Summary

Former vice presidential nominee Tim Walz criticized Trump for economic chaos while taking personal responsibility for the situation during an MSNBC interview.

“We wouldn’t be in this mess if we’d have won the election — and we didn’t,” Walz told Chris Hayes. He called Trump the “worst possible business executive” and praised the Wall Street Journal’s editorial criticizing Trump’s tariff war.

Walz emphasized Democrats must offer something better, not just criticize Trump. Recently, he acknowledged a leadership void in the Democratic Party and admitted spending too much time combatting Trump’s false claims about immigrants.

      Exactly, and it’s the third time we’ve been betrayed like this.

      Not going after the Bush administration.

      Not going after the subprime mortgage architects.

      Not going after Trump.

      Three times, they’ve had the easiest of layups for public approval of all time and they’ve consistently fucked it up.

      Amen. 4 years to build a case? January 6th, spend 6-12 months and file charges. What the fuck were they doing for 4 years?

      Or at least the second the supreme court said whatever the president does is legal as long as it’s an “official act”.
