President Trump called a reporter "evil" during a press conference in Texas after being asked about families impacted by the state's devastating floods. He defended the federal response to the disaster. The exchange occurred during a Friday news conference in Kerrville, where Trump was questioned about the timing of emergency alerts. The reporter asked if more timely warnings could have saved lives, prompting Trump's harsh response. The floods, which began July 4, have resulted in at least 120 deaths and 170 missing. The National Weather Service issued warnings, but local officials and some residents claim they received insufficient notice.
