White House resident Joe Biden announced recently that he finally plans to make an appearance in East Palestine, Ohio, over a year after a devastating train derailment and toxic chemical spill occurred.
However, it seems that this decision may not have been entirely his own. Some suspect that the crafty Democrats and elites may have had a hand in pushing Biden to this decision, perhaps in an effort to further sink his approval ratings and make way for another puppet candidate, such as former first lady Michelle Obama, to take his place.
It is difficult to believe that Biden suddenly developed a sense of urgency or compassion for heartland Americans. After all, it took him nearly a year to make the decision to visit the victims of the East Palestine train disaster. This delayed response may serve to remind residents of his lack of concern and disdain for middle America. Comparisons to former President Donald J. Trump’s timely visit will only further highlight Biden’s shortcomings.
During his visit on Feb. 22, 2023, Trump showed empathy and reassurance to the community, while also providing much-needed supplies. He was accompanied by Republican Sen. J.D. Vance, and declared, “You are not forgotten.
We stand with you. We pray for you. And we will stand with you and your fight to help ensure the accountability that you deserve.” He also acknowledged the community’s resilience and the true spirit of America. In contrast, Biden’s absence sent a clear message of neglect and disregard.
Trump wasted no time in calling out Biden’s political strategy, stating on Truth Social that “With the World blowing up around us, with the Middle East on FIRE, Biden has finally decided to visit East Palestine, Ohio, a year late, and only to develop some political credibility because EVERYTHING else he has done has been such a DISASTER.” He also predicted that the president will not receive a warm reception in East Palestine and labeled him as the “Worst President in History!”
The excuse that Biden did not have enough time in his schedule to visit East Palestine is simply not believable. In fact, according to the Biden Vacation Tracker, he has taken a total of three weeks off in the two months following the train accident.
This amounts to 40 percent of his time in office spent on vacation. East Palestine Mayor Trent Conaway, when asked about the timing of Biden’s visit, suggested that “the best time for him to come would be February of 2025 when he is on his book tour.” He also noted that he is not sure what Biden could possibly do in East Palestine at this point.
It seems that Biden’s team is allowing him to make this visit knowing that it is an empty gesture and likely to backfire. The residents are not likely to give him a warm welcome, and the media coverage is likely to remind the public of his delayed response to the disaster. It begs the question, why is Biden making this visit? Is there an ulterior motive behind it?

In my opinion, there is something fishy going on in East Palestine and it’s not just the lingering effects of the toxic chemicals. I believe that Trump and his team should look beyond the surface and dig deeper into the real reason behind Biden’s visit. There may be something more to uncover here.
