A Trump exaggeration the media will call a "lie". It is not a lie. It is an exaggeration. There is no evidence of the slightest intent to deceive. He just didn't bother to check exactly what size container of fentanyl it would take to kill everyone in the country. He was making a point.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump made the astonishing claim Monday that a small spoonful of fentanyl can kill everyone in a U.S. state. That’s not close to true.

A teaspoon of illegally made fentanyl could conceivably kill 3,000 people, by one measure. The state with the smallest population, Wyoming, has about 578,000 people. It would take close to 200 teaspoons to kill a population of that size.

TRUMP: “A little tiny spoonful can wipe out a state. It’s hard to believe. It can wipe out an entire state, a spoonful of this stuff.” — remarks at a meeting with governors.
