Trump Doubles Down on Tim Walz Criticism After Minnesota Fraud Scandal [WATCH]

President Trump is standing by his description of Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as “seriously retarded,” saying Sunday night that “there’s something wrong with him.”

Trump, 79, doubled down days after first using the phrase in a social media post about immigration, accusing Minnesota leaders of allowing “hundreds of thousands of Somali migrants” into the state.

“I think there’s something wrong with him. Absolutely,” Trump told reporters while returning to Washington, D.C., after Thanksgiving at Mar-a-Lago.

“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.”

“There is something wrong with Walz,” he added.

Trump initially accused Walz — now the 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee — of letting Somali migrants dominate his “once great state.”

“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,” he wrote on TRUTH Social late Thursday.

“The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both,” Trump posted.
