In early July 2025, a screenshot claimed to show a real Truth Social post by U.S. President Donald Trump calling on people to forget the "Epstein files" and focus on the "beautiful young girls" who died in the Texas flash floods over the Fourth of July. Per the screenshot, Trump wrote:

President Donald Trump is visiting Texas on Friday to assess catastrophic flooding that has killed at least 120 people.

Donald Trump is due to visit Texas Hill Country where the floods have killed at least 120 people and more than 160 others remain missing.

The governor was quick to request federal assistance last week after devastating floods hit the Texas Hill Country.

Buffalo News editorial cartoonist Adam Zyglis depicted a supporter of President Donald Trump drowning under the severe flash floods that took place in Texas.

President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump are in Texas to visit communities ravaged by the deadly flooding. NBC News' Priscilla Thompson reports more from Kerrville, Texas. Investigative Reports for the Austin American-Statesman Tony Plohetski and New York Times Chief White House Correspondent Peter Baker join Katy Tur to weigh in on the questions mounting over FEMA's response to the disaster.

President Donald Trump bristled at questions critical of the government’s response to deadly flooding during a visit to Texas Friday, and praised the Federal Emergency Management Agency that he had floated shutting down just last month.
