Supporters and critics alike have noted that President Donald Trump’s second term has ushered in an even more focused and agenda-driven era for his MAGA mission.
But that doesn’t mean he has completely stopped doling out some of the well-deserved taunts that made his first term so memorable.
This week, he was asked for his take on recent claims by failed vice presidential nominee Tim Walz and offered a dim view of the Democratic Minnesota governor.
As Fox News reported:
Trump’s comments came in response to statements Walz provided in a podcast with California Gov. Gavin Newsom that aired on Tuesday, in which Walz predicted he could kick the “a–” of most Trump supporters.
“Well, he’s a loser. Yeah. No, I think so. He lost an election,” Trump said Friday in the Oval Office of the White House. “He played a part. You know, usually a vice president doesn’t play a part. They say. I think Tim played a part. I think he was so bad that he hurt her. But she hurt herself. And Joe hurt them both. They didn’t have a great group, but I would probably put him at the bottom of the group.”
A spokesperson for Walz did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
Walz’s comments originated during a discussion with Newsom about toxic masculinity. While Newsom discussed why he has brought on conservative figures like Charlie Kirk on his podcast because he believes one shouldn’t write someone off for having different views, Walz questioned how to challenge Trump backers.
Of course, Trump is far from the only one criticizing Walz for the awkward claim of bravado:

Walz also attracted backlash this week for his remarks about Tesla.
As The Hill reported, high-profile investor Kevin O’Leary was among those who criticized him for saying that he gets a “boost” from seeing the Elon Musk company’s stock price tank.
“That poor guy didn’t check his portfolio and his own pension plan for the state. It’s beyond stupid what he did,” O’Leary said.
O’Leary was referencing a report from the Minnesota State Board of Investments that show the state held 1.6 million shares of Tesla in its retirement fund. The report is from June 2024, and more recent data is not available.
He asked, “What’s the matter with that guy? He doesn’t check the well-being of his own constituents.”
And here’s a clip of Trump’s memorable reaction:
Tim Walz said he could kick anyone from MAGA’s ass, what is your response sir?
