Melania Trump is facing sharp criticism over her social media post on the devastating Texas floods that killed at least 67 people, including 21 children. Offering “thoughts and prayers,” she wrote, “My heart goes out to the parents in Texas.” Critics on X blasted her response as inadequate, citing Trump-era cuts to disaster preparedness and forecasting. Some users accused her of offering sympathy after enabling the crisis. Democratic Congressman Joaquin Castro said reduced weather service staff “could lead to tragedy.” FEMA has now been activated and Coast Guard teams are assisting in search operations after Donald Trump’s disaster declaration.
