Q: “Do you think Donald Trump is a personally dangerous person?” Amy Dorris: “Absolutely, I spent four days with him…This is a man who doesn't take no for an answer.”
Jamie Puerta, a US Marine vet who lost his son to fentanyl poisoning, used to believe addicts could just pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Today, his work with @stoptheVOID is all about compassion for those suffering with addiction.
Jaime Puerta — a grieving father and president of @stoptheVOID — spoke with me about why he supports the HALT Fentanyl Act, which President Trump is expected to sign later today...
