What @NickKristof won't tell you: "Deaths of Despair" FELL in 2018 — under Trump — for what looks like the first time since 2000. Driven by a drop in drug-related deaths, which seems to have continued into 2019. (Still at a high level, but have to start somewhere–see chart.) https://t.co/6a8V23jjNw
