Trump is getting into another back and forth with nonsense Democrats.
Former President Donald J. Trump has once again proven he’s not playing politics as usual. When asked if he planned to call Minnesota’s Democrat Governor Tim Walz after a weekend of deadly political violence, Trump didn’t hesitate.
“I’m not calling him. He’s whacked out. Total waste of time,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One Tuesday evening.
Trump Refuses to Coddle Failed Democrat Leadership
This stunning response followed the tragic assassination of State Representative Melissa Hortman and the attempted assassination of State Senator John Hoffman. Both incidents occurred just days earlier and have rocked Minnesota to its core.
Authorities confirmed that the shooter, Vance Luther Boelter, impersonated law enforcement and targeted multiple elected officials in a politically motivated rampage. Hortman and her husband were killed. Hoffman and his wife were left seriously injured.
Despite the violence, Trump made it clear that Governor Walz’s incompetence does not earn him sympathy points.
“Why would I call him? He doesn’t have a clue. He’s a mess,” Trump said. “I could call and say ‘Hi, how you doing?’ But why waste time?”
Democrats Play Politics — Trump Leads with Strength
Walz, a longtime Trump critic and Kamala Harris’s former running mate in the failed 2024 election, responded by delivering more political rhetoric. In a public statement, Walz described Trump as a “tyrant” and called on Democrats to “bully the s*** out of him.”
This is the same governor who now expects a courtesy call in the wake of a tragedy under his watch.
Meanwhile, Trump issued a firm statement following the attack, declaring:
“This horrific violence will not be tolerated in the United States of America.”
He also praised the state, saying:
“Minnesota is a truly great place with great people.”
JD Vance Steps Up While Biden Tries to Score Points
While Trump held the line, Vice President JD Vance reached out to Minnesota officials to coordinate federal efforts — a strong show of leadership from the America First administration. Former President Joe Biden, by contrast, reportedly called Walz “right away” to score political points.
Yet Trump’s stance resonated with Americans who are tired of weak Democrat leadership and performative unity gestures that solve nothing.
A Governor Who Failed His People
As legal proceedings against Boelter begin, the people of Minnesota are left asking: How did things get this far?
Walz’s track record includes rising crime, soft-on-crime policies, and escalating political division. His inflammatory rhetoric — including recent comments urging Democrats to get “meaner” — has only poured gasoline on the fire.
President Trump’s refusal to placate failed leaders sends a clear message: it’s time for accountability, not political theater.
