Trump was inaccurately accused by some online, including his own niece, of distributing"poisoned" water from a brand discontinued 13 years ago.Mary Trump, an outspoken critic of her uncle and his political career, echoed these claims during an episode of her podcast series,"I think the difference, the contrast between Biden and Donald could not be more stark," she said.
She continued:"And, you know, you look at President Biden in Poland and Donald...and what President Biden is doing for the environment, and Donald Trump going to a train derailment in Ohio, that his policies were directly responsible for causing while handing out poisoned water because, sorry, folks, if a bottle of water is ten years old and that bottle is plastic, that is probably not something you want to be drinking.
