Mary Trump, political analyst and niece of former President Donald Trump, accused her uncle on Friday of giving "poisoned water" to the residents of East Palestine, Ohio.
Donald Trump made the visit on Tuesday, a few weeks after the rural town was devastated by the crash of a Norfolk Southern train carrying hazardous chemicals. The fallout of the accident exposed the community to dangerous chemicals and raised serious concerns about safety and regulations in the railway industry.
During his visit, in addition to giving speeches and visiting an area McDonald's location, the former president also distributed palettes of bottled water branded with his last name, as he has commonly done with numerous products in the past. This led to speculation that the water was from an old line of Trump-branded water that was discontinued 13 years ago, which would now be potentially toxic to drink given the nature of plastic bottles over time.
Mary Trump, an outspoken critic of her uncle and his political career, echoed these claims during an episode of her podcast series, The Mary Trump Show, while comparing Donald Trump to President Joe Biden.

This has turned into another "Mom drove him across state lines" thing...
There are PLENTY of factual things bout Trump that show how bad he is... no need to spread dis/misinformation.

(12,328 posts)We all know Trump lies about everything. I surely don't see a need for anyone to be defending him here.

(12,483 posts)Some of us defend reality.
Reality should be defended.
Because when someone sees something ridiculous online and then they post that online... it spreads.
Political discussion should ALWAYS be based in reality.
Just like claiming Obama had no Birth Certificate was the peak of tinfoil hattery...

(12,328 posts)Reality means that we know not to ever trust anything he says or does. Trump has done so many ridiculous things that it's impossible to keep up. Here's an example:
"A question that probably some of you are thinking of if youre totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposedly we hit the body with a tremendous, whether its ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasnt been checked, but youre going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. (To Bryan) And I think you said youre going to test that, too. Sounds interesting, right?"
He continued.
"And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so itd be interesting to check that, so that youre going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, well see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. Thats pretty powerful."
Have a good evening. Done here.
