In the midst of the dangerous situation ongoing in East Palestine, Ohio, where over 50 train carts carrying multiple different cancerous and toxic chemicals derailed and a fire was set to them to attempt a “controlled burn,” despite being in a residential area, former-President Donald Trump announced that he will be visiting the area – something President Biden has yet to do.
Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) took to his Twitter account, saying:
Breaking News: Trump will visit East Palestine, Ohio next week. If our “leaders” are too afraid to actually lead real leaders will step up and fill the void.

The Biden administration has been slow to react to the situation, as both Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and President Biden waited 13 days to even mention the ongoing dangerous situation.
At this point, FEMA aid has been turned down for East Palestine, Ohio, and many are taking notice that the Biden administration typically lacks hesitancy when giving aid elsewhere, including California and countless billions to Ukraine.
