HEARTWARMING: TRUMP BUYS LUNCH FOR FIRST RESPONDERS IN EAST PALESTINE
Trump’s touching visit to East Palestine, Ohio, on Wednesday, struck a chord with individuals whose lives have been damaged by the deadly chemical train tragedy that devastated the city in early February.
One unusual incident stuck out to customers and staff of a nearby McDonald’s when the president purchased lunch for the area’s first responders who had been working the catastrophe scene.
Donald Trump quipped, “So, I know this menu better than you do. I probably know it better than anybody in here.”
Trump has long been renowned for his McDonald’s addiction. According to The Guardian, President Trump ordered McDonald’s famous Quarter Pounder and Big Mac burgers for the Clemson University football team after they won the College Football Playoff National Championship in 2019.
Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, even included one of Trump’s favorite McDonald’s meals in his memoir, “Breaking History,” which was published last year.
According to the Washington Examiner, he said that among Trump’s favorite dishes at the fast-food chain were a Big Mac, Filet-o-Fish, French fries, and a vanilla milkshake.
Trump’s visit to East Palestine on Wednesday coincided with Joe Biden’s unwillingness to visit Ohio.
Instead, on Presidents’ Day, Biden departed the nation to visit Ukraine, where he promised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky $500 million in further military funding, according to The Hill.
According to RSBN, FEMA first dismissed pleas for help for East Palestine residents. but changed their tune once Trump announced that he would be visiting the neighborhood this week.
Residents of East Palestine hailed Trump and praised him for visiting them in their hour of need. “Thank you very much for coming!” said one woman in the audience.
Another said Trump was “the Actual POTUS!”
Crowds gathered on the streets as Trump’s motorcade drove by. He signed autographs and distributed MAGA caps with the number “47,” alluding to his prospective second term as president if he wins the presidential election in 2024.
