"The reason the Texans had no idea that a giant flash-flood that killed 20 plus people was going to be coming to them was because the Trump regime has defunded not only the National Weather Service but also what’s known as NOAA … both of those things are how we predict weather events like these," the video’s narrator said.

President Donald Trump was asked about cuts to the National Weather Service (NWS) after deadly Texas floods left at least 80 people dead. Speaking to reporters, the president dismissed concerns that there needs to be extra staff at the weather service and said the floods were an unexpected "once in a 100 years" event.
