BREAKING: A Train derailed in Washington, killing 3 people, injuring 62, and causing $40 million in damage. Biden & Pete Buttigieg will not be going to the scene and there will be no FEMA aid given. - "Now that I got your attention, this accident actually happened in 2017 under President Trump. Trump never visited the crash site, and neither did his Transportation Secretary  Elaine Chao. Instead Trump used the crash to try and tout his failed infrastructure plan, tweeting, 'shows more than ever why our soon to be submitted infrastructure plan must be approved quickly.'  He then went on to deregulate multiple safety precautions on trains. 

"No FEMA aid was given to anyone after this accident either and it was otherwise ignored by the administration." [ed. note: twitter post with video embed]
