance
Fever, Friend, Goodfella, Jackpot, Murder 8, TNT, and Tango and Cash.
How do people use fentanyl?
When prescribed by a physician, fentanyl is often administered via injection, transdermal
patch, or in lozenges.6 However, the fentanyl and fentanyl analogs associated with recent
overdoses are produced in clandestine laboratories.7 This non-pharmaceutical fentanyl is sold in
the following forms: as a powder; spiked on blotter paper; mixed with or substituted for
heroin; or as tablets that mimic other, less potent opioids.8 People can swallow, snort,
or inject fentanyl, or they can put blotter paper in their mouths so that fentanyl is
absorbed through the mucous membrane.
How does fentanyl affect the brain?
Like heroin, morphine, and other opioid drugs, fentanyl works by binding to the body's
opioid receptors, which are found in areas of the brain that control pain and emotions.9
When opioid drugs bind to these receptors, they can drive up dopamine levels in the brain's
reward areas, producing a state of euphoria and relaxation.9 Fentanyl's effects resemble
those of heroin and include euphoria, drowsiness, nausea, confusion, constipation, sedation,
tolerance, addiction, respiratory depression and arrest, unconsciousness, coma, and death.

The high potency of fentanyl greatly increases risk of overdose, especially if a person who
uses drugs is unaware that a powder or pill contains fentanyl
Why is fentanyl dangerous?
Opioid receptors are also found in the areas of the brain that control breathing rate.
High doses of opioids, especially potent opioids such as fentanyl, can cause breathing to stop
completely, which can lead to death.9 The high potency of fentanyl greatly increases
risk of overdose, especially if a person who uses drugs is unaware that a powder or pill
contains fentanyl.6,10 Fentanyl sold on the street can be mixed with heroin or cocaine,
which markedly amplifies its potency and potential dangers.11
The medication naloxone is an opioid receptor antagonist that reverses opioid overdose and
restores normal respiration.
Overdoses of fentanyl should be treated immediately with naloxone and may require higher doses
to successfully reverse the overdose."
