President Donald Trump said he has no plans to call Minnesota Gov. Tim Waltz after the politically motivated shootings of two state politicians in his state.
“I won’t call him,” Trump spoke to reporters in the Air Force on June 16th. “I think the Governor of Minnesota is being hit very hard.
“I can call him, hello, how are you? The guy has no clue, he’s confused,” Trump said. “So I was able to call him kindly, why wasting my time?”
It is common for political leaders to call each other to express their appreciation and help after a national trauma or natural disaster. Former President Joe Biden and Vice President JD Vance called Waltz on Saturday, and Ontario Prime Minister Doug Ford called Waltz on Monday.
Waltz was the vice presidential candidate when Trump defeated former Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024.
Authorities say the man who was shot dead by a police officer shot and killed Minnesota Sen. Melissa Hortman (state Capitol) and her husband Mark, causing injury to the state senator and his wife early Saturday. The accused gunman, 57-year-old Vanceluservoelter, was captured late Sunday night.
On Sunday, Trump denounced the violence, but in an interview with ABC News’ Rachel Scott, he was called the “worst governor” and “worst incompetent” Waltz.
