Former President Donald Trump paid a visit to East Palestine, Ohio on Wednesday, delivering truckloads of bottled water in the aftermath of a train derailment earlier this month that left the small town in shambles.
“President Trump is meeting with the citizens of East Palestine, and he will never forget them and what they are going through. Contrast that with Biden and the federal government, who have failed them from the beginning,” Trump spokesman Steven Cheung told Breitbart News.
According to John Rourke, CEO of Blue Line Moving, which transported the pallets of water to East Palestine, the company moved 13 pallets of water, totaling over 14,000 bottles for the small town.
“Joe Biden/Pete Buttigieg stay away! The real President is here taking care of American Citizens. Make sure those Ukrainian pensions are take care of,” Rourke said.
Trump vowed to stand with the people of East Palestine.
So far, Donald Trump has done more for the people of East Palestine, Ohio than the Biden administration. Just last week, the administration declined a request for federal aid to East Palestine. That was before trump announced that he was going to visit. And that’s when the Biden administration changed their mind and said that they would now give federal aid everything about this administration is political.

Despite the fact that the train disaster occurred nearly three weeks ago, neither President Joe Biden nor US Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg have visited East Palestine.
On February 3, a Norfolk Southern train carrying chemicals, including vinyl chloride, a highly volatile colorless gas, derailed, spilling the chemicals and sparking a fire that sent thick billowing smoke into the sky.
To get rid of toxic chemicals in a controlled environment, cleanup crews ignited five train cars, resulting in a menacing plume of thick smoke resembling a mushroom cloud. Images of the controlled detonation were later shared on social media, causing concern across the country.
As a result of the incident, approximately half of the town’s population was ordered to evacuate. While residents have been told they can return home, many remain concerned and want answers — but Biden and Buttigieg are nowhere to be found.
