Trump Pretends Not to Hear Difficult Question on Texas Deaths (The Daily Beast)

President Donald Trump was hearing reporters just fine until one of them asked him about federal cuts in the aftermath of the devastating floods in Texas.

Trump spoke to reporters in New Jersey on Sunday after flash floods wreaked havoc in central Texas over the weekend, killing at least 80 people and sending over 40 others missing. Critics were quick to blame the calamitous toll on the administration’s overhaul of the federal government, which included staff cuts at the National Weather Service.

“Democrats are blaming your federal cuts for the deaths over in Texas,” one reporter, who could be heard audibly projecting their voice, asked Trump.

1. TNWS and NOAA offered a flash flood warning system for the Guadalupe R. and it was rejected by Texas ...

…. Republicans. And Trump, Musk, and his Doge Boyz have blood on their hands too.

“The DOGE and trump cuts meant that the weather service did not have the staff available to coordinate with the local officials.”

BTW don’t expect any payback to republicans @ the ballot box either. Our elections are dirty.

2. Pretends? Or, actual hearing loss due to

his age, and all the drugs he has used over his lifetime? Cocaine and amphetamine abuse are known to affect hearing.

3. The question will be repeated, and GOP will have to find a response

They're flailing right now, and throwing excuses out like candy. But by the end of the week, they'll have to convince the electorate someone else to blame or eat this one.
