Pam Bondi Deletes Post Showing Biden's Success
Pam Bondi, who is a big official in the US, shared a chart on social media.
She said it showed that drug overdose deaths went down because of Trump's work.
But people looked at the chart and saw that the deaths actually went down during Biden's time as president.
Pam Bondi quickly took down the post, but not before people took pictures of it.
The chart showed that deaths went up when Trump was president and went down when Biden was.
Some people made fun of Pam Bondi for the mistake.
They said she was trying to make Trump look good, but the chart showed Biden's success.
There are worries that the good progress in reducing deaths might not last because of budget cuts to agencies that help people with drug problems.
Pam Bondi posted a chart on social media claiming it showed Trump's success in reducing drug overdose deaths.
The chart actually showed a decline in overdose deaths during Biden's presidency.
Bondi deleted the post after users pointed out the mistake.
The chart covered overdose deaths from October 2015 to October 2024, showing a peak during Trump's administration and a decline during Biden's term.
Critics, including Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu, mocked the error, highlighting Biden's success.
