Donald Trump is standing by his (incredibly offensive and needless) slur. The President of the United States was anything but thankful on Thanksgiving when he took to his Truth Social platform to share a lengthy late-night rant, in which he used a slur to describe Tim Walz! In his post on Thursday, Trump wrote: "The seriously r******* Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both" Though, of course, he DIDN'T censor himself. Yeah, never cool. No matter how much these people try to cling to it, it'll never be a good look. Just sayin'! Related: Internet Thinks Trump Is Copying Zohran Mamdani's Style After Meeting! See it for yourself: When asked about his beyond disrespectful use of language by a reporter on Sunday, Trump defended himself in a clip shared by the White House itself. The reporter pointed out: "You mentioned Tim Walz and you called him - what many Americans do find an offensive word - r*******." The Republican, who was on his way back to DC after spending the holiday in Florida, saw nothing wrong with it. He didn't even flinch when asked, immediately clapping back: "Yeah, I think there's something wrong with him, absolutely, sure. I think there's something wrong with him." FFS. He went on: "Anybody that would do what he did, anybody that would allow those people into a state and pay billions of dollars [to] Somalia - we give billions of dollars to Somalia." Trump, who also called him "incompetent" while chatting with more reporters on Sunday, doubled down: "It's not even a country, because it doesn't function like a country. It's got a name, but it doesn't function like a country. Yeah, there's something wrong with Walz." Sigh. In response, Walz reposted Trump's Truth Social post on Thursday via X (Twitter), reacting: "Release the MRI results." Ha! For real. Speaking to NBC News' Meet the Press, the former Vice President candidate slammed Donny's use of the "damaging" and "hurtful" word: "Donald Trump insulting me is a badge of honor for me, but I think we all know, as both as [an] educator for a couple of decades and as a parent, using that term is just so damaging. It's hurtful." It's especially hurtful considering Tim's son Gus has a non-verbal learning disorder, ADHD, and anxiety, qualities his father has always called his "super power." So, Trump's encouragement of such harmful rhetoric aimed at someone who's deeply familiar with how cruel the world can be is incredibly hateful! See his latest comments: Thoughts?? Share 'em (below).
