"Well, I think everyone did an incredible job under the circumstances, only a very evil person would ask a question like that. I think this has been heroism.

Donald Trump's visit to the Texas flood disaster zone included remarks praising rescue efforts and calling a reporter "evil" for questioning lack of warnings. The floods killed more than 130 people, including at least 36 children.

Concern was also raised that reactions emphasized national image over the human toll.
