EAST PALESTINE, Ohio — Former President Donald Trump bought food for the police department, fire department, as well as everyone who was in an East Palestine McDonald’s on Wednesday after he delivered remarks at the town’s fire station nearby.
“So is everybody willing to accept free food from Trump?” the 45th president asked upon walking into the McDonald’s off Market Street in East Palestine, Ohio.
“We’re going to take care of the fire department, we’re going to take care of the police department, plus the people that are in here. They’re going to get a nice, free meal,” Trump was heard telling the McDonald’s cashier.

How long until the demo-commies try to indict President Trump, claiming he was bribing those police officers in East Palestine?
Trump is a leader. He comes in and immediately you know he is in charge and will get things done. He is an Alpha. The Man in charge.
JoeTard would mumble through a prepared speech, get the photo op, crap his pants and leave.
NY Times headline: “Donald Trump Attempts to Kill First Responders” sub headline, “Buys Police and Fireman Unhealthy Lunch”
Was channel surfing last night and saw FauxNews showing Pres. Trump at McDonalds - they reported that he brought Trump Water to the town and handed out MAGA hats at McDonalds. Nothing about buying dinner for Firemen and others.
I need to take FauxNews off my channel guide.
Oh no, an unhealthy lunch. Vegans and morons (but I’m repeating myself 🤓) demand that Trump be arrested!! 🤓
