Prediction:

He will give a good speech. The base with jump up and down, cheer, and rub it in everyones' faces. The others will reluctantly agree it was also a good speech.

Nothing will happen in the end.

Good. Maybe they'll do something radical like knock off that retarded WoD and actually start dealing with the fallout.

Americans, for whatever reason, don't think they have to feel emotional/physical/mental pain. You have doctors that are lobbied too every single day by drug reps pushing drugs for large corporations that donate massive amounts of money to every single politician.

Hopefully he'll say what we've all been thinking for years, that the opioid epidemic was started by the CIA to keep the white man down!

Last week, the President's Commission on Combating Drug Addiction issued a recommendation that the opioid crisis be declared a national emergency.

Report on Whitehouse.gov

Submitted for context.

So basically Trump will use this time to declare victory in a persobal defeat and harp on how he is great. He might even use the word "opioid" during it.

Stand by for media to completely ignore that there's even a problem and try to fact check every word he says instead.

If Teump was smart he would relate building the wall on our Southern border back to the drugs crossing, even more than the humans crossing. Docs write scripts to get people started on opioids and when they can't get enough legally heroin is the next step. Just like ADD meds then meth. Addiction is an unbelievable contributor to all aspects of crime and economic issues.
The border is the biggest source of entry for the illegal stuff. Time to shut it down and build that wall.
The wall detractors cannot fight that arguement.

Is trump afraid he will lose support of his base since trump country is disproportionately affected by opioid addiction?

Want to make a major dent in the opioid crisis?

Get rid of 'patient satisfaction surveys'.

If he doesn't have any direction in this "briefing" and it's just a speech about drugs = bad and look at how great I am, I'll be severely disappointed.

This shite hits close to home for me.

The first step is convincing people Norco and Percocet won't fix their fibromyalgia and "I'm fat" pains.

Good luck with that
