Mar-a-Lago, FL— On Wednesday, President Donald J. Trump visited East Palestine, Ohio to hear from the people of the community and deliver supplies to help those who are still affected by the train derailment. The East Palestine community warmly welcomed President Trump as hundreds of people lined the streets to show their support.
President Trump met with local officials and residents from East Palestine.
While on the ground in East Palestine, President Trump met with members of the police and fire departments, first responders, local and statewide officials, and residents to pledge his support for the community and to always fight on their behalf.
“We have told you loud and clear, you are not forgotten. You are not forgotten. We stand with you, we pray for you,” President Trump said in a speech at the East Palestine Fire Department.

U.S. Senator J.D. Vance said in his speech: “President Trump, thanks so much for coming and shining a light on this community. We can't forget about the people of East Palestine. We need to finish the clean-up effort. That's the most important thing.”
After meeting with local officials, President Trump treated first responders to lunch at the local McDonald’s.

The East Palestine McDonald’s franchise owner Steve Telischak praised President Trump for his “uplifting” visit.
The visit from President Trump served as a beacon of hope for the East Palestine community as they continue to navigate the aftermath of this disaster.
The Biden administration—which has largely ignored the victims of East Palestine—reversed a decision to withhold a FEMA emergency declaration once President Trump announced his visit to the Ohio town.
Sean Hannity of FOX News highlighted the residents of East Palestine, with one remarking, “honestly, I'm not surprised. [Biden and his administration] haven't been to the border yet, so why would they come to East Palestine?"
When President Trump announced his trip to Ohio, Joe Biden was touring eastern Europe promising an additional $500 million in aid to Ukraine. The mayor of East Palestine called Biden’s move “the biggest slap in the face.”
“I sincerely hope that when your representatives and all of the politicians get here, including Biden, they get back from touring Ukraine, that he’s got some money left over,” President Trump said in remarks at the East Palestine Fire Department.

FOX News’ Laura Ingraham spoke with an East Palestine couple who said President Trump’s visit “definitely helped lift spirits” of residents.
Tucker Carlson highlighted the efforts of Blue Line Moving’s John Rourke to partner with President Trump to deliver bottled water to the community.
Hopefully in 2024 people vote for what they do, not what they say ...
Largely ignored by the Mainstream Media...
God bless Donald Trump.
Private help to the afflicted is more than welcome.
Government “help” is another story as Reagan understood very well:
“The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the Government, and I’m here to help.”
When I hear from someone in government say, “We will not forget you...” I find myself saying, “I wish you would forget us and leave us alone and free to live our lives as we see fit.”
And the less government, the more charitable giving and care which is more than welcome and wonderful.
Perhaps someone from the Trump Organization is reading this: Here in the Central Valley of CA, especially near the town of Planada and surrounding - FEMA has been only assisting the Illegal Immigrant Population - not the Citizens that have lost property also. My Church is stepping up to help - but we need help from the outside too,
I don’t know if this is accurate, but it would be great if it is:
