Trump Tells People In East Palestine, “Have A Good Time… Have Fun Everybody” In The Wake Of Train Derailment Tragedy

Earlier today, we reported that Scandal-ridden former President Donald Trump is slated to pay a visit to East Palestine, Ohio, today, at the site of the recent catastrophic toxic train derailment that released various toxic chemicals into the town’s air and waterways.

As noted by Bloomberg, it comes as no surprise that the ex-president’s trip to the tragedy-stricken town is fueled by his desire to fully capitalize on his criticism of his successor President Biden amid the crisis and, more specifically, Biden’s controversial decision to make an unannounced visit to Ukraine, to meet with President Voldomyr Zelenskyy amid the ongoing Russian invasion and attack, before he made an in-person appearance in East Palestine, Ohio. Frankly, there was really no doubt in anyone’s mind that Donald’s flashy visit to the town in crisis is nothing more than a political PR stunt, under the hope that it breathes some new life into Trump’s DOA 2024 presidential campaign.

One would think, though, that even when pulling a political PR stunt, you would be respectful towards the people who were just wracked with tragedy and had their lives upended by chaos. But when it comes to Donald Trump, apparently you can’t even expect that much.

The disgraced former president finally touched down in East Palestine earlier today and video footage of his visit quickly started to circulate across social media — one of which shows Donald Trump telling residents of the tragedy-stricken town: “Have a good time… have fun, everybody.”

I couldn’t make this up if I tried to. See for yourself:

As I’m sure you can imagine, Twitter users were… Less than impressed:
