While others panicked, he led. While others fled, he stayed. Rest in power, Mr. Eastland

Trump has been making cuts to NOAA which runs the National Weather. Biden restored staff count but when trump was elected again there was 2800 employees cuts just in 2025 first 2 quarters.As well as having to delay tech upgrades. Trump views these programs as non efficient 🤬

You know what’s sad? If he had lived the world would have held him accountable. Bless his sacrifice, everyone always says they would step up to the plate when you hear the bagpipes, but not many actually do. Rest in peace hero

Trump gutted more than 600 critical NOAA jobs, leading to a dire warning months ago from tje weather center that something like this natural disaster would end up costing many lives

Trump is responsible for this tragedy, he took away FEMA, there was no warning from emergency broadcast system, so his rich friends could have more money,

Wait, isn't he the one who chose not to evacuate the camp? I read they were given a warning 24 hrs prior to the storm and another 4 hrs before the flood. If that's true, he could have prevented everybody's death
