Former Fox News Host Eric Bolling Meets With Trump Over Opioid Epidemic
Hollywood Reporter, Jan 24, 2018, Jeremy Barr

On Tuesday afternoon, former Fox News host Eric Bolling met in the White House with President Trump to discuss the opioid epidemic, an issue that has taken on a personal resonance for him since the passing of his only son from an accidental overdose in early September.

Bolling tells The Hollywood Reporter that he had a lengthy conversation with the president about the issue, which he said he's discussed on phone calls and "several" previous visits with Trump in the White House. He also met with counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway, who has been tapped to lead the White House's response to the epidemic.

“I have offered him 100 percent of my availability, whatever he needs me to do,” Bolling said last week. After his Tuesday meeting, Bolling said, “They’re going to be using me to help develop some of these awareness initiatives.”

Bolling says that Trump has called him “more times than you can count on one hand” and has shown him “compassion and empathy” since the death of his son, 19-year-old Eric Chase, from an overdose stemming from his ingestion of a pill laced with fentanyl. “He’s been amazing,” he says of Trump.

Why, do you think this is funny?

Bolling is out of a job.  Perhaps he can replace the horribly unqualified 24 year old Deputy at ONDCP to address the opioid issue.

More likely will be the fit the media will have if Trump kindly offers this poor guy a job.

Some in Virginia are referring to Medicaid Expansion as Opioid Expansion.
