Trump’s words are causing an uproar.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is facing fresh backlash—and this time, it’s coming from inside his own household. His 24-year-old daughter, Hope Walz, erupted in a profanity-filled TikTok rant after President Donald Trump blasted the Democrat governor’s handling of the massive Somali food-aid fraud scandal that rocked the state.
Her video went viral almost instantly before she hurriedly deleted it.
Hope Walz Launches Into Meltdown After Trump’s Criticism
In her emotional tirade, Hope Walz claimed that Trump’s comments created a “storm” of criticism aimed at her family—especially her younger brother, Gus. She said her family tries to “be the bigger people,” but insisted that Trump supporters were targeting them unfairly.
“You can say what you want about me or my parents,” she said, “but when it comes to my brother, absolutely not.”
Hope accused critics of reviving insults her brother faced last year and even claimed a driver yelled slurs outside their home—an allegation her father repeated in recent interviews.
But Here’s What the Media Won’t Highlight
While Hope delivered her emotional message, she avoided mentioning the centerpiece of Trump’s criticism: The largest Pandemic-era fraud scandal in America—over $1 billion stolen from Minnesota taxpayers.
Dozens of individuals, many tied to Somali-run nonprofits, were charged with funneling taxpayer funds into luxury cars, foreign property, and even, according to investigators, terrorist groups like al-Shabaab.
President Trump has repeatedly said Walz failed in his duty to protect Minnesota families, calling the situation an “outrageous collapse of leadership.”
Trump Doubles Down: Walz Allowed Minnesota to Be “Taken Advantage Of”
After his Thanksgiving message criticizing Walz, President Trump reaffirmed his position:
“I think there’s something wrong with him. Anybody who would allow that level of fraud—and allow those people into his state—has serious problems,” Trump told reporters.
Trump also blasted the billions in American aid that continues flowing to Somalia, arguing the country “doesn’t function like a real nation” and questioning why Minnesota’s leadership continues to support such policies.
Walz Family Focuses on Rhetoric—Not the $1 Billion Fraud
Gov. Walz has said he is “deeply concerned” by the rhetoric surrounding the controversy and highlighted his son’s learning challenges, describing them as his “super power.” But critics argue that the governor and his family are deflecting attention away from the undeniable reality:
More than a billion dollars vanished under their watch.
Minnesota families are demanding answers—not emotional TikTok videos.
The Bigger Picture for 2025
As President Trump continues to expose mismanagement and corruption in Democrat-run states, the Walz family’s reaction has only fueled more questions about leadership, accountability, and the future direction of Minnesota.
For now, the governor’s daughter may be the one yelling on TikTok—but the scandal she avoided mentioning remains the real story.
