Donald Trump goes to East Palestine and it goes really well.
Pete Buttigieg goes to East Palestine and it goes very poorly.
And loose lips sinks ships. The media might have just gotten Donald Trump off the hook.
News
Here is some news:
- Pete Buttigieg decided to show up to East Palestine, Ohio. It’s not going well for him. It looks especially bad because Donald Trump showed up yesterday (more on that later).
- He has been questioned about what took him so long to get there. He refused to answer.

Reporter: "Was it a mistake not to come here sooner?"
Buttigieg: "What I tried to do was balance two things: my desire to be involved and engaged and on the ground, which is how I'm generally wired to act, and my desire to follow the norm." pic.twitter.com/Kjw6QH1IJ5

So this whole thing is not going to work out for Pete Buttplug. It’s not going to work out for Biden if he decides to go.
By the way, they do have an idea on what caused the wreck. They are saying that one of the axels on one of the cars overheated and caught fire. There is video of this, so that was most likely the cause.
Scoring Points
President Trump is scoring points with his base.
According to the Daily Wire:
Former President Donald Trump visited East Palestine, Ohio, on Wednesday afternoon and criticized President Joe Biden over his lack of attention toward the small rust belt community as citizens grapple with the recent train derailment and subsequent chemical fallout.
Local and state authorities previously evacuated all residents within one mile of the derailment and started a controlled burn of industrial chemicals on the vehicle to decrease the risk of an explosion, which could have sent shrapnel throughout the small town. Vinyl chloride, a known human carcinogen used to manufacture PVC, was emitted from five train cars in the form of massive plumes of dark smoke visible throughout eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania.
Trump toured the town alongside Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and criticized his successor during a press conference held with local officials.
This move is in contrast to President Biden, who went to Ukraine and Poland during this mess, Pete Buttplug who finally decided he’s going to show up 20 days after the disaster and FEMA saying they could be of no help to the town. You may remember, fish are dying in the rivers, pets are dying, the water looks infected and people are complaining of having shortness of breath and headaches, which are symptoms of this type of poisoning.
With him, Trump brought tractor trailers filled with water, including the far superior Trump water, and bought all the first responders and people cleaning up the mess McDonald’s. This is good Trump and what got him elected in 2016.
Trump had a message:
“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. The Biden administration should ensure that every family has the option of moving and homes and everything else until this thing is straightened out.”
Trump also had some words for the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA):
“They were intending to do absolutely nothing for you. They could have been here two weeks earlier, at least a week earlier, but they decided to do it this way, and I guess it came from the top.”
This is all a campaign stunt and is theatrics, but these people need to know someone gives a crap about them. Donald Trump does. Donald Trump is a germaphobe. He is putting himself in harm’s way to support these people. The highest official to be in East Palestine was an EPA administrator. That’s it. This is going to strengthen Trump’s position even if most know it is a campaign stunt. I’m not sure how Biden or his administration is going to save face on this one.

Oops
The foreperson for the grand jury used to investigate Donald Trump for election interference seems really excited about her job. She’s going around the country, doing interviews and this is making prosecutors very nervous. She has a pretty big mouth and she is beginning to show just a tad bit of bias.
So the gal is named Emily Kohrs and she did a media tour. Mind you, she’s only the foreperson on a grand jury. That’s nothing. But she is really eating all this up.
We also see what side of the political aisle.
Here she is on CNN:
Some things:
- So a judge removes some testimony, probably because they were illegal, and she thinks she knows better than the judge. That’s not a good thing to hear from a juror.
- That laugh makes her sound nuts.
- She has already said too much.
Here she is in the same interview. This is not going to go well for her on Monday:
Some things:
- She will be sad if nothing happens? That’s not how the legal system works.
- She sounds like she wants something to happen. She sounds biased.
- Too much of her time? What? She had to take a day off from her three-day-a-week job at Starbucks? She wants the former President of the United States prosecuted.
- I don’t even think she understands what he’s being accused of. He can be charged with anything as long as he gets charged? Does she sound serious.
Here’s the last sound bite from MSNBC:
She’s nuts and she just screwed the prosecution’s case. There is no way this is going outside this grand jury. Trump’s lawyers have saved every interview and they will be playing it in front of the judge. The best the prosecution can hope for is the judge will allow them to reconvene another grand jury, which is unlikely.
This whole thing is just going to go away and Trump will win again.
