Tim Walz: Trump Is “Not Normal,” “Not Healthy,” “Fading Physically,” “Throwing Around Slurs”
Minnesota Democrat Gov. Tim Walz responds to President Trump calling him “seriously retarded” during an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
KRISTEN WELKER: Well, Governor, let me have you weigh in on this because part of your initial response to President Trump’s post was to call for him to release the results of his MRI. And I want to give you a chance to give our viewers exactly a sense of what you mean. What exactly were you suggesting by that, Governor? GOV. TIM WALZ: Well, here we got a guy on Thanksgiving, where we spent time with our families, we ate, we played Yahtzee, we cheered for football, or whatever. This guy is apparently in a room, ranting about everything else. This is not normal behavior. It is not healthy. And presidents, throughout time, have released a couple things. They’ve released their tax returns, not Donald Trump. And they’ve released their medical records, not Donald Trump. And look, the MRI is one thing. But I think what’s most concerning about this is, as your viewers out there are listening, has anyone in the history of the world ever had an MRI assigned to them and have no idea what it was for, as he says? So, look, it’s clear the president’s fading physically. I think the mental capacity, again, ranting, you know, crazily at midnight on Thanksgiving about everything else, there are reasons for us to be concerned. This is a guy that randomly says the airspace over Venezuela is closed. He’s ruminating on if you could win a nuclear war. Look, this is a serious position. It’s the most powerful position in the world. And we have someone, at midnight, throwing around slurs that demonize our children. And at the time, he’s not solving any of the problems. So I am deeply concerned that he is incapable of doing the job.
