After holding a massive rally on Long Island, New York, yesterday, former President Donald Trump, who is now a professional assassination survivor, spoke with Fox News’ Gutfeld. There were some excellent clips from the show, but the one that had me rolling was this story about the only time Trump spoke with Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’ running mate.
“He’s a strange guy,” Trump said. But he did recollect this hilarious story about the Minnesota Democrat. It was during the 2020 election, around the time Gov. Walz was allowing leftist lunatics to burn down his state post-George Floyd. Walz called Trump, concerned that people with American flags were gathering near his house.
President Trump says that the only time he has ever spoken to Timothy Walz was when he became scared when a group of protesters with American flags surrounded the Minnesota Governor's mansion and asked President Trump to save him.😂 pic.twitter.com/cWHHVgDbBe

Trump joked about whether this was a good or bad thing.
“I think they’re going to attack me,” Walz said to Trump. That’s when the Minnesota Democrat asked the president to say that they’re sort of friends of something.
“I don’t even know him, but that’s the only time I ever spoke to him,” said the former president. Trump said if you look bad, long ago, there are tweets where he put out a statement declaring Walz to be a good man and that he’s on our side or something.
Again, Trump didn’t know him but didn’t want Walz to get hurt.
“And everybody put down their flags, and they left; he [Walz] said it was a miracle,” added Trump.
“Scared by the American flag,” responded a floored Gutfeld.
