Trump’s Bizarre “Bells” Suggestion Amid Texas Flood Tragedy
In the wake of historic flooding in Texas, President Donald Trump suggested that the loss of life could have been lessened with a more robust warning system, such as “bells… or something, [that] go[es] off.” The president made these comments in an interview following a visit to Kerrville, Texas, where he met with officials and addressed the media. The president’s statements came as local officials faced criticism for the lack of an alert system, despite previous attempts to secure funding for one. Authorities are conducting a review of past actions, while the state government has expressed willingness to provide resources for future safety measures.
