Being heard and lied to is still better for a lot of people than not being heard at all.

Whatever Trump has said in passing (because he doesn't actually care) about the opioid crisis rings hollow because he doesn't actually have compassion or empathy.
His genuine concern is reserved for himself, his own, his presidency, his legacy, and perhaps his percentile of the working class population.
If people think they're being heard and considered, it was only going to be for the span of his campaign.
He doesn't actually take the actions necessary to make a difference (just the demolition work on the previous presidency). At least Biden's camp might take action on some of those things over the term, including a real health care plan. Unlike the imaginary one Trump was promising that he couldn't share any details of.
