Trump’s Thanksgiving message on Truth Social began as another angry broadside about immigration and Minnesota’s Somali community.
It quickly turned personal when he used a slur for people with intellectual disabilities to attack Gov. Tim Walz.
Within hours, Walz’s icy response — “Release the MRI results” — reframed the entire exchange, shifting attention from
Trump’s insult to Trump’s unexplained medical history and October MRI at Walter Reed.
Official summaries describe Trump’s health as “exceptional,” touting a cardiac age younger than his years.
Yet the lack of detail about the MRI, the off-schedule exam, and a recent diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency leave room for speculation.
Walz’s repost of Trump’s late-night rant, laced with racist claims about Somali refugees and
Rep. Ilhan Omar, underscored a deeper tension: a president escalating fear, and a governor betting that transparency — especially about health and truth — is where this fight will ultimately be decided.
