In a Thanksgiving message posted on Truth Social, former President Donald Trump launched a series of inflammatory attacks, primarily targeting Minnesota officials. Trump referred to Governor Tim Walz as “seriously retarded” and accused him of failing to address the influx of Somali migrants. He also suggested Representative Ilhan Omar “probably came into the USA illegally.” This barrage of criticism followed Trump’s vow to “permanently pause migration” and came after the shooting of two National Guard members by an Afghan national.

Trump rages over ‘seriously retarded Governor’ Tim Walz in furious Thanksgiving message, and honestly, where do we even begin? It’s almost a tradition now, isn’t it? To expect some sort of explosive, unhinged message from him during the holidays. And Thanksgiving, apparently, was no exception. This year, though, it seemed to hit a new low, even for him.
The core of the issue stems from a social media post, which, due to the use of a particularly offensive slur, couldn’t be posted in its original form in some places. The edited version reveals the true extent of the vitriol. The message is a torrent of grievances, starting with broad accusations about immigration and then descending into a specific attack on Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The language used towards Governor Walz is shocking, deeply personal, and, frankly, appalling. It’s a blatant display of disrespect, laced with ableist language that is completely unacceptable.
The message itself is a rambling, unfocused screed. It touches on immigration, crime, and the perceived decline of the United States. It’s a chaotic mix of fact, opinion, and outright misinformation. The accusations against the Governor of Minnesota are not just an insult, but a demonstration of the former president’s penchant for targeted attacks and personalized insults. The post singles out Ilhan Omar, another target of the former president’s ire, and demonstrates how he often uses divisive rhetoric and personal attacks to incite his base.
It’s hard to ignore the broader context of the message. It’s a perfect example of what many people perceive as his underlying strategy: to divide, to sow fear, and to stoke resentment. The comments included point out the racist and xenophobic undertones of the message. The post paints a picture of a country under siege, overrun by those who are perceived as “other.” It’s a dangerous narrative, one that has been used throughout history to justify discrimination and violence.
There is a sense of genuine concern expressed in the comments surrounding the former president’s mental state. The use of slurs and the unhinged nature of the message has prompted many to question his fitness for any position of power. Some people openly wonder whether someone with such volatile tendencies should be entrusted with any authority. The language and tone of the message seem to reflect a decline in mental acuity, fueling questions about his ability to make rational, informed decisions.
The reaction to the Thanksgiving message is also a reflection of the deep divisions within the country. Some commentators express outrage and disgust, while others shrug it off as par for the course. Many believe it’s simply a reflection of who the former president has always been. It’s clear that he consistently chooses to incite instead of unite. This highlights a fundamental difference in how people perceive him, and how they perceive the role of a leader.
The comments also reflect on how Trump’s supporters see him. They see his divisiveness as a strength, a sign of someone who is willing to fight for them, to stand up against the perceived enemies of America. For them, the message is a validation of their own fears and prejudices. It’s a way of signaling to his base that he hasn’t changed, that he’s still fighting for them.
The comments express how the man and his actions are an insult to the office he once held. The constant barrage of negativity, the personal attacks, and the blatant disregard for decency are seen as a stain on the nation. The comments suggest that many are tired of the chaos and the drama. They long for a leader who can bring people together, who can speak with dignity and respect.
Ultimately, the former president’s Thanksgiving message is more than just a rant. It’s a window into his worldview, his character, and his political strategy. It’s a stark reminder of the deep divisions that exist within American society, and the challenges that lie ahead in the fight for a more just and equitable future.
