Eric Trump shared with Laura Ingraham what his father, Donald Trump, plans to do on day one to address the fentanyl crisis and help save American lives.
President Trump intends to take decisive action against China, Mexico, and Canada to combat the fentanyl epidemic, which claims over 100,000 American lives annually. Eric criticized the current administration, saying, “This is an area Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have not addressed in the past four years. Where were they?”
Eric Trump shared a personal and emotional story:
“Laura, I’ve talked about fentanyl every single day on the campaign trail. It’s something that affects me greatly. I have four friends who have lost children because of fentanyl. Yesterday, I took my son and daughter to a Dolphins game, and as they were sitting on my lap, the guy next to me turned around, looked at my son, and said, ‘A couple of months ago, I lost my son. They killed him. They killed him with fentanyl. I lost my little boy. Cherish every single moment that you have.’
He’s literally looking at my son, sitting on my lap at his first NFL game, and it broke my heart.”
Eric then explained his father’s approach:
“When my father sent out that tweet, ‘You want to allow drugs to come through our Southern border? We’re going to tariff you. You want to allow them to come through Canada? We’re going to tariff you. China, if you’re going to allow this stuff to get sold in our country, largely produced in China, we’re going to add another 10 percent to your tariff. We are going to cost your countries, your economies, your businesses billions, hundreds of billions of dollars.’
If you think you’re going to poison Americans, it’s not going to happen. You’re not going to destroy our youth, our society, or our families—it’s going to cost you. I’m going to put an end to it.”
Eric added that he felt a deep sense of pride when his father announced the plan:
“Laura, when my father sent that 20 minutes ago, I literally cheered out loud. There’s nothing more twisted and perverse than what the cartels have done and what China has done.
And you know what? Biden and Harris have been absent. They don’t even talk about it. They haven’t addressed the fentanyl crisis that is killing so many people.”
