Mar-a-Lago, FL — On Wednesday, President Donald J. Trump visited East Palestine, Ohio to hear from the people of the community and deliver supplies to help those who are still affected by the train derailment. The East Palestine community warmly welcomed President Trump as hundreds of people lined the streets to show their support.

While on the ground in East Palestine, President Trump met with members of the police and fire departments, first responders, local and statewide officials, and residents to pledge his support for the community and to always fight on their behalf.

“We have told you loud and clear, you are not forgotten. You are not forgotten. We stand with you, we pray for you,” President Trump said in a speech at the East Palestine Fire Department.

The visit from President Trump served as a beacon of hope for the East Palestine community as they continue to navigate the aftermath of this disaster.

The Biden administration—which has largely ignored the victims of East Palestine— reversed a decision to withhold a FEMA emergency declaration once President Trump announced his visit to the Ohio town.

Sean Hannity of FOX News highlighted the residents of East Palestine, with one remarking, “honestly, I’m not surprised. [Biden and his administration] haven’t been to the border yet, so why would they come to East Palestine?”

When President Trump announced his trip to Ohio, Joe Biden was touring eastern Europe promising an additional $500 million in aid to Ukraine. The mayor of East Palestine called Biden’s move “the biggest slap in the face.”

“I sincerely hope that when your representatives and all of the politicians get here, including Biden, they get back from touring Ukraine, that he’s got some money left over,” President Trump said in remarks at the East Palestine Fire Department.
