Leadership ?

Is anybody else, beside me, troubled by the actions of President Joe Biden in reference to East Palestine, Ohio … err, I mean the non-actions of our supposed leader.

Keep in mind that this toxic railroad accident occurred in early February. President Biden said on 3/2/23 that he will visit East Palestine, Ohio, “at some point” … this in the wake of a train derailment that spilled toxic chemicals into the community.

Contrast Biden’s lackadaisical response to: “You are not forgotten,” said by former President Donald Trump when he visited East Palestine, Ohio on 3/22/23, and brought water and other supplies to the folks living there. Residents of East Palestine seemed to be very appreciative of Trump’s visit, especially in view of the fact that Biden has not gone to visit the devastated town.

Now I ask, which response shows true leadership …

  • “you are not forgotten”

or

  • I will probably visit there ‘at some point’

Not surprisingly, the people of East Palestine are frightened and worried about what their future holds. Obviously neither Joe Biden or Donald Trump know what the future holds for these East Palestine families, but who showed up to offer support and encouragement? 

Hint … not the non-leader who will most likely spend this weekend at his Delaware beach house.
