With absolutely no information regarding what caused the derailment, Buttigieg blamed this on Trump and his deregulation. Turns out, after three weeks, it was an overheated break/axel that was detected by 2 to 3 trackside sensors. Had nothing to do with Trump and deregulation. Will we get an apology from Buttigieg for lying about the cause of the accident? I won’t hold my breath.
