Outspoken comedian and actress Rosie O’Donnell has once again taken aim at Donald Trump — this time connecting his controversial policies directly to the devastating flash floods that recently struck central Texas. In a fiery post shared with her millions of followers, O’Donnell didn’t hold back, blaming what she called Trump’s “terrible decisions” for worsening the crisis — and she didn’t stop there.
In her statement, O’Donnell argued that recent record-breaking rains and deadly floods are not just random acts of nature but consequences of what she described as years of reckless environmental rollbacks under the Trump administration. “When you gut climate protections, ignore scientists, and allow corporations to pollute at will, this is what happens,” Rosie wrote. “People lose their homes. People lose their lives. And we’re all left picking up the pieces.”
But Rosie didn’t just stop at climate accusations. She then dropped what many are calling a BOMBSHELL claim — suggesting that Trump and his inner circle actively blocked multiple disaster preparedness initiatives in Texas during his term, despite repeated warnings from experts about the region’s vulnerability to extreme weather.

According to O’Donnell, key flood prevention programs and critical infrastructure upgrades were “intentionally sidelined” because they didn’t align with the administration’s spending priorities. “He wanted to cut ‘waste.’ Well, here’s the result — families drowning in floodwaters that could have been managed if we’d invested properly,” she posted.
Her comments instantly sparked a firestorm online. Supporters praised Rosie for speaking out about what they see as a clear link between poor leadership and climate disasters. Hashtags like #TrumpFloods, #RosieSpeaksOut, and #TexasFloods began trending on X (formerly Twitter) as users weighed in on whether Rosie’s explosive claims could hold up to scrutiny.
Meanwhile, Trump’s allies quickly fired back, dismissing O’Donnell’s remarks as yet another “political stunt.” A spokesperson for Trump called her allegations “baseless and absurd,” pointing out that severe floods have struck Texas for decades, regardless of who’s in office. They accused Rosie of “exploiting tragedy for headlines” and warned that her statements could fuel misinformation at a time when residents are struggling to recover.
Climate experts, however, say O’Donnell’s core point isn’t entirely off the mark. Studies show that human-driven climate change is amplifying the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events like flash floods. Many point to Trump’s rollbacks on clean water protections, cuts to the EPA, and withdrawal from the Paris Agreement as moves that set back climate resilience efforts nationwide.

Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump have had a famously bitter feud dating back nearly two decades, trading barbs on talk shows, social media, and even debate stages. But this latest accusation — tying his legacy to the literal drowning of communities — might be her most explosive yet.
As Texas communities face the costly and painful process of rebuilding, Rosie’s words have reignited debate over accountability and the cost of ignoring climate warnings. For some, it’s just another celebrity rant. For others, it’s a reminder that political decisions — good or bad — don’t just live on paper. They come back to hit people where it hurts most: their homes, their neighborhoods, and their lives.
One thing is clear: Rosie O’Donnell isn’t done talking about Trump — and her followers are here for every word.
