Mary Trump Says Her Uncle Handed Out ‘Poisoned Water’ At Site Of Ohio Train Derailment

Mary Trump, the niece of disgraced, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump, said on her podcast that during his visit to East Palestine, Ohio on Tuesday, her uncle was “handing out poisoned water.”

On the latest edition of The Mary Trump Podcast, Ms. Trump compared her uncle to current President Joe Biden and the way his administration is handing the disaster caused by a train derailment in the Ohio town.

“I think the the difference, the contrast between Biden and Donald could not be more stark. And yes, Democrats do need to get better. And I think they are getting better at touting their accomplishments, which are extraordinary. I mean, just absolutely extraordinary. And, you know, you look at a President Biden in Poland and Donald in Helsinki, you know, and and what President Biden is doing for the environment, and Donald Trump going to a train derailment in Ohio, that his policies were were indirectly directly responsible for causing while handing out poisoned water because, sorry, folks, if a bottle of water is ten years old and that bottle is plastic, that is probably not something you want to be drinking.”

Many of us wondered about the bottled water donated by the failed former president to East Palestine residents, some of which was labeled “Trump Ice.” That brand was discontinued 13 years ago, yet another failed venture by the self-proclaimed “great businessman.”

Reuters did a fact check, however, and was able to establish that Trump didn’t hand out water that was over a decade old.

Users online appear to be referring to Trump Ice spring water (here), which was reportedly discontinued in 2010 (here).

A Trump Ice water bottle can be seen in a 2016 photo of a display at the Trump Museum (here). The bottle has a visibly different logo to the ones Trump recently donated in Ohio.

Trump Ice appears to have since been rebranded as Trump Natural Spring Water, according to reports (here), (here), (here).

Spokespeople for Trump and the Trump Organization didn’t immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

VERDICT
Misleading. Donald Trump donated Trump Natural Spring Water during a visit to the site of the toxic train derailment in Ohio, not the discontinued Trump Ice brand of water bottles.

However, considering just how shoddy everything Trump makes is, it might be a good idea for Ohioans who run across the Trump Ice brand to dump the bottles in the nearest trash receptacle, which is where the Donald belongs, too.
