In my last article, I said that Trump is the most consequential president since perhaps Lincoln. Some readers may think this is hyperbole—in time, everyone will see that I am right. He broke with the script held to by modern politics, and this was enough to show that the emperor has no clothes. Whatever else he did or didn’t do pales in comparison. The people can’t unsee what he has shown them. He has become something more than a president.

In 2023, when a train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, it spilled hazardous chemicals and prompted a state of emergency declaration. The authorities rushed in and, rather than cleaning up the mess—and in what many saw as a cover-up—decided to burn the chemicals instead. Poisonous gas began billowing throughout the small town, eventually causing widespread health problems which persist to this day. The chair of the US National Transportation Safety Board recently confirmed at a Senate hearing what many knew at the time—that the controlled burn was unjustified.

Government mishandling of the disaster was bad enough. But something worse happened—the left began gloating at the misfortune of this small, blue-collar town. This was not just a train run off the tracks. To the left, it was it was a sign that nature or nature’s god hated Middle America, and in a feverish display of schadenfreude, it gleefully rubbed salt in the wound, laughing at their misfortune and sputtering that they deserved it, as Joy Behar did on The View.

Meanwhile, Republican Ohio governor Mike DeWine faced calls to resign over the mishandling, with the Republican party seen as a symbol of elite incompetence and indifference to the folk it is there to serve. When East Palestine residents needed help, they only saw a horde of gloating subhumans to their left, and a cabal of negligent criminals to their right. No one was on their side. Then Trump arrived.

He arrived before even Biden, the sitting president. And people noticed. Watch their response . . .
