Trump Stands By Calling Tim Walz ‘Seriously Retarded’ Over Somalian Welfare Scandal

President Donald Trump called Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz “retarded” on Sunday after the welfare fraud scandal involving Somalians in his state came to light.

Trump wrote in a Nov. 27 Truth Social post that Walz is “seriously retarded” for doing nothing to stop Somalians from funneling taxpayer funds to the Islamic terror organization, Al-Shabaab. The president doubled down on his remark on Air Force One, stating that there is “something wrong” with Walz.

“I think there’s something wrong with him, absolutely,” Trump told reporters. “You know what? I think there’s something wrong with him. Anybody that would do what he did, anybody that would allow those people into his state and pay billions of dollars out to Somalia. We give billions of dollars to Somalia. It’s not even a country because it doesn’t function like a country. It’s got a name, but it doesn’t function like a country. Yeah, there’s something wrong with Walz.”

Somalians in Minnesota channeled an “untold millions” of dollars to the terrorist group responsible for the deaths of at least 11 Americans in several attacks in East Africa. A member of the group was found guilty in November 2024 of plotting a 9/11 style plane attack in the U.S.
