Trump reveals why Tim Walz is a ‘shocking pick’ and hints he is worse than socialist senator

Donald Trump tells Fox News:

You know, nobody knew how far left she (Kamala Harris) was. But he’s a smarter version of her, if you want to know the truth. Is he probably about the same as Bernie Sanders? He’s probably more than Bernie Sanders, she’s more than Bernie Sanders. That’s got to be your guy, Bernie Sanders. That’s not a great guide.

There has never been a ticket like this. This is a ticket that wants this country to become communist immediately, if not sooner. We don’t want security. We don’t want anything. He is very obsessed with transgender people. He loves everything transgender. And he is not where the country is on any issue. This is shocking, let me tell you, this is a shocking choice. I think it is very offensive to Jewish people, and I think it is very offensive to people who want security. I think it is very offensive to everything that has to do with making America great again.

Donald Trump says he wasn’t ‘always at Mar-a-Lago’ after Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz attacked him for not understanding the issues at the kitchen table.

The former president defended himself, claiming that he and his policies are more popular with working people than Vice President Kamala Harris and her new progressive running mate.

Walz said Tuesday night during his first tandem meeting with Harris as her running mate:

Donald Trump doesn’t fight for you or your family. He never sat at that kitchen table where I grew up wondering how we were going to play the game of reckoning. He sat at his country club in Mar-a-Lago wondering how he was going to cut taxes for his rich friends.

Trump responded in an interview with Fox & Friends on Wednesday morning:

I think it’s the other way around. I think if you look at the mood, those people are all voting for me, the people he’s talking about with the kitchen table.

And I wasn’t always at Mar-a-Lago. I was in a lot of other places and built an incredible company. One of the best companies.

You know, I could have a very simple life and a very good life and continue to do what I love. I love business and I love creating jobs. And that’s what we’re doing. We’re going to create jobs at a level that you’ve never seen before.

Trump then said that inflation under Biden and Harris is “killing” the same people Walz is talking about.

Donald Trump believes the media wants to portray Kamala Harris as the liberal version of the conservative British icon and late Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

The former president told Fox & Friends that Democrats didn’t want to put Harris on their ticket, but they had no choice and had to make do with what they had.

Trump told the three presenters on the couch on Wednesday morning:

She’s incompetent. And after they studied it a little bit, they realized it wasn’t going to be that easy to do, so they said, ‘Well, look, the press is going to do what we want.’

The media, apart from you people, of course, but the media is like this – they are drying up to build her up into the next Margaret Thatcher, liberal version. And I don’t believe it’s going to happen.

Donald Trump said he is preparing for a debate with Vice President Kamala Harris and criticized the Democratic nominee for refusing to give an interview since the start of her campaign.

Trump said in an interview with Fox & Friends on Wednesday morning:

I hear she hasn’t done any interviews. She would never do an interview like that, I can guarantee that – with any network. She doesn’t do interviews because she can’t answer questions.

I don’t know how she debates, I hear she’s kind of a mean person, but not a good debater. But we’ll see, because we’re going to debate her, I think, in the fairly near future. It’ll be announced pretty soon. But we’re going to debate her. I’d like to see it on Fox, by the way.

Trump called Fox News the day after Harris announced her running mate for Minnesota governor, Tim Walz.
