The ex-president took “Trump Spring Water” to an Ohio town reeling from a derailment disaster, along with some water he said was of “a much lesser quality.”Afternoon Update:
......
Trump wants to show up President Biden who visited a war zone and was hailed both for his bravery and his empathy. Now Trump wants to show off his empathy for those who suffered from the toxic cloud from the train wreck in Ohio by going there.
He isn't even there yet and it is already making the news:

Politico's article doesn't say anything about paper towels but does explain how Trump's intention can backfire:

Excerpt:
Donald Trump’s visit to the site of a toxic train derailment in Ohio is offering a political opening to battered Biden administration officials — by calling new attention to the former president’s record of rolling back regulations on both rail safety and hazardous chemicals.
Trump’s administration withdrew an Obama-era proposal to require faster brakes on trains carrying highly flammable materials, ended regular rail safety audits of railroads, and mothballed a pending rule requiring freight trains to have at least two crew members. He also placed a veteran of the chemical industry in charge of the Environmental Protection Agency’s chemical safety office, where she made industry-friendly changes to how the agency studied health risks.

This is how Fox is covering his planned trip:

It's not surprising that the Fox article attacks Biden, however it may have answered the question about whether Trump is actually donating personal money to help the citizens:
Trump is expected to donate thousands of gallons of cleaning supplies, along with 13 pallets of water to East Palestine. A single pallet typically holds a couple of thousand bottles of water. The former president is teaming up with nonprofit organizations Blue Line Moving and KORTX.
For the curious, this is what a pallet of water looks like and how much it costs:

The article also says he will
donate thousands of gallons of cleaning supplies which brings up the question as to whether this will include paper towels, a question that goes unanswered.Numerous commenters to a Raw Story article about Trump's planned visit referenced his dismal record on rail safety, but I was struck by how many commenters to the Raw Story article (scroll down) about this referenced the paper towel debacle in Puerto Rico.

Below is the Raw Story comment that leaped out at me because of the photo. It was followed by other comments related to the paper towel spectacle from Puerto Rico.
Will Trump be throwing out paper towels? Will he shout out, 'where's my African-American?'
The motherfcker is so vain, he'll make the story about him! Melania in stilettos giving out water, Trump throwing paper towels, and "Whose boat is this", Trump and Melania attending three different hurricane tragedies. So, expect nothing but attacks on Biden and Mayor Pete.
I wonder how many paper towel rolls will be thrown today. tRump lacks any basic human concern for anyone but himself so this could be interesting.
Maybe the jerk will give out paper towels.
What use will this easy to spot liar, grifter, coward, fraud and corrupt unfit incompetent Russian dupe be a disaster? The Six Time Bankrupt fraud is used to causing them, not fixing them.
Is he bringing paper towels to throw them?
Here comes tossed rolls of paper towels. Praise the Lord.
Let's see, shooting basketball hoops with paper towel rolls probably won't work. What can the poor schmuck do to show his sincerity? On second thoughts, maybe they can soak up the toxic chemicals with those towels?
Get him a roll of Bounty and he'll be fine.
Bet he forgot his
... paper towels ...
Anyone who has analyzed Trump's personality, whether a mental health expert or not, knows that Trump is the exemplar of someone incapable of empathy. Furthermore, they know he relishes making people suffer. This makes him a sadist. He is a bully. This is a characteristic prevalent among MAGA Republicans. See "Understanding the sadistic bullies in the GOP" my blog from yesterday.

Trump's East Palestine stunt could backfire because 'he's not known for empathy': Maggie Haberman
I'm sure the fine citizens of East Palestine can't wait to have a fat, flatulent fascist prick lob paper towels at them like an asshole.
Hey, Trump has empathy. This is nothing a few paper towels and MAGA hats thrown into the crowd won't fix. Amirite or amirite?
By now, he'll descend into tossing used toilet paper.
