💨 Abstract

After catastrophic flooding in Texas, over 100 people have died, including 27 children from a summer camp. The tragedy has been turned into a political issue, with White House Secretary Karoline Leavitt accusing Democrats of politicizing the disaster. Similar manipulations occurred after Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, where then-President Trump blamed the Biden administration. Experts note that climate-related disasters disproportionately affect lower-income areas and are often politicized rather than addressed.
