Tim Walz: Trump ‘understands belonging’

Original Article

Posted By: snakeoil, 6/3/2025 12:34:14 AM

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) argued in a recent podcast appearance that part of President Trump’s strength lies in his ability to foster a sense of community, especially among young men. The comments from Walz, former Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 running mate, came during an appearance on the “Grounded” podcast hosted by former Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) and journalist Maritsa Georgiou. Asked by Georgiou about the GOP’s efforts to reach high school students, Walz noted Trump has excelled in reaching Americans who might feel disconnected from one another in an increasingly fragmented society.

Comments:

Tampon Timmy just doesn't understand why people voted for President Trump. One of many reasons I voted for Our President is he gets things done. He sealed to border in a few months. That more than justifies my vote.

Looks like Slampon Timmy has a credibility problem. Nothing he says is true, nor is it intelligent. SO Tell us Democraps, why do you keep selling these MORONS as though they can think?

As noted, he is a blithering idiot. But I also detect a “winning formula.” To wit: you have a high school (or college-age) son who is smart enough to tell you that need to reach young people, and then tells you HOW to do it. Only problem: Madam Tim is a copy cat and thinks his son is Barron Trump.

It is a stupid message for stupid people. "He gave us a hat." Really Walz? It reminds me of the stupid people who voted for Obama: "Why do you support Obama?" "He gave us a phone!" "Where did he get the money?" "I don't know, out of his stash?"

You would think the 'Rat leadership, whoever that may be, would tell this nitwit to shut up and go away. He certainly doesn't do them any favors. But then again, let him continue to scream out his insanity, it seems to be what their moronic voters want to hear.

It's far more than that Tim. Trump's statements come from a genuine love of Country and the American People. You Democrats are dishonest, selfish, hypocritical America haters. Trump has the personal courage and staying power to outlast your lies and bring the truth in front of the people. That's why they respond to him. Admitting that will be fatal to your prospects so you continue to the lie.

Timmy Walz is overly interested in young men, as demonstrated during his years as a teacher. He can't define what a man is but he wants to become one very badly. It's not working for him. The image of Elmer Fudd carrying a shotgun and looking for wabbits will haunt him forever.

Tim Walz is living in fantasy land if he thinks he could be elected President. We can only hope the Dems are dumb enough to run him with maybe that equally intelligent Jasmine as his running mate. That's about as appealing as the Harris/Walz ticket. It should spell the end of the Democrat party forever.

Waltz: "in an increasingly fragmented society". That's the anarchists' goal, isn't it? To get the public to fight group against group and break the culture down.

Trump-hating Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett left a reporter in complete disbelief after saying Republicans privately expressed admiration for her. The firebrand progressive made the stunning claim during an interview Sunday with WFAA political reporter Jason Whitely, as the 44-year-old looks fill her party's top job on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee. 'It's become clear, as I have been out in various cities throughout this country, where I've had Republicans walk up to me and tell me how much they like me,' Crockett said, after being asked about recent polling that suggests she could run for higher office in 2028.

A recent Democratic ad campaign claiming President Donald Trump’s tariffs have caused prices to “soar” is undercut by recent data painting a much rosier picture of the economy than Democrats’ talking points suggest. House Majority Forward (HMF), the nonprofit arm of a House Democratic leadership-aligned super PAC, announced a series of ads Wednesday targeting 26 House Republicans for supporting the president’s tariffs, which HMF claims has caused prices to skyrocket. However, several markers of inflation fell to four-year-lows in April while Americans’ wages are rising faster than the rate of inflation, the opposite of a trend that occurred during the Biden administration.

Dr. Mehmet Oz, President Donald Trump’s administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), suggested in an interview with Politico’s Dasha Burns that the president’s “one big, beautiful bill” will not cut Medicaid. “We’re not cutting Medicaid,” Oz told Burns, adding that both his and Trump’s goal is to “save Medicaid.” The prominent administration official’s statement comes as Democrats allege that Trump’s sweeping tax and spending package would cut the six-decade-old entitlement program — and some Republican lawmakers have expressed concerns as well.

US President Donald Trump has issued a pardon to a former Virginia sheriff who was convicted on fraud and bribery charges. A jury found former Culpeper County Sheriff Scott Jenkins guilty of accepting more than $75,000 (£55,000) in bribes last December, in exchange for making several businessmen into law enforcement officers without them being trained. Jenkins, a long-time supporter of Trump, was sentenced in March to 10 years in prison. He was set to report to jail on Tuesday, but due to Trump's pardon, he will not spend a single day behind bars.

In February, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem terminated Venezuela’s 2023 designation for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), a temporary immigration status granted when foreign nationals cannot return to their home countries because of safety concerns, such as ongoing armed conflict, environmental disasters, or epidemics. A TPS designation protects individuals from deportation and allows them to apply for authorization to work in the United States.

Former Acting US Secret Service Director Ron Rowe has finally resigned from the agency. Earlier this year President Trump announced Sean Curran, one of the agents who surrounded him following the Butler assassination attempt, as the new Secret Service Director. Ron Rowe who served as the acting Secret Service Director after Kim Cheatle resigned last summer remained on payroll as a “senior advisor” for several months. Rowe is a typical Washington bureaucrat who led the bureau before the second assassination attempt on Trump’s life during the 2024 Campaign. Director Rowe also was caught in a blatant lie after President Trump was shot in the ear in Butler, Pennsylvania.

In a world seemingly gone mad, this is welcome news. “The total number of alt-energy rejections or restrictions now exceeds 1,000 — it’s 1,011 to be exact,” says energy author Robert Bryce, who operates a database that shows 814 U.S rejections of solar, wind and battery projects.
