During a press conference in Kerrville, Texas, Donald Trump faced reporters’ questions about delayed flood alerts following recent tragic flooding. Trump deflected a critical inquiry, labeling it as coming from an “evil person,” while praising the event’s management instead. The article criticizes Trump’s past neglect of climate science and highlights Kerrville’s repeated flooding history, disputing Trump’s characterization of the event as rare. This year’s floods, exacerbated by Tropical Storm Barry, have led to significant casualties and raised alarm over the region’s flood preparedness and response systems.
