Promise Kept
Honest delivery — Answer upfront
Headline promises to answer:
"What specific statements did Rick Harrison make about Trump's efforts regarding the fentanyl epidemic?"
Actual answer:
"Drug overdoses kill over 100,000 people a year in this country. It's the equivalent of dirty bombs going off at multiple cities," Harrison told Peter Doocy. "These are weapons of mass destruction that people are trying to bring into this country? I mean if it was sarin gas or a dirty bomb, we'd have no problem bombing it.

⚠Why is this clickbait?
The headline uses emotionally charged language ('deadly fentanyl epidemic', 'terrorist' dealers) and a notable figure (Rick Harrison) to draw attention, but it still conveys the main point of the article regarding his views on the fentanyl crisis and Trump's efforts.
