It is unclear whether Trump was aware that he was praising a program backed by an organization he routinely labeled as nothing more than a corrupt scheme to enrich the Clintons during the 2016 election. Trump's Justice Department launched an investigation last year into allegations of corruption related to the Clinton Foundation.
The President touted the work of Adapt Pharma, a program that makes Narcan -- a type of drug that can save someone who is overdosing on opioids -- more available in colleges and universities.
"Adapt Pharma makes an overdose-reversing drug for opioids, which I've watched and seen work. It's called Narcan. It's actually incredible. Today, we applaud Adapt Pharma's decision to provide free -- free Narcan to all high schools, colleges and universities in America," Trump said.
He then brought Mike Kelly, the president of Adapt Pharma, on stage and heralded him for his "amazing and generous offer."
The program was made possible in 2017 because of a partnership with the Clinton Foundation, according to releases from the pharmaceutical company and the foundation. It was announced at the at the 2017 meeting of the Clinton Health Matters Activation Summit.
"This new program ... is part of an ongoing collaboration between the Clinton Health Matters Initiative (CHMI) and Adapt Pharma," the 2017 release from Adapt Pharma said. "As of today, all Title IV-eligible, degree-granting colleges and universities in the United States can apply to receive up to four free cartons (eight 4mg doses) of NARCAN® Nasal Spray."
