Yes, that’s a sitting governor talking about WWE-style fights with voters.
It didn’t take long for Peter Doocy — one of the few journalists who’s actually willing to confront power — to bring this up directly to Donald Trump at the White House.
Trump, never one to pull punches, fired back instantly.
“Well, he’s a loser, you know? I mean, the guy’s a loser. He lost an election. He played a part. You know, usually a Vice President doesn’t play a part, they say,” Trump told Doocy. “I think Tim played a part. I think he was so bad that he hurt her. But she hurt herself and [former President] Joe [Biden] hurt them both. They didn’t have a great group. But I would probably put him at the bottom of the group.”
For someone trying to build national credibility, being called a “loser” by Trump is not the endorsement you want.
Walz had been pitched as the Democrats’ secret weapon to win over men and blue-collar voters — but instead, he’s become a punchline. His record is shaky, his comments are reckless, and his attempts to relate to everyday Americans often backfire spectacularly.
Just look at his bizarre attempt to dunk on Elon Musk.
Speaking at a town hall in a GOP-leaning district, Walz mocked Tesla’s stock slump by saying: “Some of you know this. On the iPhone, they’ve got that little stock app. I added Tesla to it to give me a little boost during the day — $225 and dropping.”
The crowd laughed — but the joke was on Walz. It turns out Minnesota’s pension fund holds over a million shares of Tesla stock. Oops.
He quickly backpedaled, but the damage was done. Another unforced error from a man who’s increasingly proving he’s not ready for the big leagues.

Despite the gaffes, Walz isn’t backing down. He’s been flirting with another run for Governor, and he’s not hiding his ambition for 2028. In a recent interview with The New Yorker, he openly admitted he’d consider a presidential bid if the timing worked out.
To keep his name in the headlines, Walz has been making the rounds on left-wing podcasts and attending town halls in Republican-held areas. It’s a calculated move, meant to show he’s “taking on Trump.” But voters aren’t buying it.
Many Democrats are furious at Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and party brass for failing to stop Trump. Into that vacuum steps Walz — but instead of looking presidential, he looks petty.
While Trump continues to build momentum heading into 2024, Walz is stuck throwing empty punches in podcast interviews and walking back foolish comments that damage his own state’s finances.
If this is the best the Democrats have to offer for the next generation, they’re in serious trouble.
Tim Walz may want to play WWE politics, but the American people are looking for serious leadership — and they know a sideshow when they see one.
