After the catastrophic flash flooding in central Texas on July 4, 2025, users online claimed that U.S. President Donald Trump's administration was ultimately to blame for the flood's 100 deaths due to staffing cuts at the National Weather Service.

Donald Trump congratulated Texas officials on what he called a "great" response to the flash floods, insisting that the death toll could have been higher.

Experts said the NWS did a good job warning about the flooding, but questions remain about whether the cuts played a role.
