Donald Trump’s ‘solution’ to the Texas flood tragedy was the new dictionary definition of simplistic (or should that be idiotic?) – 19 furious and utterly on-point responses
The people of Texas are still recovering from the devastating floods that ravaged the state as the death toll climbs over 130. The more reporting that comes out points to a disorganized relief effort hamstrung by a lack of funds and slow response times.
Now the head of state is offering his solution. And it’s as simple-minded as you can imagine.

This didn’t go over well online, as people were lightning quick to point out the hypocrisy of his incoherent answer and how little pushback he received during this “exclusive” interview with his actual daughter-in-law.

It should be a felony to be this dumb.
Instead it’s the most powerful man in the free world.

How is it possible that Trump’s editor looked at this video and decided this is perfect, let’s just go with this.

Is there a precedent for a sitting president being interviewed by a direct family member as a “serious” piece of journalism?

That comment is not just flippant, it’s also deeply disrespectful to Texans facing devastation.
Lives have been lost. Families displaced. Entire communities underwater. What they need is emergency aid, compassion, and leadership, not sarcasm and blame-shifting.
Real leaders…

This makes me ill. Children died, families are in grieving pain, and to hear the president of the United States say (in hindsight) that they “should’ve had bells”. I hope parents and loved ones of victims sue the pants off of this ill prepared government.

Now he’s just doing interviews with his own family members?
Has this come completely off the rails or what?
Bondi will never get fired for the Epstein debacle either. She will do whatever Trump tells her and he has to have her.
