President Donald Trump lashed out at a reporter during a Texas flood roundtable, calling the question about lack of early warnings “very evil.” Visiting Central Texas following massive flash floods that left over 100 dead, Trump praised FEMA and Governor Greg Abbott’s response team, pledging swift federal aid. The Texas “Flash Flood Alley” region suffered rapid water surges, catching communities unprepared. Trump claimed “fully funded within minutes” and commended responders. He reiterated that such rapid flooding was unprecedented, dismissing criticisms. Republican Rep. Chip Roy defended him, calling the question “ridiculous.” Trump also avoided answer on future FEMA role. With casualties including at least 27 campers in Kerr County, the event highlighted his administration's partnership with Texas officials. His remarks stirred controversy over leadership tone and disaster preparedness in face of growing climate disasters.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is facing intense criticism after calling the deadly Texas floods—claiming over 100 lives—an “act of God.” The comment came as search and rescue efforts continued in Kerr County, where floodwaters swept through homes and Camp Mystic. Critics argue the Trump administration’s underfunding of FEMA and the National Weather Service worsened the crisis. During a press conference, reporters challenged Leavitt over delayed alerts and lack of preparedness. The backlash grows as families demand accountability for a preventable disaster.
