Today, President Trump declared the opioid addiction crisis a national health emergency. It is an unprecedented step. For the previous eight years then president Obama did nothing like it. Basically, Obama ignored the problem. So what was the reaction from prominent Democrats? Senator Blumenthal from my own state of Connecticut said that those who are suffering "deserve better than half measures and empty rhetoric offered seemingly as an afterthought." What a disgraceful statement!
It's amazing. For all those years as Obama did nothing, Blumenthal was content to stand on the sidelines and do nothing. Now that Trump is in office and taking some action, Blumenthal criticizes it as not enough. What a hypocrite. I wonder if he cares even a little bit about all the people actually suffering from opioid addiction and the damage it inflicts on families and individuals.
I have no problem if Blumenthal thinks he has better ideas how to deal with the opioid crisis and puts those ideas forth to the public. Blumenthal, however, does no such thing. He just criticizes everything that Trump does.
