The Trimbos Institute of Mental Health and Addiction in the Netherlands issued a “Red Alert” warning users about potentially lethal ecstasy pills shaped like the head of former U.S. President Donald Trump. The institute reported that several of these pills have recently been submitted to a network of centers that test drugs for users prior to consumption. The warning explicitly stated, “Absolutely do not use these pills” [1].

The Trimbos Institute published a photograph of the pills, which feature a depiction of Trump’s head on one side and the letters “NL” and “Trump” stamped on the other side, separated by a vertical line. The pills come in different colors, including green and yellow. The institute cautioned that these pills contain a high concentration of PMMA (para-methoxymethamfetamine), a chemical similar to MDMA, the active ingredient in ecstasy. However, PMMA works more slowly than MDMA, which may lead users to take additional doses, believing the initial pill was ineffective, thereby increasing the risk of overdose and potentially fatal overheating [1].
