During a flight back to Washington, following an early departure from the Group of 7 summit in Canada, former President Trump addressed reporters. He stated he had no intention of contacting Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Trump described Walz as "whacked out" and "a mess."
Trump explained his reasoning for not reaching out. He stated, "I don’t really call him," and further elaborated, "I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out, I’m not calling him. Why would I call him?”
This decision contrasts with the typical presidential response to tragedies. It is a common practice for presidents to contact state leaders to offer condolences and support following incidents like deadly shootings and other crises. The shootings in the Minneapolis suburbs resulted in the deaths of a Democratic lawmaker and her husband, while another lawmaker and his wife were seriously injured. When questioned about contacting Governor Walz, who was the Democratic vice-presidential nominee in 2024, Trump appeared uncertain.

A decent human being would have reached out, but Trump’s only concern is his ego. So toxic!

True leaders rise above personal attacks, while Trump just sinks lower. Disappointing.

He can’t even handle basic human decency. This is why we need new leadership, now more than ever.

Finally someone who isn’t afraid to call it like it is! Walz deserves criticism for his leadership.

Trump speaks his mind, and I respect that! Not everyone has to be politically correct.
