Former President Donald Trump's remarks in East Palestine, Ohio, were brief but still raised some red flags.
in August 2020, Trump’s decision to shift $44 billion from FEMA’s $69 billion disaster fund amid a record hurricane season caused some lawmakers to fear that it would hamper the agency’s ability to respond to natural disasters.
A year earlier, Trump had moved $271 million from FEMA’s disaster fund to pay for temporary detention and hearing locations at the border with Mexico. While FEMA put $12 billion toward the Hurricane Maria response, there were numerous problems found that resulted in relief supplies being delayed and much of the island going without power for months.Trump said that Norfolk Southern is “starting to come here now, too” after initially saying it would not go to East Palestine.It was a Norfolk Southern train that derailed so the company has been on location since the accident occurred.
