“Gov. Walz knows how bullies operate.” [ Jennifer Brooks; Minnesota Star Tribune; 11/29/25]:
1] “Trump’s words and deeds – the time he mocked a reporter with with a physical disability; the times in recent weeks that he called women “stupid,” “ugly,” and “piggy” – tend to get shrugged off as Trump being Trump.”
“This is not both-sidesism,” Walz said. “This is clearly one side – Donald Trump – hat is clearly trying to divide this country and thinks that it’s beneficial to him, politically.”
2] “There’s a pattern to Trump’s holiday greetings: Subject. + verb +. insult.”

3] “Trump’s tradition of wrapping holiday greetings around insults dates back at least to Memorial Day. 2015: “I would like to wish everyone, including all haters and losers [ of which, sadly, there are many ] a truly happy and enjoyable Memorial Day!” “Mother’s Day? “Happy Mother’s Day to ALL, in particular the Mothers, Wives and Lovers of the Radical Left Fascists, Marists, and Communists who are doing everything within their power to destroy and obliterate our once great Country.” “Christmas. 2024: “Go To Hell!”
4] “People who do things like this, you don’t associate with,’ Walz said. “I really wish America would start to understand that this has nothing to do with conservative tax policy, it has nothing to do with climate change. “It has everything to do with – at heart – just being cruel,’ he added. “The cruelty is at the center of the agenda.”
