Trump Will Be In East Palestine OH Today....And Biden Hasn't Bothered To Help Them One Bit

[Ralph Norton]

What I find disheartening is a clown exploiting a tragedy to win political points.

Or maybe he was just showing them that the rest of the country is aware of what they are going through and they are not forgotten?

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

So you admit that trump was wrong every time when he didn't show up to the site of previous derailments while he was the actual POTUS.

Excuses in 3......2......1.......go.

This was a major derailment that caused environmental damage along with medical problems of the people that live there. Fox was interviewing one guy (28 years old) that had to cough every ten seconds to get through the interview. It was your very own Buddyjiz that stated there are a thousand derailments every year. A President can't go to every one of them.

Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump doesn't work for you in this debate; not that it has in every other debate where the left are constantly blaming him for Dementia's F-ups, but the most important thing is how an administration responds to an emergency situation. This administration was selected because they are a bunch of flakes and weirdos not qualified to do the job.

What has Buddyjiz done since being transportation secretary? He's taken a hell of a lot of personal time, that's for sure. He was hired to be a mouthpiece for racial and sexual equality. Well what good did racial and sexual equality do us in this situation? Nothing. That's not the job of a transportation secretary. Two and a half weeks to get to Palestine, and in a younger day, I could walk from my house to the wreckage faster than that.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

And trump showed up for just that reason....... Political points.

How many derailments were there when trump was the actual POTUS, and how many of those did he show up to.

The answer is: He showed up for ZERO while he was POTUS.

But this is different, right Ray?

Yes, very different. Trump showed up to shame this administration into paying attention to this matter because they weren't doing it on their own. The election is almost two years away so it had nothing to do with political points. The town has 75% registered Republicans in it. It's population is 4,700 people, like that would swing an election of some sorts.

This was a major derailment

SO was the one in DuPont, WA.

People on the train actually died, and several train cars landed on vehicles on I-5.
Hundreds were injured.
Interstate was shut down.

No One expected or wanted trump to visit, but I know his 'tweets' offering thoughts and prayers was all he offered.

You will defend trump at all costs.

What has Buddyjiz done

Wow Ray, just WOW.

Okay, so what would Trump have accomplished by going there? Were people within miles of the derailment in potential danger? Was their water contaminated and fish all die? Did the derailment cause the feds to light anything on fire to produce a chemical agent we used in WWI? Did people have to move from their homes to try and get away from potential harm with no place for some of them to go? Were they still able to get a glass of water out of their kitchen sink in confidence it was safe?

Excuses for trump.
Always excuses.

Not excuses at all. But you're comparing a bicycle accident to a 10 car pileup on the highway.

 

[Delldude]

This one.
And all trump did is 'tweet' twice with thoughts and prayers and about his 'soon to be' infrastructure plan. What a joke.

2017 Washington train derailment - Wikipedia

Response[edit]​

Within hours of the derailment, Governor Jay Inslee declared a state of emergency and activated the Washington Military Department's emergency operations center at Camp Murray, adjacent to JBLM, to coordinate the multi-agency response to the incident.[30][48]

A civilian support and reunification center was set up at DuPont City Hall.[49] The Bloodworks Northwest blood bank called for donors after the crash.[50]

President Donald Trump said on Twitter a few hours after the accident that the derailment shows that his "soon to be submitted infrastructure plan must be passed quickly." He said "several trillion dollars" were spent in the Middle East while the transport infrastructure "crumble". A second tweet said his "thoughts and prayers are with everyone", and he thanked first responders.[51] The Associated Press and The New York Times reports of Trump's tweets said the accident had occurred on newly constructed track that was part of a recently upgraded line.[18][52] The New York Times added that this project was part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, an act signed by President Barack Obama that aimed to address infrastructure shortfalls.[18]

The New York Times editorial board said that the derailment is symptomatic of the Federal Government's failure to invest in infrastructure. It said that despite Trump seemingly acknowledging the problem, his administration's $630 million budget cuts to Amtrak, and a proposed plan to shift infrastructure costs down to state and local governments, would only serve to aggravate the problem.[53]

Amtrak fired the train's engineer, Steven J. Brown, for violating safety rules; however, Brown subsequently filed suit against Amtrak for his injuries, with Amtrak settling his claims.[54] (See, Litigation, below.)

Your link:

The National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB) final report said regional transit authority Sound Transit failed to take steps to mitigate a curve at the accident location, and inadequately trained the train engineer.

Goes 50 mph over speed limit and it's Trumps fault?

Tell that to the 3 People that Died and the scores of others that were injured.
Article says at least 50 were seen at the Local Hospitals.

That still doesn't negate that there was nothing the President could do about it. Here Biden should have come down, talk to our state agencies, talk with the people about their future concerns, attend their town meeting, see what he could possibly do to help. Trump couldn't do that with the train accident you are bringing up. It was an accident and that's all there was to it. What's happening here is totally different.

 

[Billo_Really]

No, he's supporting Ukrainians and ignoring Americans. Otherwise he would be in Palestine to assess what he can do for our people.

Like throw them towels from a pickup?

Even if he did that, it's ten times more than Dementia did for them. Yesterday it was announced he's not even going to show up.

This is just a way for you to Bash Biden. It's not like you really care for the people of Palestine?

Apparently you don't by making the comment about Trump throwing out towels. He bought lunch for the first responders, he brought bottled water for the citizens there that were concerned about their tap water. Of course I bash Biden and so did the people in the town of East Palestine and rightfully so. Dementia prioritized the people of Ukraine over the people of the United States. I would say that gives me plenty of right to bash him.

How many caused this kind of disaster failed “teacher”? Epic fail of a deflection attempt.

Our Governor is worthless. He just does whatever the feds tell him to do. He's nothing but a RINO as demonstrated during the covid crisis. He's hardly any Republican at all.

In other words he isn't a Trump Humper.
