Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, in his State of the State address on Wednesday, condemned President Donald Trump, accusing him of exerting the power of the federal government for personal gain and undermining fruitful leadership.
What Happened: Walz criticized Trump’s management of tariffs and the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). He called Trump’s actions “small, weak, and petty,” adding, “It takes the awesome power of the federal government and turns it into a crude weapon, wielded by a man who wants to be a king.”
Walz has previously clashed with Elon Musk, a close aide of Trump, over the decline of Tesla Inc.’s stock prices.
