After former president Donald Trump announced his potential visit to the town of East Palestine, Ohio, where a train derailment led to the release of deadly chemicals, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reversed its course.
Moments after he announced his trip to the town, FEMA offered its support to East Palestine.
Tomorrow, we'll supplement federal efforts by deploying a Senior Response Official & a Regional Incident Management Assistance Team to support ongoing operations, including incident coordination & ongoing assessments of potential long term recovery needs.https://t.co/pVLIm5tE3h

However, the agency previously stated that Ohio was “ineligible” to receive assistance.

According to the office of Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R):
The DeWine Administration has been in daily contact with FEMA to discuss the need for federal support, however, FEMA continues to tell Governor DeWine that Ohio is not eligible for assistance at this time. Governor DeWine will continue working with FEMA to determine what assistance can be provided.
On Truth Social, Trump said he got the Biden administration and FEMA to act.
“Biden and FEMA said they would not be sending federal aid to East Palestine. As soon as I announced that I’m going, he announced a team will go. Hopefully, he will also be there. This is good news because we got them to move. The people of East Palestine need help. I’ll see you Wednesday.” he said.
The train derailment in Ohio led to plumes of smoke and polluted waterways. Toxic chemicals were also released into the atmosphere.
Visited a local creek in East Palestine today. These waterways are still very polluted. It’s time for Norfolk Southern to finish the cleanup. Check this video out: pic.twitter.com/4lsHBmrMJj

One of the things that anyone can depend on when it comes to this Democrat Party’s Biden administration is:
That they constantly LIE about EVERYTHING.
Nothing this Democrat Party’s Biden administration says can be trusted!
Just a thought…..
I wonder how fast the Federal response would’ve been if the residents there were 93% black instead of 93% white?……
Quick as hell.. You can bet your last dollar on that.
So Trump shamed FEMA into taking action. Where is Buttgig in all this? Probably at home figuring out how to express breast milk. With this corrupt administration, our own citizens always come last. Probably because there is no kickback to Joe through Hunter
If i had my way, he’d be not just out of that office, BUT JOINING The unemployment line.
With how the left’s whining about all that toxic waste, and such, having to get shipped etc.. HERE IS A GREAT idea.
SHIP IT ALL to the border, right where all the migrants keep crossing!!
