Trump receives HERO'S WELCOME in East Palestine. READ:
The trip is one of his first major out-of-state forays since announcing his 2024 presidential campaign in November 2022.Trump won Columbiana County, where East Palestine is located, with more than 70% of the vote in the 2020 general election, yet he currently trails Gov. Ron DeSantis in numerous head-to-head Republican primary polls, even though DeSantis has yet to announce his own 2024 candidacy. Trump consistently polls as the top Republican in polls assessing a crowded primary field.

Furthermore, he explained that"most of" the thousands of bottles of water were Trump-branded, sourced from his various hotels in recent days. However, numerous fact-checkers marked those posts as misleading. The braking rule would not have applied to the East Palestine train, as the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration excluded vinyl chlorine from its list of 70 components designating high-hazard flammable train status, even though Trump did take significant action to deregulate the industry, overturning numerous labor safety-oriented rules in the process.
