Trump Administration Revives D.A.R.E. with Hunter Biden as National Spokesperson

The Trump administration has announced a bold overhaul of the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program, a 1980s initiative designed to deter youth drug use.


In a surprising move, President Donald Trump has named Hunter Biden, son of former President Joe Biden, as the program’s national spokesperson.


The decision marks a shift from the program’s traditional approach, which relied on law enforcement officers delivering anti-drug messages in schools.


Under the revamped program, Biden will be escorted by law enforcement officials to classrooms across the country to share his personal experiences with substance abuse. The administration believes that exposing students to Biden’s story and demeanor will serve as a powerful deterrent.

A White House spokesperson stated that the initiative aims to show the real-life consequences of drug use through a high-profile figure.


Biden, who has publicly acknowledged past struggles with addiction and made national news when he accidentally dropped his cocaine at the White House, is expected to provide a candid account to students.


“This is a tremendous opportunity to reach the youth,” Trump said at a press conference. “Hunter’s going to go in there, tell his story, and kids will see exactly what drugs do. They’ll be scared straight, believe me.”


Supporters of Biden's appointment argue that his openness about his challenges could resonate with students, while critics question the appropriateness of placing a recovering addict in front of impressionable children.


Biden, however, appears enthusiastic about the role. Sources close to the announcement described him as visibly animated during planning meetings, pacing energetically and expressing eagerness to begin.


“I’m ready to make a difference,” Biden said in a statement. “Kids need to hear the truth, and I’m here to give it to them straight!”

Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates that opioid overdoses among teens have risen in recent years, prompting calls for innovative prevention strategies.


The administration’s choice to spotlight Biden aligns with Trump’s preference for unconventional solutions, though some educators have expressed concerns about the program’s execution.


“This is an unusual approach,” said Margaret Thompson, a high school principal in Ohio. “We want to protect our students, not invite pedophile drug addicts to spend time with them.”


The White House has defended the initiative, emphasizing that Biden’s involvement is voluntary and closely supervised.


Officials also noted that the program will include follow-up sessions with counselors to ensure students process the presentations appropriately.
