Trump Doubles Down on Calling Tim Walz ‘Retarded’—This Time He Offers a Logical Explanation That Proves It’s Spot On (Video)
Donald Trump has never been one to backpedal, and his Thanksgiving Truth Social post calling Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz “seriously retarded” for letting Somali gangs overrun his state was no exception. It was blunt, it was brutal, and it hit like a sledgehammer—blasting Walz for doing “nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both” while Ilhan Omar “hatefully complains about our Country.” The post went viral, with Trump cross-posting to X, because when he wants to stir the pot, he doesn’t hold back.
Walz didn’t take it lying down. He shot back with a “badge of honor” quip and a weak MRI pivot, suggesting Trump get scanned for his “cognitive decline.” It was the kind of snark that plays well in blue bubbles but falls flat under scrutiny.

Enter Trump’s clapback to reporters: REPORTER: “Do you stand by calling Tim Walz ‘retarded?'”
PRESIDENT TRUMP: “Yeah! I think there’s something wrong with him. Absolutely. Sure. You have a problem with it?” 😂
“Anybody that would do what he did – allow those [Somalians] into his state, and pay BILLIONS out to Somalia…it’s not even a country, it doesn’t function like a country!”
“There’s something WRONG with WALZ!”
Then the genius troll: “It wasn’t on the brain, because I took a cognitive test and ACED it. Which YOU would be incapable of doing. And you too! Goodbye everybody!”

Why does it land so hard? Because Trump’s not just insulting—he’s pointing to Walz’s real failures. Minnesota’s drowning in crime from Somali gangs, welfare fraud funneling millions to Al-Shabaab terrorists, and Walz’s “progressive” policies that prioritize migrants over citizens. The governor’s response? Deflection and denial, the hallmark of a leader more worried about optics than outcomes. Trump’s “retarded” jab cuts through because it’s backed by the mess Walz created—unvetted Afghans like the D.C. shooter, skyrocketing assaults, and a state where locals lock their doors while illegals roam free.
The left calls it “ableist,” but Walz’s track record speaks louder: botched responses, identity politics over safety. Trump’s no-apology style? It’s why we voted for him—raw, unfiltered truth that calls out the incompetence.
