Fact CheckChart Does NOT Show Drug Overdose Deaths 'Dropped Off A Cliff' in 2025 Under Trump It Was Biden in '24
"Does a medical study chart show that drug overdose deaths in the United States sharply declined in 2025 under President Trump? No, that's not true: The chart is based on a medical study published in June 2025 that looked at drug death statistics in the decade ending in October 2024, which was three months before Trump returned to the presidency. Researchers measured the sharp decline in drug deaths starting in mid-2023, during the Biden presidency.
The claim appeared in a post (archived here) published by the @overton_news account on X on January 1, 2026. The caption introducing a clip of a Joe Rogan podcast read:
Joe Rogan just said the quiet part out loud about Trump's war on drugs and it completely shatters the media's narrative.
Overdose deaths are COLLAPSING nationwide and Rogan says it's not an accident."
