“President Xi and I had a deal whereby China was going to criminalize at the highest level, THE DEATH PENALTY, the manufacturing of Fentanyl. That deal miraculously disappeared with our RIGGED PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2020. Too bad!!! One more thing to add to the Stolen Election List of Disasters!” screamed disgraced former President Trump on Truth Social on Thursday.
This is to our knowledge the second time Trump has made this extremely dub- ah fuck it, we’ll just call it a false claim about such a supposed agreement, the first time coming in a little noticed “Agenda 47” video back on June 1st. Again we have to point out how “miraculously” it came more than two years after his humiliating defeat to Joe Biden in the election, at no point did he ever mention anything like it when, if it were even ten percent true, would’ve been a round-the-clock blockbuster on right wing media and in the Congressional GOP. Biden, ChiComs, and fentanyl in one story is the stuff of MAGA wet dreams and even here in the real world it went nowhere in the last five months since Trump first made it up for one of his deranged video announcements.
Probably because if it did in fact have even the most marginal basis in reality then it’s actually a major failure on Trump’s part because it means he said nothing while Biden helped Xi murder hundreds of thousands of Red Staters since 2021. So by all means he should keep hyping this.
