Man why’s Trump so afraid of Tim Waltz?
I know this is rhetorical but the answer is because Tom Walz is standing up against lawlessness and fascism.
Yeah, I think it’s also that he looks like them also scares the fuck out of Trump It’s ok to him when the browns and the poors are against him but a middle aged white guy? That looks wrong in Trumps head.
He isn't standing up to shit. He is stepping down.
"Every minute I spend defending my own political interests would be a minute I can’t spend defending the people of Minnesota against the criminals who prey on our generosity and the cynics who prey on our differences.”
While I don't pretend to know all the details, he was clearly already not seeking reelection before clashing with ICE.
Because Walz has at least one or two earnest bones in his body. That's not something he comes across when harassing spineless republicans.
He's a soft target who folds easily. Trump loves to bully this kind of person.
