Trump Claims Nearly All Americans Died From Drugs in Bizarre Statement
During a recent exchange, former President Donald Trump claimed that 300 million Americans died from drug overdoses in the past year. This assertion is demonstrably false, as official data from the CDC indicates that drug overdose deaths were closer to 75,000 in the 12 months ending March 2025. Trump’s exaggerated figure vastly surpasses even global drug-related deaths reported by the WHO. This is not the first time Trump has misrepresented drug death statistics, which has drawn criticism and mockery.
