UPDATE: Former President Donald Trump has launched a blistering attack on Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, criticizing his immigration policies in a fiery post on Truth Social. The remarks come in the wake of a tragic incident involving National Guardsmen in Washington, D.C., and have ignited immediate backlash from Walz and others.
In his post, Trump decried the costs of immigration, particularly focusing on refugees from Somalia in Minnesota. He claimed, “The official United States Foreign population stands at 53 million people, most of which are on welfare.” Trump characterized these immigrants as a burden on American citizens, emphasizing a need for “reverse migration” to address what he called the “leading cause of social dysfunction in America.”
The former president did not hold back, referring to Walz as the “seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota,” and accusing him of inaction due to “fear, incompetence, or both.” He also targeted Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, describing her as the “worst ‘Congressman/woman’ in our Country.”
Trump’s comments sparked outrage online, with critics pointing to the rising crime rate in Minnesota. One user quipped, “Tim Walz demanding Trump’s MRI while Minnesota’s crime rate keeps spiking is like the captain of the Titanic asking for the iceberg’s safety inspection report.”
In a swift response, Governor Walz defended himself against Trump’s slurs and called for the release of the president’s MRI results, stating, “It’s not even a good clapback.” His remarks highlight the tension and urgency surrounding the immigration debate, especially in light of recent events affecting state safety.
Trump’s post also outlined a controversial agenda, including a proposed pause on migration from all Third World countries and the removal of individuals deemed not beneficial to the U.S. He stated a commitment to end all federal benefits for noncitizens and to deport anyone who poses a public safety risk.
As the situation unfolds, political analysts are watching closely. The clash between Trump and Walz reflects a broader national debate on immigration policy and its implications for state and national security.
What happens next? Political dynamics in Minnesota may shift as both figures rally their bases. Walz’s response could define his leadership amidst rising tensions, while Trump’s criticisms may energize his supporters ahead of upcoming elections.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story as the political landscape continues to evolve.
