The opioid crisis is dominating the financial news cycle. Opioid manufacturers, distributors and pharmacies are facing thousands of lawsuits from cities, town, and counties across the country. A bellwether trial involving Cuyahoga and Summit counties in Ohio is set for October.

This is Trump And The GE, otherwise known as This That Heat.
