Trump Plans Texas Flood Visit After Deadly Storms Kill Over 120

President Trump is scheduled to visit Texas to assess the aftermath of devastating floods that have claimed over 120 lives and left many missing. The visit, which includes meeting survivors, first responders, and local leaders, underscores the administration's focus on disaster response despite earlier pledges to dismantle FEMA. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has praised the federal response, highlighting a cooperative relationship that contrasts with Trump's contentious interactions with California Governor Gavin Newsom during the state's earlier wildfire crisis. Critics argue that Trump's differing responses to disasters in Republican and Democratic states reveal a pattern of politicizing emergencies. The president's visit aims to demonstrate support for the conservative state amid a significant humanitarian crisis, with an aerial tour and briefings planned alongside prominent Texas GOP senators. Meanwhile, Trump’s administration continues to face scrutiny for proposed cuts to climate and emergency agencies even as it manages the current crisis.
