VIDEO: Melania Wears Bracelet For Texas Flood Victims |Firefighters Stun Trump While Meeting Melania

Texas Flood News: Former First Lady Melania Trump traveled to Texas to stand in solidarity with the victims of the recent devastating floods. During her visit on July 12, 2025, she met with affected families and first responders, offering comfort and support in the wake of the tragedy that has gripped the state. The visit has since gone viral, not for political reasons, but for two powerful, human moments that struck an emotional chord across the nation. The most talked-about moment involves a special charm bracelet Melania was seen wearing. It has been revealed that the bracelet was a touching gift from the Hotze family, given to her during a roundtable discussion with girls from Camp Mystic. The bracelet serves as a tribute to the young girls who tragically lost their lives in the floods. Melania called the gift "special" and confirmed it was in memory of the girls, a gesture that has been widely praised for its sincerity and empathy. In another viral clip, a group of firefighters are seen greeting Melania and former President Donald Trump with a remarkable show of honor and respect. This moment of class from the first responders has been shared thousands of times, highlighting the mutual respect between the Trumps and the emergency services on the ground. During her visit, the First Lady expressed her deep sorrow for the community and promised that she would be back soon, reinforcing her commitment to the recovery efforts in Texas. #MelaniaTrump #TexasFlood #ViralVideo #BreakingNews #OneindiaNews #DonaldTrump #USNews #FirstLady #Texas #Heartbreaking Also Read Trump and Melania Sign Take It Down Act to Make Revenge Porn a Federal Crime :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-signs-take-it-down-act-revenge-porn-federal-crime-011-4158151.html?ref=DMDesc Melania Trump's Official White House Portrait First Look: A Timeless Elegance Captured :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/melania-trumps-official-white-house-portrait-first-look-a-timeless-elegance-captured-4055401.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Marks 20th Anniversary With Melania: Iconic Wedding Throwback Goes Viral | WATCH :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-melania-trump-20th-wedding-anniversary-celebration-throwback-photo-lavish-2005-wedding-4050607.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.124~

Trump Calls Reporter “Evil” Over Texas Flood Warning Question, Defends FEMA Funding And Abbott

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. #Trump #TexasFloods #FlashFloodAlley #TrumpVsReporter #FEMA #GregAbbott #CrisisResponse #TrumpSlamsReporter #TexasDisaster #FloodWarnings #Evacuation #TexasHillCountry #DisasterFunding #ClimateCrisis #TrumpRoundtable #FloodVictims #KerrCounty #MediaScrutiny #RepublicanDefense #FloodPreparedness ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.124~
