President Donald Trump is tapping GOP New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to lead the administration’s efforts to combat rampant opioid addiction and heroin abuse nationwide.
Christie’s position is reportedly part of the White House Office of American Innovation, a new initiative led by Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner that is being described as a “SWAT team” of business leaders that will tackle a range of government failings. An anonymous White House spokesman said Monday the announcement is expected this week, after The Washington Post broke the development Sunday evening, reports The Associated Press.

Ping...
Not donut addiction?
Your link doesn’t go to the article.
Great. Now it will be even harder for chronic pain sufferers to get pain meds.
Ha. First thing that came to mind...
Krispy Kreme.
An anonymous White House spokesman said Monday the announcement is expected this week, after The Washington Post broke the development Sunday evening, reports The Associated Press.

This is the real reason I posted this...I think ‘fake news’ ‘fake people’....
Strange aside: Kushner hates Christy for prosecuting and convicting his old man. Christy better watch his back.
Yeah, I totally thought the epidemic in question was going to be “obesity”, too, and that Christie would lead by example by getting himself in shape. Maybe with daily status updates on Twitter or something.
Yes...very strange pairing
Opioid, heroin and food addiction. Did I get that right?
Oh good. Now we get to watch government solve people’s problems for them. It is wonderful that the government is not only compassionate, but so darn effective, that this won’t cause more problems than it solves.
Sadly, it often seems that the fact that that is sarcasm is lost on conservatives (or many of them), who see no problems here. If conservatives are going to be this stupid, then who in the world are going to be the adults in the room?
Heroin = under the table government funding.
Christy was an excellent prosecutor. That is his strength.
Don’t believe it. Christie would betray/undermine/sabotage Team Trump through corruption/incompetence/ and his delusional political aspirations.
Remember the Christie for VP hoax? MAGA!
[Great. Now it will be even harder for chronic pain sufferers to get pain meds.]
Yup. Thanks to the meth heads buying up all the decongestants, I now have to show ID to buy pseudoephedrine.
I can only imagine the hoops pain sufferers will have to go through thanks to these idiots.
That was uncalled for.
Great. Now it will be even harder for chronic pain sufferers to get pain meds.”
What is “harder” than getting legitimate prescriptions filled, by a reputable doctor?
That is the legal way to go.
The illegal system which Christie has been appointed to address, are illegal sources of prescription drugs, and heroin.
Heroin is said to be cheaper and easier to obtain, than prescription drugs.
I figured it would be the office if overeating
Move to Florida. Dics there give em out like candy
