Former President Trump buys food for East Palestine firefighters, everyone in McDonald's

Former President Donald Trump was in East Palestine Wednesday as the village continues its cleanup from the train derailment that took place nearly three weeks ago.

The visit by Trump, who is again running for the presidency in 2024, comes as the situation in Columbiana County continues to evolve almost hourly.

Trump's first stop on his visit was at The Original Roadhouse restaurant, where residents lined the streets waiting for the former president's arrival. He then surveyed Little Beaver Creek, one of the waterways affected by the chemical spill.

U.S. Senator JD Vance and U.S. Rep. Bill Johnson were among those in East Palestine for Trump's visit on Wednesday. Vance spoke to the media about what it means to have Trump visit East Palestine.
