Walz Comments on Trump Amid Death Rumors

Democrat Minnesota Governor Tim Walz stirred some controversy during a recent Labor Day picnic, suggesting there was “news” about President Donald Trump’s death. He referenced trending hashtags like #TrumpisDead and #WhereIstrump, which were tied to unfounded rumors circulating on social media.

Walz, along with some former vice presidential candidates, seemed to express a sort of glee at the idea that people were speculating about Trump’s demise. “You know, you’re bound to wake up and scroll through your feeds,” he remarked. “I’m just saying, there will be news one day.” It’s a bit unsettling how casually he approached such a serious topic.

As these rumors spread, Trump was actually spotted enjoying a day on the golf course with his granddaughter in Virginia. In fact, he had also participated in a lengthy interview discussing various issues, including plans regarding the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

Interestingly, Trump has faced two assassination attempts in his lifetime. The first took place in July 2024, when a shooter fired into a crowd, barely missing Trump. The second incident occurred in September 2024 at his golf club in Florida, where the Secret Service intercepted an armed individual hiding nearby.

Despite these serious threats, the left-leaning media and members of the Biden administration continue to label Trump as a “threat to democracy.” This ongoing narrative seems fueled by both the political climate and the dramatic nature of the assassination attempts.

Moreover, some Democrats have unleashed violent rhetoric against Trump and even Elon Musk, particularly after significant changes were made to the U.S. Agency for International Development. Their protests suggest a perception of being “at war” with Trump’s administration, raising the stakes in an already heated political atmosphere.

Walz’s office has yet to comment on his remarks or the situation surrounding them.
