<p>President Donald Trump slammed Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Tuesday after the Senate minority leader tried to blame Trump for the Texas floods.</p>
<p>&#8220;I saw a Palestinian senator, his name is Schumer, he&#8217;s a great Palestinian,&#8221; Trump said in a White House cabinet meeting. &#8220;He&#8217;s become a Palestinian. He&#8217;s abandoned the Jews. But I saw him say, &#8216;It&#8217;s Trump&#8217;s fault. Yeah, yeah, that&#8217;s right, it&#8217;s Trump&#8217;s fault.'&#8221;</p>

<p>Trump compared Schumer&#8217;s remarks to Jon Lovitz&#8217;s Saturday Night Live character Tommy Flanagan, the pathological liar.</p>
<p>&#8220;I actually saw that stupid guy try to blame it on me,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;And I said, &#8216;Man, that&#8217;s a tough one to take.&#8217; But his career is limited, because I hear AOC is going to beat him, and she&#8217;s no bargain either, by the way.&#8221;</p>
<p>Schumer and other high-profile Democrats have suggested Trump&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) might have exacerbated the crisis by reducing staff and funding from federal weather agencies.</p>
<p>In a letter, Schumer <a href="https://x.com/RossOKeefe2/status/1942180517396336816/photo/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> for an investigation into the National Weather Service on Monday to determine if staffing shortages &#8220;contributed to the massive loss of life and property.&#8221; He cited a New York Times report that said certain Texas forecasting and coordination positions were vacant.</p>
<p>&#8220;NYT further reports that the vacancy rate at many NWS offices nationwide has roughly doubled since President Trump returned to office — due in part to a wave of early retirements encouraged by the administration and a freeze on hiring,&#8221; Schumer&#8217;s letter said.</p>
<p>However, meteorologists have stated that cuts by the federal government did not impact flood warnings or responses, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/theres-no-evidence-to-suggest-doge-cuts-caused-texas-flood-devastation-meteorologists-say">reported</a>.</p>
<p>“There is little evidence that any of the recent cuts to NOAA/NWS negatively impacted services for this event, regardless of what may be being said on social media,” Alan Gerard, a former director of the Analysis and Understanding Branch in the National Severe Storms Laboratory at NOAA, <a href="https://balancedweather.substack.com/p/balancedwx-special-tragic-flash-flooding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said.</a></p>
<p>White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also <a href="https://x.com/RealAmVoice/status/1942274920966414721">criticized</a> Schumer and &#8220;members of the media&#8221; for blaming Trump for the floods.</p>
<p>&#8220;Blaming President Trump for these floods is a depraved lie, and it serves no purpose during this time of national mourning,&#8221; Leavitt said.</p>
<p>More than 100 people have died in the Texas flash floods, including 28 children.</p>
