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.

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

Trump, who spent Sunday golfing, disputed the suggestions that his administration’s cuts to key federal agencies may have hurt the response to the deluge.
