A senior official in the incoming Trump administration says the president’s visit to East Palestine, Ohio, after a train derailment and toxic chemical spill set him on the path to victory in the 2024 election.
That’s an interesting discussion. Millions of Americans watched Trump react quickly while Joe Biden ignored the incident and those affected. Pete Buttigieg showed up after it started to become clear that the Biden administration didn’t care.
The people of East Palestine and the town’s mayor were very pleased with President Trump’s visit. It was clear that Trump was important.

Trump official reveals visit that sets ‘trajectory’ for election victory
A Team Trump official revealed the moment that “put the campaign on track for victory.” That was the day President-elect Donald Trump arrived in Columbiana County, Ohio, to investigate the East Palestine train derailment.
“The ripples from that day don’t get enough attention,” said White House communications director-designate Stephen Chan, who retweeted an op-ed on X (formerly Twitter) that made that claim.
In February 2023, a Norfolk-Southern train transporting caustic industrial chemicals, including vinyl chloride, derailed in a small area near the Pennsylvania state line, causing immediate chaos and widespread, long-term damage to the area. I did.
A controlled combustion immediately following the derailment released toxic phosgene into the air.
February 23 – Ash Wednesday – Ohio Republican Sen. J.D. Vance welcomes President Trump to the venue, where the former and future president highlights the American people who have been “forgotten” by President Joe Biden. President Biden still hadn’t shown up and wasn’t scheduled to visit for several more months.

This is what President Trump looked like when he arrived in East Palestine. People were excited to see him.
An entire town in East Palestine gathered to welcome President Trump. Before announcing Biden’s visit, FEMA had refused aid and Biden had ignored the environmental crisis. This is leadership! pic.twitter.com/IpUBcjUuBG

People respond to authentic leadership. This was certainly a moment in which President Trump reminded the American people that he is a leader.
