Tim Walz reignited the simmering questions about Donald Trump’s health made all the more intense after he claimed he got an MRI at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in early October
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has hit back at Trump after the president insulted him with a slur for intellectually disabled people while pledging to “permanently pause migration” from poorer countries in a scathing late-night social media post.
Trump’s lengthy tirade followed Wednesday’s shooting of two National Guard members deployed to patrol Washington DC.
Trump alleged immigrants from Somalia are “completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota” as he called the Democratic vice presidential nominee last year Walz “seriously re*****d.”
Hitting back at the President, Walz once again brought up simmering questions about Trump’s health. Sharing an X post of Trump’s attack, Walz wrote: “Release the MRI results.”

With it he highlights an uncomfortable truth for MAGA – Trump’s age. Next year he will be 80, and in January this year he became the oldest person ever to be inaugurated into the office of President.
Trump revealed he had undergone magnetic resonance imaging at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in early October. In a summary after the tests, the doctor did not mention the president had an MRI scan and contained few other details.
“I have no idea what they analyzed,” Trump later told reporter. “But whatever they analyzed, they analyzed it well, and they said that I had as good a result as they’ve ever seen.”
A 29-year-old Afghan national who assisted the CIA during the Afghanistan War faces charges in connection with the shooting. The suspect immigrated through a program designed to relocate those who aided American forces following the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
“Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. “Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for – You won’t be here for long!”.
Trump’s proposal to halt immigration would represent a significant shift for a country that has historically prided itself on welcoming immigrants. Elected on a pledge to tackle illegal migration, Trump’s raids and deportations have shaken communities nationwide as construction sites and schools have become targets.
The threat of increased deportations could pose serious economic risks, as America’s foreign-born workforce comprises nearly 31 million jobs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The president claimed on Truth Social that “most” foreign-born U.S. residents “are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels” while blaming them for crime across the country that is predominantly committed by U.S. citizens.
The belief that immigration fuels crime “continues to falter under the weight of the evidence,” according to a review of academic literature last year in the Annual Review of Criminology.
“With few exceptions, studies conducted at both the aggregate and individual levels demonstrate that high concentrations of immigrants are not associated with increased levels of crime and delinquency across neighborhoods and cities in the United States,” it said.
