5 Reasons To Doubt Trump’s Boast About Bringing Down Fentanyl Smuggling

Jacob Sullum – Reason

Feb 24, 2026

“The flow of deadly fentanyl across our border is down by a record 56 percent in one year,” President Donald Trump bragged during his State of the Union address on Tuesday night. That claim is puzzling for several reasons.

The Oak Bay Starfish Take/Fantasy Newspeople May Ask

Has the removal of any cartel boss ever created any shortage of cartel product anywhere in the US?

If Kristi Noem has sealed US borders why would suspected drug trafficking boats be a problem?

Since the Vietnam-Style Drug Boat Body Count has kept cartel drugs out, are Seattle area drug addicts having any problem finding their cartel product of choice?

Has any US community announced that first responders are finding less need for Narcan, buprenorphine, Naloxone, fentanyl test strips, or any similar product used in overdose response situations?

Is there any possibility that any DEA office or DEA budget will be downsized due to the success of all US Dept. of Homeland Security/Dept. of War efforts in recent months?

The US Dept. of Homeland Security was established in 2002. This giant federal agency now has more than two decades of experience and lessons learned in working to prevent cartel product from entering the US.

More overdose deaths now, or before DHS?

Has any community anywhere in the US downsized or shut down any local drug task force, or narcotics enforcement team due to the success of Dept. of War strikes on narcoterrorist drug boats, ICE crackdowns and designating cartels as terrorist organizations?

Any questions from newspeople?

Just Ask The DEA About Sealed Borders

Made for TV DEA spokesperson lets us know what to think.

Newspeople play along by not asking questions:

Under Kristi Noem

Cartels move product into all 50 states.

DEA High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas:

“…HIDTA-designated counties are located in 50 states…”

Welcome Home Troops. Thanks for doing time/risking your ass in Iraq and Afghanistan, working to keep a post 911 USA safe & secure.

Don’t worry-The Super Bowl and public affairs will be safe:

Welcome Home Troops

Common flashlight batteries are now locked up like diamond jewelry:

Kristi Noem is sealing off the border. Any day now, cartel drugs will no longer be available anywhere in WA.

People will no longer need cash to support a drug habit. There will be no more need to steal, and we can all go back to how things were in the last century.

Back to a time before the US Dept. of Homeland Security was established in 2002. This giant federal agency now has more than two decades of experience and lessons learned in working to prevent cartel product from entering the US.

More overdose deaths now, or before DHS?

We’re not impressed.

Credibility squandered, enthusiasm dried up.

Don’t lie to people and maybe they would be more patriotic.

Some version of REAL ID has been required at border crossings and ports of entry since 2009.

More cartel drug overdose deaths now, or before REAL ID?

Any questions from newspeople?

Pentagon & REAL ID

Why It Matters

Americans were told that they faced a life and death situation after 911. If certain actions were not taken, terrorists could come to America to disrupt our way of life and attempt another 911.

If all this was a life and death situation that required sending the troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, wouldn’t it be important to ask a few public policy questions about what was going on?

Newspeople have a long history of not asking questions in this area.
