Trump Voices Support for Texas Amid Flooding, Says His Team is Assisting on the Ground.
As parts of Texas struggle with heavy flooding, former President Donald Trump has publicly offered support, stating that his team is working with state and local officials to help manage the disaster. His remarks come during a time when many Texans are facing power outages, damaged homes, and emergency evacuations.
In a brief statement shared on social media and later confirmed by his team, Trump said, “We are in touch with leaders in Texas and doing what we can to support them. It’s a tough situation, but the people of Texas are strong.”
Although Trump no longer holds public office, his influence within Republican states like Texas remains notable. His team — made up of former White House staffers and political allies — has reportedly been coordinating with conservative nonprofit groups to provide resources such as food, bottled water, and emergency supplies to affected areas.
The flooding has disrupted daily life for thousands. Roads are underwater, schools have shut down, and many businesses remain closed. For families living paycheck to paycheck, the economic hit could be devastating.
Trump’s Statement Draws Mixed Reaction
While many of Trump’s supporters welcomed his comments, others questioned what kind of assistance his team could realistically provide. According to one former aide, Trump’s outreach is focused on helping Republican-led counties organize relief efforts through grassroots networks.
“He’s not trying to take over the federal response,” the aide said. “This is about helping out where possible — whether it’s organizing volunteers, shipping supplies, or simply raising awareness.” In the past, Trump has often made calls for unity in times of natural disaster.
Local churches have become shelters, neighbors are sharing generators, and volunteers are cooking meals in makeshift kitchens. In one small town near Lufkin, residents formed a human chain to help an elderly couple escape their flooded home.
One volunteer, Sarah Alston, said, “We’re not thinking about politics right now. People need help. If you’ve got a dry place to sleep or an extra sandwich to share, that’s what matters.”
Meanwhile, FEMA and state agencies are setting up temporary housing for evacuees and helping restore power to affected areas. Medical teams are being deployed where hospitals have become overwhelmed, and damage assessment crews are already preparing long-term recovery plans.
Trump ended his message with a call for resilience: “Texans have always shown strength in the face of hardship. We’ll continue doing our part to help where we can.”
That message may carry weight for some, but for many Texans today, the focus remains on the basics — staying safe, staying dry, and helping each other through the storm.
God Bless You all
