Tim Walz Launches New Trump Attack

Minnesota’s Tim Walz Calls Trump a “Wannabe Dictator,” Urges Democrats to Get More Aggressive

As the 2024 presidential election approaches, Democrat leaders are ramping up their rhetoric—and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is leading the charge. Speaking at the South Carolina Democratic Party Convention over Memorial Day weekend, Walz demanded that Democrats adopt a more aggressive posture against former President Donald Trump and his conservative supporters.

Walz, a former contender for the Democratic vice presidential nomination, accused President Trump of being a “wannabe dictator,” a statement that drew both applause and backlash. But Walz didn’t back down.

“People say my words are mean,” he said. “Well, maybe it’s time for us to be a little meaner. Maybe it’s time to be more fierce, because we have to push back.”

His remarks reveal a growing trend among top Democrats: using inflammatory language to energize their base and demonize political opponents.

Maryland Governor Joins the Attack: “Trump Doesn’t Need the Constitution”

Governor Wes Moore of Maryland, another rising Democrat star, echoed Walz’s aggressive tone the night before at the Blue Palmetto Dinner—a major South Carolina Democrat fundraiser.

“Donald Trump doesn’t need a study to dismantle democracy,” Moore said. “He doesn’t need a white paper to start trade wars that raise the cost of virtually everything we use.”

Moore’s comments signal that Democrats are leaning into hardline messaging ahead of the election—despite polls showing growing dissatisfaction with the Biden administration’s handling of inflation, immigration, and foreign policy.

Democrats Look Ahead to 2028, But Keep Eyes on Trump

Although Moore denied any plans to run for president in 2028, his high-profile presence at multiple campaign-style events has party insiders buzzing. Both Moore and Walz appeared at Rep. Jim Clyburn’s annual fish fry—an event known to attract presidential hopefuls.

While speaking to Democrat activists, Walz made it clear that the groundwork for 2024 must start now.

“Donald Trump ran for president for four years after 2020. So did the Republican Party. Their school board members kept running. They never stopped,” he warned.

Conservative Response: Democrats Are Escalating Rhetoric Instead of Solving Real Problems

Many conservatives view this sharp shift in tone from Democrat leaders as a distraction from the Biden administration’s failures. With everyday Americans facing skyrocketing grocery prices, rising gas costs, and a worsening crisis at the southern border, Democrat officials are choosing name-calling over real solutions.

Instead of focusing on improving the economy, securing our borders, or restoring American energy independence, top Democrats are pushing for political warfare—targeting not just Donald Trump, but the millions of voters who still support him.

Bottom Line: As Democrats Turn Up the Heat, Conservatives Must Stay Focused

As the 2024 campaign heats up, Americans over 50—who remember a time of peace through strength and lower prices at the pump—will need to decide whether this new era of personal attacks and political bullying is what the country really needs.

With the economy on the line, our freedoms at risk, and global tensions escalating, many voters are turning back to the leadership and results of President Donald Trump.
