Debunking Media Lies: Trump Didn't Fail Texas Flood Response

The media falsely blamed President Trump for catastrophic Texas floods, alleging cuts to the National Weather Service (NWS) caused the disaster.

In reality, Trump signed a major disaster declaration promptly, and the NWS provided over 12 hours of advance flood warnings, with flash flood alerts issued well before the severe flooding occurred.

Staffing levels at the NWS were actually higher than normal during the event, disproving claims of staff cuts hindering forecasts.

Experts and the Department of Homeland Security confirmed the NWS did its job despite the extreme and unprecedented nature of the flooding.

This scenario highlights how the media often politicizes natural disasters when a Republican president is in office, unfairly assigning federal blame rather than focusing on state and local responses.
