Trump argues he won New Hampshire because it is a 'drug-infested den' quoting : CNN

"I won New Hampshire because New Hampshire is a drug-infested den," he said. Erin Canterbury, a New Hampshire Democrat who had voted for then-candidate Trump in 2016, said she was irate when she heard that Trump called New Hampshire "a drug-infested den." In response to the epidemic, Trump created a White House panel tasked with looking into how the federal government should respond. He later bragged that he won the Granite State because of the opioid epidemic. Trump did, in fact, win the Republican primary in New Hampshire, more than doubling the vote total received by his nearest competitor, Ohio Gov.



Trump argues he won New Hampshire because it is a 'drug-infested den'
"President Trump's statement that New Hampshire is a drug-infested den is more truth than fantasy," he said. But to call it a drug-infested den, that's inconsiderate -- really disgusting actually. One tweet shows the New Hampshire license plate with the state motto of "Live Free or Die" replaced with "Drug-Infested Den." Those show the range of reactions in New Hampshire to President Donald Trump's characterization of the state as a " drug-infested den" while speaking to Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto in January. 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 #newhampshire — Nick Lavallee (@theOtherDude) August 3, 2017Other users posted photos of themselves enjoying the state's mountainous landscapes -- in contrast with the "drug-infested den" label.

Trump called New Hampshire a 'drug-infested den.' Here's what's really going on

Official statistics from New Hampshire shows that in recent years, fentanyl deaths have exploded while heroin mortality has actually declined somewhat. (Amber Ferguson/The Washington Post)"I won in New Hampshire because New Hampshire is a drug-infested den," President Trump told Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto in a phone call in January. The remark came in the course of an exchange in which Trump blamed "drug lords in Mexico" for "sending drugs" to places like New Hampshire. The synthetic opioid fentanyl and its derivatives are now the leading cause of drug overdose deaths in New Hampshire, according to official state statistics. "We are becoming a drug-addicted nation and most the drugs are coming from Mexico or certainly from the southern border," Trump added.
