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.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has ignited a heated feud with Donald Trump over GOP-led redistricting efforts in Texas, warning of a national “map arms race.” After Democrats blocked a Republican vote in Texas, Newsom mocked Trump on social media, vowing to retaliate by redrawing California’s maps to offset Republican gains.

U.S. President Donald Trump has launched a fiery attack on Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), calling her “Low (Very!!!) I.Q.” and challenging her to take a cognitive exam. In a scathing Truth Social post, Trump compared Crockett to members of the progressive “AOC Plus Three” squad and claimed she was “only slightly dumber.” He boasted about “acing” his own test during a recent physical at a military hospital, alleging Democrats would “fail” in “a spectacular show of stupidity and incompetence.” Crockett, a vocal Trump critic, recently called him a “piece of s---” during a public event, drawing national headlines.

Ukraine War Explodes After Trump's Meetings | Putin-Trump Bromance Over, Now Its WW3; Here's Why

A potential face-to-face meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy could redefine the trajectory of the war, but uncertainty clouds the outcome. U.S. President Donald Trump has pushed hard for direct talks, framing them as the best chance for peace since Russia’s invasion began. The last meeting between Putin and Zelenskyy in 2019 collapsed without progress, and skepticism remains high that Moscow will commit to new negotiations. For Ukraine, the talks represent both hope and risk, as Zelenskyy faces existential stakes for his nation. For Putin, meeting Zelenskyy risks humiliation if Ukraine refuses to surrender. Trump insists he can deliver a breakthrough, but Russian officials remain evasive while Ukraine braces for political traps. Whether the meeting happens or not, the diplomatic chess game underscores the fragile balance of global power and the brutal realities of the war. #Putin #Zelenskyy #Trump #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #PeaceTalks #WarInUkraine #Russia #Ukraine #Geopolitics #WorldNews #Kremlin #Kyiv #Diplomacy #Ceasefire #Conflict #GlobalSecurity #InternationalRelations #BreakingNews #War ~HT.410~GR.124~

Texas Redistricting WAR: Democrats Flee State to Block Republican's GOP Map |Abbott’s Vote Collapses

A dramatic showdown erupts in Texas as 51 Democratic lawmakers flee the state, heading to Illinois to block a Republican redistricting map backed by former President Donald Trump. The GOP-drafted map would add five Republican-leaning seats to the U.S. House, but Democrats say it's a blatant power grab that silences millions of voters. Without the two-thirds quorum needed to proceed, Governor Greg Abbott’s special session is now in chaos. As the redistricting war intensifies, Democrats call this political exile a fight for democracy, while Republicans label it cowardice. Will the runaway lawmakers succeed—or be hunted down, fined, or even removed from office? #TexasPolitics #RedistrictingCrisis #RunawayDems #TrumpBackedMap #GregAbbott #GOPPowerGrab #TexasDemocrats #Illinois #Election2026 #BreakingNews #PoliticalShowdown #USHouse #VotingRights #TrumpNews #AbbottVsDems

“ACT OF GOD?”: Trump Press Sec Blames God for Deadly Texas Flood Question |FEMA Funding in Spotlight

‘Newscum is Destroying California’ | Trump hits out at Newsom as California Guv’s ratings Skyrocket

The feud between Donald Trump and California Governor Gavin Newsom is intensifying as both exchange sharp attacks. Trump labeled Newsom “the man destroying California” and mocked him as “Newscum,” claiming he trails in polls. However, a new Echelon Insights survey shows Newsom surging to 13% support among Democratic voters for 2028, up from 4% in April, second only to Kamala Harris. Newsom’s aggressive strategy—directly mocking Trump on social media—has boosted his national profile, fueling speculation about his presidential ambitions. #TrumpVsNewsom #GavinNewsom #DonaldTrump #USPolitics #2028Election #Democrats #Republicans #PoliticalShowdown #Polls #NewsomSurge #KamalaHarris #TrumpAttack #Election2028 #BreakingNews #PoliticalFeud #NewsomRising #USPresidentialRace #NewsomVsTrump #PoliticalDrama #TrumpNewsom #CampaignTrail #NewsomForPresident #TrumpClash #ElectionPolls #SocialMediaPolitics Also Read Amid Trump Tariffs, Jaishankar Urges Stronger India-Russia Trade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/amid-trump-tariffs-jaishankar-urges-stronger-india-russia-trade-011-7836083.html?ref=DMDesc US Imposed Sanctions On India To End Russia-Ukraine War, More Tariffs If Trump-Putin Talks Fail :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-imposed-sanctions-on-india-to-end-russia-ukraine-war-more-tariffs-if-trump-putin-talks-fail-7835021.html?ref=DMDesc Trump To Arrange Face-To-Face Meeting Between Putin And Ukraine's Zelenskyy :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-to-arrange-face-to-face-meeting-between-putin-and-ukraines-zelenskyy-7833925.html?ref=DMDesc

Musk’s New Party ‘DEAD ON ARRIVAL’? Billionaire Cancels Key Meetings, America Party Plans COLLAPSE

Elon Musk’s much-hyped new political party has reportedly stalled just two months after its launch. Sources say Musk is retreating amid GOP pushback, fearing damage to ties with Republican leadership, especially VP JD Vance. The Tesla billionaire has suspended meetings, distanced himself from allies like Andrew Yang, and shifted focus back to Republican politics. Despite once pledging millions for his own party, Musk may now redirect support toward Vance’s 2028 White House run. Critics argue Musk lacks the credibility and infrastructure to build a lasting third-party force. #ElonMusk #MuskParty #Politics #USPolitics #Republicans #JDVance #Trump #ThirdParty #PoliticalNews #Musk2028 #AmericaPAC #RogerStone #AndrewYang #Election2028 #GOP #PoliticalShift #MuskVsTrump #BreakingNews #TeslaCEO #PoliticalDrama #Campaign2028 #ElectionNews #MuskBacksVance #WhiteHouseRace #PoliticalPower #MuskPAC #USNews #ElectionBattle #ThirdPartyFail #PoliticalComeback ~ED.420~HT.408~

‘Don’t stick your knife…’ MAGA Camp’s Shocking Plea To Get Elon Musk Back | Urges Reconciliation

A surprising twist is unfolding in U.S. politics — prominent MAGA figures are calling for Elon Musk’s return to their fold. Vice President JD Vance, strategist Roger Stone, and activists like Scott Presler are urging reconciliation despite Musk’s past feud with Donald Trump over the “Big Beautiful Bill” and his talk of forming a third party. They say Musk’s vast resources were pivotal to Trump’s 2024 victory, and could be decisive for the 2026 midterms. MAGA Inc has already raised $177 million in 2025, but leaders see Musk as the ultimate game-changer — their “George Soros of the Right.” Musk hasn’t spoken about his “America Party” in weeks and even donated $15 million to the GOP in June. He has recently supported Trump’s calls to federalize D.C. policing. The push for a full political reunion is intensifying. #MAGA #ElonMusk #DonaldTrump #JDVance #RogerStone #USPolitics #MidtermElections #MAGAInc #PoliticalDonations #AmericaParty #ScottPresler #AlexJones #Republicans #GOP #TrumpMusk #PoliticalComeback #Election2026 #GeorgeSoros #RightWing #PoliticalDrama ~HT.410~GR.122~ED.103~
