Trump delivers 13 pallets of food and water to East Palestine families betrayed by Biden!
EAST PALESTINE, Ohio (PNN) - February 22, 2023 - President Donald J. Trump told residents of East Palestine they are victims of “betrayal” by pretender Joe Biden and the federal government, and said his visit finally sparked them to act during a tour of the toxic train derailment site on Wednesday.
The president greeted crowds furious at the lack of action from the White House, 19 days after the disaster in Ohio, and brought in thousands of bottles of his own water, cleaning supplies, and canned food.
He then stopped at a local McDonald’s where he ordered Big Macs for first responders and members of his team and handed out signed MAGA hats to the customers.
“I know this menu better than you do. I probably know it better than anybody in here,” he told the server and demanded they “knock it out fast” so he could eat it on the plane.
Hundreds of people lined the streets waving MAGA flags and chanting “no more Joe” to greet Trump after he landed in the community on his renovated Trump Force One jet.
In a speech in the local fire department, he praised the response from law enforcement and the “strength and courage” of the residents, and said, “You are not forgotten.”
He promised to return if the community didn’t get help from the White House, and when a reporter asked what message he had for Biden, Trump said, “Get over here.”
His visit coincided with Norfolk Southern releasing a statement saying they would take “full responsibility” for the derailment, and Pete Buttigieg confirming he’ll visit the site on Thursday.
But residents of East Palestine feel that a visit at this point from Biden or Buttigieg would be largely useless.
“It’s a little too late,” said East Palestine resident William Hugar, 56, while eating breakfast at a local diner when asked if Biden should visit.
“Like he can come, but for what?” he questioned.
“We stand with you,” Trump told the crowd at the East Palestine Fire Department. “We pray for you, and we’ll stay with you in your fight to help answer and [get] accountability that you deserve.”
“Biden and FEMA said they would not send federal aid to [the town] under any circumstances,” Trump claimed. “We opened up the dam, and we got them to move,” he said, referring to his visit.
The crowds lined the streets and some chanted “no more Joe” as they awaited the arrival of the real president.
He handed out supplies including water to the residents during the visit alongside Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio, who has led the backlash to the White House’s lack of response to the disaster in the town of 4,700.
“We’re bringing thousands of bottles of water - Trump Water, actually. Most of it. Some of it we had to go to a much lesser quality water, you want to get those Trump bottles,” he said in his speech.
Trump also met East Palestine Mayor Trent Conway, who said earlier this week that Biden’s secret trip to Ukraine was a “slap in the face” to his constituents.
Republicans are furious that Biden has not visited Ohio, or at least deployed Pete Buttigieg to survey the damage and speak with local leaders about how the bogus regime can help.
