In a twist that’s grabbing headlines, President Donald Trump is stepping into the Minnesota spotlight, blaming Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for a recent shooting incident. The shooting resulted in the death of a local man, Alex Pretti, allegedly by federal agents, and Trump claims the lack of protection for ICE agents in the state played a pivotal role. In his usual hurried style, he took to Truth Social to air his grievances, questioning where local police were when all this unfolded.
Not one to hold back, Trump accused Walz and Frey of effectively inciting insurrection with their rhetoric and argued that their inaction put local residents at risk. This uproar didn’t just stop at social media; protests soon erupted on the streets, leading to additional chaos with the authorities. With Walz calling in the National Guard in response to the escalating situation, it seems Minnesota is feeling the heat from all sides. Who knew a shooting could be the catalyst for such high-stakes political drama?
