EAST PALESTINE, Ohio — Former President Donald Trump visited East Palestine on Wednesday, where he delivered truckloads of bottled water following a train derailment earlier this month that left the small town in disarray.
“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 spokesperson Steven Cheung told Breitbart News.
John Rourke, the CEO of Blue Line Moving, which transported the pallets of water to East Palestine, told Breitbart News the company moved 13 pallets of water, which comes to 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 told Breitbart News.

“Spending HIS OWN MONEY,...”
Prez Trump has a lot of class, also donated his yearly salary as The Prez, to the needy.
It's quite remarkable, as far as I can tell, that not a single person from the current administration has bothered to visit one of the worst ecological catastrophes in U.S. history.
If I'm wrong, I'll stand corrected but I googled Biden, Kamala, and Monkeypox Pete and I can't see where any of them have visited East Palestine, Ohio since the train derailment.
He lost by 10 million votes in 2020.
Reagan won by 10 million votes.
Facts speak for themselves.
Monkeypox Pete had better bring some thick skin (and possibly some security).
It's going to be ugly.
THIS is what Trump is GREAT AT!! Dissing Ron Desantis makes him look small and petty.
Which is why I will vote for him 3rd time.
Did Trump diss ALL his primary opponents in 2016?
Demographics have changed since Reagan’s time.
What is happening in Ohio is inexcusable.
Trump showed compassion.
Biden said FU Deplorables. (Ummmm i.e. Disposables???}
Well done, President Trump.
This is the Trump that I love.
I’m hoping no one there shows up at all.
Not even to protest.
Not showing up is the best FU they could do.
Just a political stunt./s
“Local citizens won’t be there.”
I pray they don’t. Best way to say FJB.
And is no doubt bringing a small army of security with it...(or whatever that “thing” is ?)
13 pallets is not truckloads.
One truck can hold 26 pallets depending on the commodity’s weight.
Typically 45,000 is the maximum freight hauled because the truck and trailer weigh around 34,000 . The legal maximun TOTAL weight is normally 80,000 pounds.
A full truck could bring 5,000 one gallons jugs of water,maybe less because containers and pallets weight must be considered.
If Trump haf gotten better advice he would have brought a load of water dispensers that use the big jugs,and a load of filled jugs. Then those would be useful in the long term as the big jugs are reusable/refillable.
And the people would have a daily reminder/evidence of help instead of a one shot bunch of disposable bottles to clean up .
Somebody was thinking small.
Still bitter because ¡Jeb! lost?
“Don’t know about CBS, didn’t catch theirs.”
It was the same as the others.
Don’t think he did....only the ones that had a chance of beating him.
