Trump slammed for disturbing description of Texas floods that makes people ‘want to throw up’

Donald Trump has upset a lot of people with how he talked about the recent floods in Texas. Many found his words inappropriate and even offensive, especially since the situation there is very serious and heartbreaking.

The floods in Texas have caused massive damage. Entire communities have been wiped out, homes destroyed, and, tragically, many people have died. Over 150 people are still missing, and at least 129 have been confirmed dead. The disaster began on the morning of July 4, when intense and sudden rainfall caused the Guadalupe River to rise rapidly and overflow.

When Trump finally addressed the tragedy, he mentioned that “some young people have died,” referring to children from Camp Mystic who were killed by the floodwaters. Authorities had already confirmed the deaths of several children from the camp, and some others are still missing. Trump also said he and Governor Greg Abbott would work together to help Texas recover.

Despite this promise of support, people were more focused on how Trump described the disaster. During a press conference, he talked about the floodwaters rising rapidly, saying they went up 26 feet in under 45 minutes and possibly even over 30 feet. Then, he shared a story he had heard about the water reaching 60 feet. To describe it, he compared the flood to a huge wave in the Pacific Ocean—so big that even the best surfers would be too scared to ride it.

This comparison really bothered many people. They felt it was completely out of place and made light of a tragic situation. People on social media reacted with disgust and confusion. Some said it sounded like he was talking about an amusement park ride instead of a natural disaster where people died. Others mocked the strange analogy, questioning why he would say something so bizarre in such a serious moment.

Overall, people felt his comments were tone-deaf and showed a lack of empathy for the victims and their families. Many were frustrated and even angry that he seemed more interested in making dramatic statements than showing real compassion or understanding.
