Tim Walz Reveals What Trump Said to Him on Their Phone Call | Donald Trump spent the call, which was supposed to be about lowering tensions in Minnesota, bragging about his military operation in Venezuela.
Tim Walz Reveals What Trump Said to Him on Their Phone Call | Donald Trump spent the call, which was supposed to be about lowering tensions in Minnesota, bragging about his military operation in Venezuela.
>Speaking to MS NOW Wednesday night, Walz described his conversation with Trump earlier this week, which the president had claimed was a “very good call.” Walz had a different take.
>“He told me that he doesn’t understand what’s wrong with Minnesota. ‘I don’t know what’s wrong with you people,’” Walz recounted.
>“And he told me, ‘Well look, Tim, we did this in New Orleans, we did it in Louisville. There’s no problems.’ And I said, ‘You didn’t kill anybody in Louisville or New Orleans, and the operation here looks very different from that.’
>“And then he told me it was successful in Venezuela,” Walz said.
>“I’m not sure what gave him the indication that at this point in time, what’s happening to my state, that I’m interested in Venezuela. But he told me how well that went,” he said, adding that the remark was “strange.”
>“He saw an operation in Venezuela against a foreign nation in the same context he saw an operation against a U.S. state, a U.S. city.”

wtf was trump even doing talking about venezuela in a call about minnesota protests lmao like i get 2026 is weird but it’s almost as if his brain just flits to whatever headline makes him look strong instead of actually dealing with the crisis at hand. walz is basically like “we’ve had two americans killed, this isn’t louisville or NOLA” and trump’s like “we totally did a thing in a foreign country and it was GREAT.” reality is this is just ego politics and spectacle over actual policy or de-escalation.

He is a man with filled with personality disorders who has zero ability to control his thoughts.
Can you imagine Bill Maher having this conversation with Trump. He would would be so bedazzled with how nice and cordial Trump was and we even talked about Venezulia after the discussion about MN. He was so open and friendly

Hopefully there will be some power check soon. This has gotten out of hand.

trump always lies about awesome phone conversations he’s had with leaders and very few have come forward to talk about the true nature of these calls. i wish more would have done it before now.

The only thing surprising here is that the conversation only got that weird, could have been so much worse

Trump is a bragger, most of the time it’s lies. I factchecked the price of gas in Iowa yesterday, he said it was$1.85. NOT

Equating a military operation in another country to putting his shock troops in our own boarder. He sees the both in the same light.

Options:
1) He’s cooked. His brain is stew.
2) He is lying and playing dumb.
3) He isn’t in control of a fucking thing, Miller and Noem are running the ICE-capades and feeding him whatever they like to keep him on board.
While I think 1 & 2 are true, this screams “I AM THE AUTOPEN” to me. I think he is clueless to the point that he is getting news on what this own administration is doing more from Fox News than cabinet meetings.
He’s checked out.

Idk if Trump is smart enough to imply a threat like this. Unfortunately for him ICE is NOT Delta. No, he would not be able to get the military to do this.

Grandpa Trump does nothing but watch TV, play golf, shit his pants and use twitter.

Every person ever needs to record their communication with any member of this administration. Release it online as soon as it’s lied about.

Because trump is of the idea he could do that to people here in the US. Its a veiled threat.

Over and over again I say I can’t believe how fucked we are, but I’m here to say that I can’t believe how fucked we are. This country is fractured in a way that may be impossible to heal

Maybe Trump was dropping a hint that they’ll take Walz out be helicopter some night, not that Walz is a drug kingpin or has broken the law in any way.

I commend Walz for having the strength not to just hang up.

He’s bragging about making people throw up blood with radiation frequency weapons while ignoring everything he’s doing in his own country, he’s malevolently insane.

Walz: “Hello”?
Trump: “So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ’em. ‘Gimme five bees for a quarter,’ you’d say. Now where were we? Oh, yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time”

Waltz’s heart is in the right place. I don’t question his integrity, but I believe he’s too timid for the situation at hand. Trump has what is essentially a private Army in his streets, yet Waltz is on the internet telling people to be angry, but to be peaceful and not give in to the violence.
He needs to enable the citizens to engage, let people know they won’t be prosecuted for protesting, no interference by the state or local police. Let Trump try to play the national guard card. Better to learn just where people’s loyalty is invested and rip off the bandaid.
Beyond Waltz, Trump has ICE in various other states, and the democratic governors have state police suppressing the protests and protecting ICE operations. Looking at you, Illinois. It’s completely ah-hoc.
The opposition party needs to make up its mind. Are we fighting fascism or not? Should I care…or not? I’m not showing up to a protest against the Feds only to get pepper sprayed by state police.

Did he just give a subtle threat to kidnap the governor of Minnesota similar to Venezuela?

Well, you see…
The US Dept. of State has been in discussions with a group in Alberta, Canada that wants Alberta to secede from Canada.
So it’s only natural that someone in MN might want MN to secede from the USA.
So 47 mentioning VZ to Walz is simply a kind of a “That’s a nice place you’ve got there, it would be a pity if MN seceded and I had to invade and whatnot…”.
