Donald Trump and his MAGA allies' repeated emphasis that the Ohio community affected by the toxic train derailment is being ignored because residents are overwhelmingly white is the latest twist on the race-baiting campaigns the former president likes to run, notes a Guardian columnist.
Rather than railing about crime in inner cities and "woke" diversity in schools, education and the military — all attacks on people of color — this time Trump and his supporters are focusing on what they claim is the victimization of whites only. During his visit to East Palestine earlier this week, Trump called the community plight a "betrayal" by the Biden administration that doesn't care about working-class whites. It's a Trump theme.
"The race and class-baiting happening here" by Trump, his supporters and the right-wing media is "eerily reminiscent of the Republican Party's poor-white-victim strategy of 2016," writes Guardian columnist Tayo Bero.

PBS NewsHour full episode, Feb. 23, 2023
Thursday on the NewsHour, an overheated wheel bearing and a warning that came too late, government investigators explore possible causes of the train derailm...
Pete but a judge will not be considered for vice president or president.
It is funny when poor Mr Rogers President Biden blames president Trump for relaxing the rules when he could have made it his top priority on his first month of office. All he cares about is equity, inclusion, diversity and picking the person that checks the Box not who was the best person for the job and climate change.
Kamala Harris and Pete buttigieg fit that. Pete buttigieg being gay and Kamela Harris being a woman of color.
Pothole Pete only showed up because president Trump was going to show up and even when he did show up, he was cranky and he wore the wrong shoes!
He claims he didn't want to show up to be in the way but a leader can be there and step back and let them do their job.
This week was A Tale of Two Cities. No matter what the Raw Story article says, Democrats blew it big time!
I actually watched president Trump being discussed on PBS NewsHour and it was considered favorable.
You can start watching at the 4-minute Mark.
