Saturday Night Live “Weekend Update” host Colin Jost mocked former President Donald Trump’s recent visit to East Palestine, Ohio, by fantasizing that the town’s grateful residents were actually repulsed by his visit.
During this weekend’s episode, Jost joked that East Palestine residents would rather drink their town’s contaminated water than the bottled water Trump brought them.

“Donald Trump visited East Palestine, the site of the recent train derailment, because Trump usually likes to try to make himself look better by standing next to a train wreck,” Jost quipped.
“While visiting the disaster site, Trump also gave out bottles of Trump-branded water,” he continued, with a punchline that residents said: “Thanks, but we would rather drink the toxic train water” contaminated with vinyl chloride.
While Jost makes light of the train disaster that spilled toxic chemicals into the environment, this reporter spoke with residents of East Palestine who expressed gratitude for the truckloads of water Trump delivered to the town, where many people are worried about the water quality as a result of the recent train derailment.
