Trump Criticizes Walz at DNC Response

During a phone-in appearance on Fox & Friends, former President Donald Trump harshly criticized Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who had recently given a speech at the Democratic National Convention. Trump labeled Walz a 'total lightweight' and dismissed his coaching credentials, asserting he is merely a 'semi-coach.' The former president specifically refuted Walz's claims linking him to Project 2025, a conservative initiative, insisting he had no knowledge of it and denouncing the idea as disgraceful. Walz had argued that any proposed playbook, like Project 2025, would be utilized by its creators, emphasizing the potential negative impact on people's lives. Despite Trump's denials, recent endorsements from his running mate JD Vance suggest closer ties to the initiative. Trump's tirade lasted five minutes, showcasing his frustration over the Democrats’ portrayal of him at the convention.
