The Electrically Controlled Pneumatic brake mandate Trump killed because Obama signed it would have prevented this catastrophe…and the people in East Palestine know it.

Voted 72-28% for Donnie Dipshit. They deserve each other.

I get in trouble for this, but I travel through there a lot on trips from Akron, OH to Pittsburgh. There are more Confederate Flags than American Flags, and more Donnie Dipshit flags per capita than anywhere in the country.

It's a Dumbfuckistan, Murika hellscape of racism, misogyny, hatred, ignorance and white supremacy.

They will welcome him like a rock star, despite the fact that his actions directly led to this derailment.

The only recommendation I could make to the minuscule amount of decent human beings that live there is, get out while you still can!

“Real Americans “. Good Christian folks. They’ll never believe how much damage trump has done Yes indeed they’ll embrace their hero and cheer when he says it’s Biden’s fault.

Sick.

Since it’s them who got owned this time, and in a way that boggles the mind, things are different.

Especially if we can get a liberal television reporter to stand up in front of a crowd and ask this question: “President Obama mandated the railroads to install braking systems on their trains that would have kept this from happening in the first place. You overturned this rule. Why did you do that?”

He can get his free TV time on Faux Noise if he wants, but that's it.

This is just a slimy way to get a Chump Rally some free TV time so he can grift on it.
Just see if I'm right - he'll set up a website for donations.

He is not needed there and will be a distraction (a Trump train wreck) demanding attention upon himself.

He will exclaim no such events ever occurred on his watch because he, and he alone, kept all Americans safe from danger. The media that covers his visit will do little to challenge the claim. Free media attention and exposure is all that matters.

I hope they ask him why he reversed the Obama brake rule for toxic trains. Then again the dumb uneducated RepubQcans in Ohio probably think he’s just “one of them”.
