Tim Walz Sides With Trump

Nobody expected to hear this.

Walz Admits Offshoring and Lost Jobs Were Real — But Tries to Dismiss Tariffs That Protect American Workers

In a stunning admission, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz — a lifelong Democrat — publicly acknowledged what millions of Americans have known for decades: President Donald Trump was right about the devastating loss of U.S. manufacturing.

“Trump’s not wrong that we had manufacturing gutted,” Walz said during a Sunday interview on CNN. “We saw offshoring. People my age were told there weren’t going to be any manufacturing jobs — go to college and rack up student debt.”

That single statement captures what working-class Americans across the country have experienced for years: bad trade deals, shuttered factories, and an economy that left them behind.

✅ Trump’s Tariff Policies Put America First

Despite conceding that Trump was right about the problem, Walz quickly tried to dismiss the solution — tariffs. The very same tariffs that protected American steel, auto, and tech workers from unfair competition and predatory trade practices, especially from China.

But not everyone in the Democrat camp agrees.

Even United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain, traditionally a Democrat supporter, came out in support of Trump-style tariffs, calling them:

“A long-overdue shift away from a harmful economic framework that has devastated the working class.”

It’s a rare but powerful sign that even union leaders are breaking with the globalist agenda and recognizing that Trump’s America First approach actually works.

✅ Democrats Can’t Explain the Past 30 Years

Governor Walz, trying to walk a tightrope, admitted that both parties have failed the American worker.

“We made decisions over the last 30 to 40 years that I don’t think helped America,” he said. “And we don’t offer [working Americans] a solution, so it looks like we’re not hearing them.”

And that’s the crux of it: Trump heard them. He acted. He slapped tariffs on China, renegotiated NAFTA, and rebuilt American pride in industries long written off by elites in both parties.

✅ Key Takeaways for Conservatives

• Trump recognized the pain in America’s heartland — and did something about it.
• Tariffs work when they’re targeted to protect American workers and industries.
• Even Democrat allies like the UAW are praising Trump’s economic policies.
• Democrats like Walz are admitting failure but offering no real alternative.

💬 Final Thought

As the 2024 election cycle heats up, Americans should remember who talked a big game — and who actually stood up for American jobs. The truth is clear: President Donald J. Trump was right, and even his political opponents are starting to admit it.
