Concord, N.H. - The Washington Post reports that, on a call with the Mexican President, the President of the United States, Donald Trump said that he "won New Hampshire because it's a drug infested den." New Hampshire was ranked number one in the country for economic opportunity and number two overall in the country by US News. The Annie E. Casey Foundation ranks New Hampshire the best state in the US to raise children. Trump didn't win New Hampshire, losing it by 2,732 votes in the general election to Hillary Clinton. NHDP Chair Ray Buckley issued the following statement: "Governor Sununu must immediately and fiercely condemn President Trump's comments. It's never a guarantee that Governor Sununu will disagree with Trump. On so many issues, Sununu and Trump have been in lockstep, from the Muslim Ban to Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accords to their matching lies about voter fraud. Rather than name-call, President Trump should deliver proper aid to combat the opioid crisis. He hasn't, instead slashing funds for recovery, treatment, and combatting the inflow of opioids. Sununu said he was 'incredibly encouraged' by Trump's budget. Let's hear Sununu and Republican leaders across the state put politics aside and defend New Hampshire. Comments like this could harm New Hampshire's ability to attract business and tourism."
