The Trump war on fake evil Canadian Fentanyl pushers and a f*cken nuts president, by Hal M. Brown, MSW
Wake up America. It’s clinical. Maybe you don’t need me to explain his various psychiatric diagnoses again and I should just say that he is fucken nuts. I say this as someone who worked as a psychotherapist for 40+ years and diagnosed countless patients.
Is this what a mentally stable person does in the evening?
"Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Rand Paul, also of Kentucky, will hopefully get on the Republican bandwagon, for a change, and fight the Democrats wild and flagrant push to not penalize Canada for the sale, into our Country, of large amounts of Fentanyl, by Tariffing the value of this horrible and deadly drug in order to make it more costly to distribute and buy. They are playing with the lives of the American people, and right into the hands of the Radical Left Democrats and Drug Cartels.
The Senate Bill is just a ploy of the Dems to show and expose the weakness of certain Republicans, namely these four, in that it is not going anywhere because the House will never approve it and I, as your President, will never sign it," he added on Wednesday. Why are they allowing Fentanyl to pour into our Country unchecked, and without penalty. What is wrong with them, other than suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, commonly known as TDS? Who can want this to happen to our beautiful families, and why? To the people of the Great States of Kentucky, Alaska, and Maine, please contact these Senators and get them to FINALLY adhere to Republican Values and Ideals. They have been extremely difficult to deal with and, unbelievably disloyal to hardworking Majority Leader John Thune, and the Republican Party itself. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
The bill he is railing at the senators about would end the national emergency he has used to impose a 25-percent tariff on Canadian imports. The tarrifs are part of what Trump will announce today on what has dubbed shamefully and disgustingly "Liberation Day." I wrote about this yesterday.
Trump manages to implicate Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins,Lisa Murkowski, and Rand Paul as accomplices to the make-believe evil Canadian Fentanyl traffickers just by including them in the same Truth Social rant. Whether deliberate or not it shows how Trump manages to be damn good at manufacturing a kind of guilt by association attack when there’s absolutely no association between these senators and Fentalyl coming in from Canada or anywhere else.
Aside from Trump’s usual raging at anyone who doesn’t kiss his ample royal posterior he may demonstrate his own delusions in posts like this, but he definitely insults the intelligence of the American people (and every Canadian) by trying to sell the idea that many proudly and affectionately call Canucks are evil drug trafficking gangsters.
There’s no doubt that Fentanyl is a drug of abuse and that it kills, however it should go without saying that it is an important part of the doctors arsenal to help patients, many of whom are dying, with pain so excruciating that even morphine doesn’t alleviate it. I know this from personal experience because it was the only medication (don’t call it a drug when it is used properly) which made the last few days of my wife’s life bearable.
Trump has never spent four days sleeping on a cot next to a loved one like I did in the hospital who had a Fentanyl drip going into a vein making it possible for them to say goodby to all of their loved ones. Trump is incapable of empathizing both with these patients and those who love them.
Fentayl isn’t only used with dying patients. Consider this: No Longer a Scourge, Fentanyl Is Now Most-Needed Drug in COVID-19 War.
As far as Trump is concerned he would be thrilled to take credit for totally eliminating the abuse of Fentanyl in the county even if it meant that patients who really needed it couldn’’t get it.
Addendum: I got the idea for this Substack from 'Get on the bandwagon': Trump slams 'unbelievably disloyal' GOP senators in overnight rant in RawStory.
GG: From the comments to that article:
Why is it that NOBODY ever equated Canada with Fentanyl prior to Donald Trump's fever dream obsession?
I think less than 1 percent crosses the Canadian border.
Because the claim is 99.999% bullshit.
Most fentanyl still comes in through our ports, just like most heroin and cocaine. Intermodal shipping with mixed cargo containers is almost custom built to facilitate smuggling.
And, of course, this is just a supply and demand issue. If there wasn't a demand, the supply would dry up. Want to stop fentanyl or heroin or whatever? You stop it at the user level. And that means messy treatment and recovery programs, and all those squishy liberal ideas that have actually worked to reduce rates of drug use over the years.
50+ years of getting completely spanked in the "war on drugs" and these fucking GOPers still can't imagine it as anything but a law enforcement issue.

Fentanyl compared with two less potent pain relievers.
There’s a pain reliever more powerful and dangerous than Fentayl. Most people, me included, never heard of it. It is used to anesthetize elephants.
Even after Canada takes preventative measures against against the ( ridiculously small amount) of Fentanyl crossing the border DumDum still complains and tariffs Canada. Of course it was never about Fentanyl, it's all made up in his puny distorted mind. More illegal guns come across the border into Canada than this drug going out yet we are a problem..
I sympathize with those whom have endured the pain of sitting besides a loved one passing away. In the final days of my mother-in-law at her home my wife and I and a caretaker administered oral drops of Morphine yet it was not enough to overcome the pain she displayed as her life slowly slipped away.
I can show you how to make graphics. One benefit is that when I one uses AI there's no copyright problem. Another is that with some trial and error you can get the expression you want. Here are the six I ended up with today. I used the one in the middle on top. Then I made parts of it transparent. https://bsky.app/profile/halmbrown.bsky.social/post/3lltoh3i7dc2s
