Why Did Donald Trump Visit Ohio?
In a recent incident, there was an accident of a train derailment in Ohio, which caused massive chemical leakages. As a result, people had to be urgently evacuated from East Palestine, Ohio. Donald Trump, the former President of the United States of America rode into town as a result of this, promising justice to the public.
However, Trump didn’t do anything that helped the people. Instead, the only thing that Trump did was end up speaking against Joe Biden. Many people saw this as a manipulative act and Trump trying to take advantage of a horrible situation to throw shade on Biden and get support from the public.
