Minnesota’s governor needed just five words to flip the script on Donald Trump. One late-night rant, one slur, and suddenly the question wasn’t about Tim Walz at all — it was about the 79-year-old president’s brain. An MRI, a mystery October hospital visit, and a silence from the White House that’s only making things wors…
Trump’s Thanksgiving message on Truth Social began as another angry broadside about immigration and Minnesota’s Somali community. It quickly turned personal when he used a slur for people with intellectual disabilities to attack Gov. Tim Walz. Within hours, Walz’s icy response — “Release the MRI results” — reframed the entire exchange, shifting attention from Trump’s insult to Trump’s unexplained medical history and October MRI at Walter Reed.
Official summaries describe Trump’s health as “exceptional,” touting a cardiac age younger than his years. Yet the lack of detail about the MRI, the off-schedule exam, and a recent diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency leave room for speculation. Walz’s repost of Trump’s late-night rant, laced with racist claims about Somali refugees and Rep. Ilhan Omar, underscored a deeper tension: a president escalating fear, and a governor betting that transparency — especially about health and truth — is where this fight will ultimately be decided.
