Trump Says East Palestine Residents Will Not Be Left Behind


Former President Donald Trump arrived in East Palestine, Ohio on Wednesday where he was greeted by supporters and local officials who continue to deal with the effects of a trail derailment from earlier this month.

Trump took time to sign autographs and chat with locals, while some members of the press including Turning Point’s Savanah Hernandez asked President Trump what his message is to current President Biden would be, to which he said, “get here now.”

Trump was also asked what he would have done as president to help the residents of East Palestine and surrounding areas, to which he said that “Fema would have been here a long time ago.”

In a speech given shortly after, Trump thanked local officials and emergency crews who have helped the community weather the tragedy.

“To the people of East Palestine and nearby communities in Ohio and Pennsylvania, we have told you loud and clear, ‘you are not forgotten.’ We stand with you, pray for you, and we will stand with you in your fight to help answer and the accountability you deserve… will all be out there, very clearly,” said Trump.

He continued, “19 days ago, tragedy struck this wonderful village and rocked the lives of people throughout this area and long beyond this area. It’s been week since Americans have been inspired… watching over the weeks, inspired by your strength and your courage and how you’ve come together to stand up for the families in your area, in this village and beyond,” Trump said, thanking first responders and railroad workers.

“The people of East Palestine are going to be taken care of… When your representatives and all of your politicians get here, including Biden, get back from touring Ukraine, that he’s got some money left over as we’re now at $117 billion, and as you probably know, Europe when you add it all up has added $10 billion. That’s a big difference… They’re at it again, they’re very good negotiators those people in Europe. When you add it all up, it’s about the same size as the United States’ [contributions] the economy of the different European countries, and they’re at a very small number compared to us… That’s a massive difference, it’s a very small fraction of what we’ve put up and it affects them more than us. They have to do what they have to do.”

The Biden regime would go on to blame the train disaster on Trump.
