BREAKING: Rosie O’Donnell BLAMES T.r.u.m.p for Texas Floods, Then DROPS SH0CKING CLAIM That Could DESTROY His Legacy….

By SkyLine | July 8, 2025

In a fiery and unfiltered tirade that is already sparking national debate, actress and longtime political commentator Rosie O’Donnell has accused former President Donald T.r.u.m.p of being directly responsible for the recent devastating floods that overwhelmed large parts of central Texas. But she didn’t stop there—O’Donnell went on to make a bombshell allegation that, if substantiated, could pose a serious threat to T.r.u.m.p’s already polarizing legacy.

During a surprise appearance on MSNBC’s The ReidOut on Monday night, O’Donnell delivered a scathing assessment of the former president’s environmental policies, linking them directly to the infrastructure collapse that exacerbated the Texas flood crisis.

“This man dismantled climate protections, slashed emergency preparedness funding, and appointed fossil fuel lobbyists to run environmental agencies,” O’Donnell said. “And now people in Texas are paying the price with their lives.”

A Devastating Disaster — and a Political Flashpoint

Over the past week, torrential rains have flooded central Texas, destroying thousands of homes and claiming at least 24 lives. Many local officials have pointed to aging flood control systems and years of underfunded infrastructure as contributing factors.

But Rosie O’Donnell, never one to shy away from controversy, took things a step further by directly placing the blame on T.r.u.m.p’s administration.

“He didn’t just ignore science—he waged war against it,” she said. “The deregulatory spree he unleashed from 2017 to 2021 gutted the very protections designed to keep Americans safe in moments like this.”

While O’Donnell is not the first to draw attention to the long-term consequences of T.r.u.m.p-era rollbacks, her remarks came with a level of personal anger and intensity rarely seen, even in America’s deeply divided political climate.

The Bombshell Allegation

Just as the interview seemed to be winding down, O’Donnell delivered a shocking allegation that immediately set social media ablaze.

“People need to ask themselves why T.r.u.m.p was quietly investing in private water infrastructure companies in the months after leaving office,” she claimed. “He knew this kind of disaster was coming—and he positioned himself to profit from the chaos.”

Although no verified evidence has yet been presented to support this claim, O’Donnell insisted that “the receipts” will eventually come to light, hinting that whistleblowers and investigative journalists are already “on the trail.”

Within minutes, hashtags like #TrumpFloodProfiteer and #RosieBombshell were trending on X (formerly Twitter), with thousands of users fiercely debating the merits—and motivations—of the accusation.

The T.r.u.m.p Response: Silence So Far

As of this writing, neither Donald T.r.u.m.p nor his team have publicly responded to O’Donnell’s explosive remarks. The former president has, in the past, brushed off her attacks as “desperate” and “unhinged,” citing her as a “failed Hollywood liberal” seeking relevance.

However, the silence from T.r.u.m.p’s camp this time is notable, particularly given the growing national attention and renewed focus on his environmental legacy.

Political analysts suggest that the accusation—though unproven—could have serious implications for T.r.u.m.p’s ongoing efforts to position himself as a 2028 presidential contender.

“If there’s even a shred of truth to what O’Donnell is saying, it could be politically catastrophic,” said Dr. Marcia Ellison, a political historian at Georgetown University. “The idea of a former president financially benefiting from a disaster that hurt thousands of Americans? That’s the kind of scandal that lingers.”

A Long-Running Feud Reignited

The bitter feud between Rosie O’Donnell and Donald T.r.u.m.p spans nearly two decades. It began in 2006 when O’Donnell criticized T.r.u.m.p’s treatment of former Miss USA Tara Conner, prompting an avalanche of insults from the businessman-turned-reality-TV-star.

Since then, the two have traded barbs across media outlets and social media platforms, with T.r.u.m.p frequently mocking O’Donnell’s appearance and intelligence, and O’Donnell labeling T.r.u.m.p a “national disgrace.”

This latest chapter, however, may be the most consequential—especially if public sentiment begins to turn amid deepening scrutiny over climate-related disasters.

What’s Next?

Several members of Congress have already called for an inquiry into the preparedness and funding of flood response mechanisms in Texas, and some progressive lawmakers say they want to explore O’Donnell’s allegation of “disaster profiteering” more seriously.

“This can’t be dismissed as just a celebrity outburst,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Tuesday. “If there are financial interests connected to public catastrophe, the American people deserve answers.”

As for O’Donnell, she remains defiant.

“I don’t care what they say about me,” she tweeted late Monday night. “But I will speak up for the people getting washed away while the rich cash in.”

Whether Rosie’s claim proves to be a firestorm or a factual revelation remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: the battle between O’Donnell and T.r.u.m.p is far from over—and this time, it might just leave a lasting mark on American politics.
