At this point in Donald Trump’s presidency, many people have given up hope of Trump behaving like a leader during a tragedy. Most recently, a bizarre moment from Trump’s visit to Texas after the floods proves that he’s not changing anytime soon.
A clip of Trump insulting a reporter for questioning Texas’s late flood alerts on behalf of victims’ families is going viral:
Reporter: Several families are upset because they’re saying the alerts didn’t go out in time. What do you say to those families?Trump: I think everyone did an incredible job under the circumstances… Only an evil person would ask a question like that pic.twitter.com/TZNJPxsJ0U

“Several families we’ve heard from are obviously upset because they say that those warnings, those alerts, didn’t go out in time, and they also say that people could’ve been saved. What do you say to those families?” a reported asked.
“Well I think everyone did an incredible job under the circumstances. This was, I guess, Kristi said, a one in five hundred, one in a thousand years, and uh, I just have admiration for the job that everybody did.”
“Only a bad person would ask a question like that to be honest with you. I don’t know who you are, but only a very evil person would ask a question like that.”

“I think this has been heroism. This has been incredible, really. The job that you’ve all done. It’s easy to sit back and say, ‘Ooh, what could have happened here or there,’ you know. Like we could’ve done something differently. This was a thing that’s never happened before.”
As you can guess, this clip is not going over well online. “He fucked up. They fucked up. And the kids died. So he’s trying to act like it’s an offensive question because he thinks you are stupid,” one person wrote.
This person called Trump’s comments “horrific.”
“Showing concern for your family is evil to him because he despises his own family. This is sick beyond belief,” another person wrote.
“This is so so so pathetic. He’s like a child who will do ANYTHING except admit a mistake and apologize. Clearly there were things your administration could do better moving forward. Talk about THAT to learn how we can better mitigate this in the future instead of being like.”
