DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott also showered the president with praise for visiting disaster-stricken Kerr County one week after floods struck.
President Donald Trump's roundtable on the Texas floods drifted from disaster relief to flattery when he handed the mic to TV personality Dr. Phil McGraw. Reflecting on the 'collective consciousness' shared by the flood-hit communities of Kerr County, McGraw told Trump, 'It's so inspiring for you and the first lady to come here and share this and see the fiber of these communities. That's why they rally around you and everything that you stand for here, from the border to the disasters.' The former psychologist, a vocal Trump supporter who has frequently involved himself in the administration's affairs, continued lavishing praise on the president for fulfilling what is generally considered an important part of the job.
