Train Wreck Trump

Train wreck expert Don Jr and other Republicans joined Trump to visit the derailment scene.

His planned appearance near the scene of this month’s toxic derailment has Democrats pointing to his past efforts to roll back train and chemical regulations.

Donald Trump’s visit to the site of a toxic train derailment in Ohio is offering a political opening to battered Biden administration officials — by calling new attention to the former president’s record of rolling back regulations on both rail safety and hazardous chemicals.

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.

Now they will say that Pete Buttigieg is only going because Trump did.

This administration needs to keep pounding on the fact that Trump worked against rail safety.

Also, it seems to be an unknown fact that the EPA has been there all along, during the clean up and investigation. The calls for Buttigieg to go there feel to me like an effort to opportunistically dump some dirt on Pete, who after all has no real reason to go there except to placate people. I think he's learned the hard lesson that photo ops and meaningless visits are what this country wants, as opposed to legislation that will keep us safe.

[N-OS X-tasy!]

I hope they all remember to stay calm and TAKE DEEP BREATHS while at the site.

Really deep breaths.

That's the way the game is played, so play it.

An amazing taste test involving Trump Water: https://twitter.com/i/status/1628503720911855616

In a blind taste test, Sylvester Stallone says, 'I wouldn't wash my socks with that stuff'.
