Trump Hit With Backlash On East Palestine Visit: " He Should Be Apologizing "

[marvin martian]

They're desperately trying to set the narrative that TRUMP! caused this particular crash for two reasons:

1. They want to deflect any and all criticism of Quid Pro's handling of the situation away from him.
2. They want to inflict any political damage they can on TRUMP! to prevent him from winning again in '24 and causing their heads to explode.

Even CNN has debunked the claim that Trump's policies had anything to do with this disaster. The Biden regime tried blaming Trump and no one is buying it.

This disaster, and the government's total lack of a competent response to it, will be Biden's hurricane Katrina.

Not that anyone will really care but just read that the operators warned of an overheated axel moments before the crash.

Tree-huggers would disagree.
How much of the wildlife has been obliterated because of this massive screw-up?
Who's gonna replace all of the dead pets?
Who's gonna pay all of the medical bills when these people start dying from cancer and everything else that goes with repeated exposure to toxic chemicals?

Come on....you are starting to sound like Archie Bunker.

No one dead. no one injured. Private rail. Private company. Safety rules repealed by Trump who bragged about it. Republican governor turned down aid.
There's already been at least another derailment in Nebraska.

Why did the Traitor relax rail safety standards? What happened in East Palestine is the direct result of what the Traitor did. You MAGA MAGGOT'S cheered him on when he did and now you are jumping on Biden.

President Biden declared East Palestine a Federal Disaster Area.

The Biden Administration has responded to East Palestine. The Traitor caused this disaster.

So many uninformed posters are experts on everything in the universe and it's a miracle that their pointy little heads don't explode what with all that information they possess.

First of all, Trump's brake deregulation didn't cause a derailment; a broken axle caused it. Security cameras showed the white-hot wheels glowing as the train moved through the town. Videos posted on this board showed the wheels that were affected.

Trump was correct to veto the rule of special brakes on All railroad cars instead of just cars carrying hazardous material. It would have cost the railroads hundreds of billions, possibly trillions to put special brakes on every car in the inventory. Hell, the railroads can't even replace the cars taken out of service. Here's some info to back it up.

Why Railroads Can’t Keep Enough Boxcars in Service​

Aging symbol of U.S. economic might is being scrapped faster than replacements are built​

A shrinking supply of boxcars—once the ubiquitous symbols of U.S. railroads and a rolling bellwether for the economy—is causing a freight-hauling crunch for industries that continue to use them.

The number of boxcars in service in North America fell by 41% in the past decade to slightly less than 125,000 last year as 101,600 cars were scrapped and only about 13,800 replacement were added. That downsizing accelerated a decadeslong shift by railroads to more specialized railcars and intermodal carriers that allow shipping containers to hop from trucks to trains.

While the transition has worked fine for many shippers, paper manufacturers, lumber producers and other companies that rely heavily on boxcars to protect and move heavy shipments say the fleet has declined so much that they’re struggling with a boxcar shortage.
Paper and building products maker Georgia-Pacific LLC. has had to periodically slow production at some paper mills, and idled one mill for a short time recently when it couldn’t obtain boxcars to move its paper. The paper industry accounted for half of the 1.25 million boxcar loads in North America last year.

Why Railroads Can’t Keep Enough Boxcars in Service

A shrinking supply of that once-ubiquitous symbol of U.S. economic might, the railroad boxcar, is creating problems for paper goods and other shippers who can’t find enough cars.

Yet we will see increasingly strident claims that it's all TRUMP!'s fault until the next disaster. Agreed that this will be Quid Pro's Katrina.

PLease research properly: Katrina killed 1,833 including one of my few relatives. It effectively wiped out most of New Orleans, and caused billions in devastation in Mississippi.

 

[ThisIsMe]

So, now, where was the Facebook people censoring and putting captions on people posts claiming that trump was to blame, as disinformation? Was YouTube taking down videos of people claiming this was trumps fault, citing disinformation?

The left ran with that narrative without actually knowing what the truth was. Why were those people not shut down and labeled as spreaders of disinformation ?

You can pretend it doesn't, but the campaign ad writes itself. TRUMP! at the scene, bringing help while Tater is 5,000 miles away, meandering around and doesn't say a word.

He brought help? How? Did he bring some paper towels like he did before?

Again, doesn't matter. He could have passed out virtually anything that people need when disaster strikes and he would look better in a campaign ad than Quid Pro Tater did stumbling around Ukraine.

Get use to saying "President Trump" again.....

 

[Esdraelon]

The Traitor relaxed rail safety standards that's how.

The current head of the NTSB has debunked that lie. Yes, he did reverse Obama's new regulations but even if that regulation had been in effect it would NOT HAVE AFFECTED this disaster.

That is the truth, whether you choose to acknowledge it or not. That rule was for trains that were primarily composed of flammable/explosive cargoes. This one only had 3 cars of such materials and would not have been required to have the electric braking system. So... if you keep repeating that story, you out yourself as a political hack and intentional liar.

 

[Frankenstein]

Don't know, but heard he is bringing you tissues, and feminine products

 

[Frankenstein]

There have been no dead or injured. its a nonissue.

I saw video of a little girls hands with rash on them, screw you and the horse you rode in on.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

But as critics noted beforehand, the Trump administration's gutting of train safety rules at the behest of railroad industry lobbyists was instrumental in creating the conditions for the derailment and ensuing chemical spill and burn off, which has provoked fears of groundwater contamination and air pollution.

Where is the evidence of this? The "critics" have been opportunist left wing politicians and pundits. To my knowledge there has been no official blame attributed to how this happened other than it simply being an accident that may or may not have been prevented.
