The Washington Post has said that a massive drop in fentanyl seizures at the southern border is "mysterious" and that it is a "more complex" story than one would think after President Donald Trump has made it a point to crack down on border security as well as fentanyl trafficking into the US.
The outlet suggested that the Trump administration's policies, such as threatening tariffs on China as well as Mexico to curb fentanyl, could have little to do with the drop in fentanyl, and claimed, "New data suggest a more complex story."
This year, there has been a marked decrease in fentanyl seizures at the border, with a decrease also being shown before Trump took office.
A White House spokesman said that the drop in the seizures is “thanks to President Trump’s policies empowering law enforcement officials to dismantle drug trafficking networks," but the Post countered this, saying "the decline started before Trump took office in January."

TDS is strong and getting stronger at WaPo.
They can still get all they need coming in through Canaduh.
They're an outlet all right. Cheeky of them.
“Let’s have a meeting about arranging some kind of investigation on the drop of fentanyl seizures.
Our collective minds are so very ‘Boggled’ on this complex topic!!”
Complex = “we don’t want to say that Republican policies work to fix the massive screwups resulting from Democrat policies.”
Inflation is down. That is a more complex story.
DOGE, cuts in regulations and bureaucracy are popular. That is a more complex story.
I’m surprised the WaPo didn’t spin this as an economic downturn caused by Trump.
The person who runs the Washington Post is Hitler and the scum who work there are stupid and or fascists.
What do you need to know beyond that?
That ‘editors’ are on a first name basis with DNC war room ‘distributors of news packets’? That they all knew people who worked in the White House but NEVER realized Biden was unfit to do the job? That they lied about his condition? That they play stenographers to disgruntled liberal FBI and CIA agents - then call it ‘reporting’... that they’re biased and proud of it? Really, we can all guess at why they’re stupid. Let’s not explain the border issue... they wouldn’t understand it anyhow.
Does anyone read the WaPo?“
There is a core group of delusional leftist a-holes who do. It is the CNN/MSNBC demo. They are immune to any truth seeping into their crippled brains.
The Wapo’s next big investigation will be to answer the question we are all waiting to have answered:
Is the moon made of green cheese or not?
The topic was U.S.-Mexico border.
And I said that if fentanyl coming across the Mexican border is coming in smaller amounts, the WaPos can always get it from the fentanyl coming in across the Canadian border.
Sorry this is all coming at once, although it really helps to have it all laid out in one sitting. Not sorry I fell asleep in the recliner. Glad I'd finished my snack first. :^) Had an appointment earlier in the day in the city, and used that as a pretext to do some shopping on a nice quiet Tuesday.
