EAST PALESTINE, Ohio — Former President Donald Trump came to show “love and support” Wednesday for this reeling village near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border, almost three weeks after a catastrophic train derailment and the release of toxic chemicals left residents fearing for their health.
"To the people of East Palestine and to the nearby communities in Ohio and Pennsylvania, we have heard you loud and clear,” Trump, wearing his signature “Make America Great Again” hat, said during brief remarks at the local fire department. “You are not forgotten. We stand with you."
Amid lingering concerns about the town’s drinking water, Trump said he brought thousands of bottles of water and cleaning supplies to donate to residents. And he joined in the growing bipartisan criticism of Norfolk Southern, calling on the railway company to give East Palestine “answers and results.”
