Original Note:
Former President Donald Trump did not help "facilitate" the rail disaster in East Palestine, Ohio. This claim is referring to a rule that was repealed during the Trump administration. The rule is referring to train brakes when the suspected cause of the crash is the axle. https://www.wcpo.com/news/state/state-ohio/why-did-hazardous-materials-train-derail-in-east-palestine-a-look-at-the-investigation-and-rail-regulations
