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.

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.

India has reportedly declined a U.S. offer to buy F-35 stealth fighter jets, according to Bloomberg. The offer was made by President Trump during Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Washington in February. Instead of purchasing American jets, India is prioritizing joint defense manufacturing initiatives and has shown greater interest in the Russian Su-57, especially after its debut at Aero India.
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs downplayed Bloomberg’s report, confirming no formal talks on the F-35 have taken place yet. Meanwhile, the U.S. has slapped 25% tariffs on Indian imports due to a failed trade deal, escalating tensions. Trump also announced India would face a penalty over its continued defense ties with Russia. This deepening rift could impact U.S.-India defense cooperation and reshape future arms procurement.

Texas Floods: Was This Disaster Avoidable? 79 Dead & Dozens Missing | Oneindia News
As rescue teams race against time in the flood-ravaged Texas Hill Country, chilling questions are emerging about whether this catastrophe could have been prevented.
A catastrophic flash flood has torn through Central Texas, leaving a trail of devastation and a rising death toll of at least 79 people, with dozens still unaccounted for. The disaster struck with shocking speed before dawn, as the Guadalupe River surged an unprecedented 26 feet in just 45 minutes. This terrifying wall of water swept away homes, vehicles, and summer camps, giving residents and campers mere minutes to react. The event has turned serene landscapes into disaster zones, prompting a massive search and rescue operation.
Kerr County has been hit the hardest, reporting 59 fatalities, a number that tragically includes 21 children who were camping near the river. Among the missing are eleven children and a counselor from Camp Mystic, a detail that has left the entire community in shock and grief. The tragedy extends to Travis, Burnet, and Kendall counties, where more casualties have been confirmed. Authorities are deploying helicopters, drones, and boats in a desperate search for survivors and victims, with over 850 people already rescued from rooftops, trees, and isolated areas.
As families and volunteers join the desperate search efforts, many are beginning to ask hard questions about the timeliness and adequacy of the flood warnings. With flood watches still in effect and more rain in the forecast, the situation remains critical. Officials have vowed to continue the search until every last missing person is found, but the scale of this natural disaster has left a permanent scar on Central Texas.

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.

At least 82 people are dead, including 28 children, after catastrophic floods swept through central Texas. As rescue teams search for 11 missing girls last seen at Camp Mystic, Donald Trump deflects responsibility, calling the tragedy a “Biden setup” and brushing off questions about slashed FEMA and weather budgets. Entire communities were engulfed as the Guadalupe River surged 26 feet in just 45 minutes.

Ghislaine Maxwell has been subpoenaed by the United States Congress amid questions about the so-called Epstein Files. Republican Congressman James Comer -- the.. TMZ.com
President Donald Trump has publicly backed Tulsi Gabbard after she declassified explosive findings that claim top Obama-era officials conspired to delegitimize Trump’s 2016 election victory. Gabbard, now serving as Director of National Intelligence, revealed “overwhelming evidence” that senior figures—including Obama, Brennan, and Clapper—used false intelligence to initiate the Trump–Russia collusion narrative.
She labeled the alleged actions as a "treasonous conspiracy" designed to subvert the will of American voters. Trump praised Fox News and Gabbard on Truth Social, calling the report a bombshell. Gabbard is submitting all materials to the DOJ for criminal investigation. The report also casts doubt on the Steele Dossier and claims internal memos disproved cyber tampering allegations before they were altered to implicate Russia. The revelations could reignite political tensions ahead of the 2024 elections as Republicans push for legal action.

Epstein Files: A political firestorm has erupted in Washington as the House passed a resolution demanding the release of all DOJ documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. The resolution, introduced by Rep. Ralph Norman and backed by multiple Republican lawmakers, orders Attorney General Pam Bondi to make all credible files public within 30 days.
These include files related to Epstein’s detention, death, his ties to Ghislaine Maxwell, and internal DOJ communications. Though symbolic and non-binding, the move has fueled public pressure to unseal Epstein's elusive “client list.” Critics call the vote a partisan stunt, while others hail it as a breakthrough for accountability. Social media exploded with demands for transparency. The question now: Will Bondi comply? Or will the cover-up claims grow louder?

Trump has sharply criticized his own MAGA supporters, calling them “stupid people” and “gullible weaklings” amid growing controversy over the Jeffrey Epstein case. The Department of Justice and FBI recently released a report denying the existence of a high-profile client list linked to Epstein, a convicted Sex offender found dead in jail in 2019. However, many Republicans remain skeptical, suspecting a cover-up to protect powerful figures, especially given conflicting statements from Attorney General Pam Bondi, who claimed to possess Epstein’s client list. Trump has distanced himself from GOP members who accept the DOJ’s version, labeling them weaklings, while dismissing the controversy as a “hoax” fabricated by Democrats

Trump border czar Tom Homan delivered a fiery speech at a Florida student summit, clashing with a heckler and promising to lead the “biggest deportation operation ever”. After a heckler asked if he was part of MS-13, Homan fired back, calling him a “loser” who lives in his mom’s basement. Defending ICE agents as “America’s finest 1%,” Homan declared he won’t back down. His aggressive defense of Trump’s immigration policy drew cheers and chants of “U-S-A” from the crowd, as Homan promised: “Tom Homan isn’t going anywhere.”
