President Trump tweets about Amtrak derailment

An Amtrak train plunged onto I-5 south of Tacoma, injuring and killing an unknown number of people Monday morning. The train was making its inaugural run.

President Trump sent out a series of tweets about the incident tragedy Monday morning:

The train accident that just occurred in DuPont, WA shows more than ever why our soon to be submitted infrastructure plan must be approved quickly. Seven trillion dollars spent in the Middle East while our roads, bridges, tunnels, railways (and more) crumble! Not for long!
