President Donald Trump didn’t back down on his Thanksgiving attack against Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz when he called his “seriously retarded.”
The name calling continued Sunday as Trump talked with reporters on Air Force One when Trump said there was “something wrong” with the Democratic governor, per Mediaite.
The conversation started when a reporter asked, “You mentioned Tim Walz and you called him what many Americans do find an offensive word, ‘retarded.’ Do you stand by that claim of calling Tim Walz retarded?”
“Yeah, I think there’s something wrong with him,” Trump answered. “Absolutely. Sure. You have a problem with it? 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,” Trump added.
Listen:
Trump posted to Truth Social Thursday and described Walz as “seriously retarded.”
“Hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for ‘prey’ as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone,” wrote Trump. “The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both.”
Walz responded by stating Trump needed to release his MRI results — something Trump is not against.
“They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached. Absolutely perfect. If you want to have it released, I’ll release it,” Trump said.
Trump was not sure where on his body the MRI was taken when asked by a reported.
“What part of the body was the MRI looking at?” the reporter asked.
“I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it. I got a perfect mark which you would be incapable of doing,” Trump said.
