Residents of East Palestine, Ohio, surrounded former President Donald Trump for autographs even though Trump repealed the rules that led to the Norfolk Southern train derailment chemical accident on Feb. 3, notes POLITICO:
Trump’s administration withdrew an Obama-era proposal to require faster brakes on trains carrying highly flammable materials, ended regular rail safety audits of railroads, and mothballed a pending rule requiring freight trains to have at least two crew members. He also placed a veteran of the chemical industry in charge of the Environmental Protection Agency’s chemical safety office, where she made industry-friendly changes to how the agency studied health risks.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) praised Trump on Twitter for giving residents expired water.
President Trump visits the people of East Palestine, Ohio and brings them water & supplies while Joe Biden only cares about pushing more war and US money in Ukraine.
