By Fox News · Fox News

President Donald Trump on Thursday slammed Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, calling him "seriously r------d" and accusing the governor of failing to address crime and immigration concerns in the blue state. In a lengthy Truth Social post, Trump argued that immigration is fueling crime nationwide and straining public services. He pointed to Minnesota as a prime example, claiming that "Somalian gangs are roving the streets" of what he described as a "once great state." "A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being ‘Politically Correct,’ and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration ," Trump said.

He further claimed that a migrant earning $30,000 with a green card receives "roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family." "This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America," Trump said, blaming it for issues including crime, urban decline, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages and growing deficits. Trump pointed to Minnesota, alleging that "hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over" the state and claiming that Governor Walz "does nothing" in response. "Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for ‘prey’ as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone," Trump said. "The seriously r------d Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both." 5 TIMES…
