TEXAS – In a high-level press conference held minutes ago, President Donald J. Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, U.S. Homeland Security Director Kristi Noem, and the Director of the Texas Emergency Management Agency addressed the nation from the heart of the flood zone in central Texas.

“FEMA did a wonderful job,” said the President. “They were on the ground in record time.”

💬 Director Kristi Noem added:

“From the moment President Trump signed the order, DHS mobilized resources within minutes. Federal support reached Texas within hours.”

🏛️ White House sources confirm this was one of the fastest disaster mobilizations ever authorized under a presidential disaster order.

👩‍👧 First Lady Melania Trump, visibly moved, pledged to return to visit children affected by the floods at Camp Mystic and praised the strength of families impacted by the disaster.
