Former president Donald Trump taunted President Joe Biden over the latter’s avoidance of East Palestine, Ohio following the toxic chemical leak and train derailment that occurred earlier this month.
As Trump was touring East palestine on Wednesday, journalist Savanah Hernandez asked, “Mr. President, what is your message to Joe Biden before you leave?”
“Get over here,” Trump quipped.
LFG Joe!!! It shouldn’t take 3 weeks for our leaders to bother with their constituents. The people I met today in EP, Ohio are what America is all about. What they’ve done & gone through in the past 19 days is incredible & they keep going strong!pic.twitter.com/emFK0D0bQn

During his Wednesday visit to East Palestine, Ohio to lend support to the affected victims of the chemical train derailment disaster, Trump made the rounds in the rural community, handing out his trademark “Make America Great Again” hats as he ventured into a local McDonald’s.
Photos that have since gone viral on social media reveal a business-casual Trump surrounded by locals in a McDonald’s, shortly before the 45th President seemed to clean the restaurant out of its Big Mac supply.
While at the staple American fast food restaurant, the former president remarked on the state of the nation and took a swipe at Biden administration Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who has yet to visit the small town.
“They’re systematically destroying our country and it’s a shame, ‘Boot-edge-edge’ should’ve been here,” the 45th President said.
Meanwhile, the current commander-in-chief had an embarrassing incident occur while Trump was back in the US touring East palestine.
Biden’s “historic” trip to Ukraine and Eastern Europe culminated with him falling down on the Air Force One stairs, evoking comparisons to his infamous tumble on the same staircase in 2019.
The incident occurred in Poland on Wednesday as Biden was embarking on the presidential aircraft at Warsaw Chopin Airport.
Nearing the top of the staircase, the octogenarian commander-in-chief stumbled, and hurtled forward, throwing out his hands to break his fall on the steps.
The incident was captured by multiple camera angles and was posted to social media.
