Melania’s publication encountered rapid decline, as critics said that thoughts and sentences were not enough in the midst of the huge budget cuts of her husband, which have affected federal forecasts and disaster response agencies.
“Your husband reduced help for natural disasters. Your thinking and your prayers can go to the right,” a person replied. “What happens with the requirement that @realdonaldrump stops prefer Fema and providing these people a real help and not” thoughts and sentences, “he wrote for a second.
One third asked, “You’re going to apologize for the Noaa Trump Stock Exchange and the NWS, which clearly enter people Texas Higher risk? How many lives could have been saved by timely warnings, or would this be “socialism”? “”
Another added, “What’s wrong with Donny returning the money to Fema and Noaa? Thoughts and prayers don’t do much!” Others hit the first lady to dance with her husband during the fourth July celebrations, while the fatal floods damaged.
“They have already seen the videos of you dancing on the balcony as their children died. Siddown,” one replied. Another added, “Then stop dancing with your losing husband and show -a little respect for the victims of Texas. Remeber where you came from.”
In a statement published in Truth Social Saturday, the President wrote: “The Trump administration works with state and local officials on the field in Texas in response to the tragic floods that took place yesterday. Our national security secretary, Kristi Noem, will be there soon.
“Melania and I pray for all the families affected by this horrible tragedy. Our first brave people who respond are at the place doing what they do best. God bless families and God bless Texas!”
State and Texas local officials said National Weather The service did not provide accurate forecasts before the catastrophic floods on Friday, a few months after the Trump administration stepped on the agency despite the warnings of experts that the forecasts would suffer.
The cuts from the Meteorological Service of the Trump Government Efficiency Department (DOGE) have led to the critical shortage of staff. About 600 staff members left the NWS or were fired in recent months.
The old NWS prognosis, John Toohey-Morales, told the New York Times that people could die as a result. “I tell you, the North -American people will suffer all this,” he said. “Lives are in danger.”
At the same time, Trump presses that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is eliminated, saying that states should take more responsibility to respond and prepare for the extreme climate and other disasters.
Millions of Americans trust Fema after hurricanes, forest fires, tornadoes, floods and other meteorological disasters every year. The Agency is currently working with states to prepare for disasters, provides for help during emergencies and pays thousands of $ dollars for repairs.
But the President said that Fema could be dismantled as soon as in December 2025. Speaking to the Oval Office in June, Trump announced that important changes to the agency would take place at the end of the Atlantic hurricane season in November.
“We want to untie us and we want to return it to the state level,” said the President. He also announced that the agency will “give less money” to the states that recover from disasters.
