Confused about her role

But for many people watching the news, her words felt strange. Families were still waiting for help. Many areas were flooded. Camps did not evacuate. People were asking questions. Why was there no warning? Why did it take so long to respond?

Reporters at the event asked Trump about FEMA and the delay in sending help. But Trump focused on praising his own system. He smiled and nodded as Noem spoke.

The death toll is now over 100. Crews are still pulling bodies from rivers. Volunteers are using boats and machines to search through the rubble.

Noem tried to soften her words by saying, “God created us to take care of each other.” But the damage was already done.

A lot of people on social media called her response cold and careless, accusing her of not knowing her job or how the government works.

As the waters recede, what remains isn’t just wreckage — it’s doubt about who, if anyone, is truly in charge.
