Tim Walz Scorches 'Clown' Trump And 'Dips**t' Elon Musk At Fiery Rally
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz usually slips a few zingers into his remarks at campaign rallies around the country.
On Tuesday, the Democratic vice-presidential candidate brought a fiery energy to Madison, Wisconsin, launching sharp criticisms at both Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk.
The first target was Trump, with Walz ridiculing the former president for a campaign stop at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania. Walz humorously compared Trump to Ronald McDonald, remarking, “Ron wears less makeup,” and joked that Trump might have confused the days and thought it was Halloween early due to his recent forgetfulness.
Walz continued, calling Trump a fraud, saying, “Everything about him is fake,” and poked fun at Trump’s fondness for dancing to the Village People, imagining Trump claiming to be a cop or construction worker next.
Earlier, Trump had been photographed working the drive-thru at a closed McDonald’s during an event prompted by his false claim that Kamala Harris had lied about a summer job at the fast-food chain during college. Walz slammed Trump’s behavior as exploitative, accusing him of using “people’s livelihoods as a political prop” and pointing out that Trump’s policies favor corporations at the expense of workers.
Walz didn’t stop there. He mocked Trump’s frequent claim that his disjointed speeches are intentional, part of a rhetorical technique Trump calls “the weave.” Walz quipped, “There’s only one weave you know about, Donald.”
The Minnesota governor also directed his criticism toward Elon Musk, who has taken an increasingly active role in Trump’s campaign. Musk’s involvement included giving away $1 million checks at rallies and appearing on stage with Trump. Walz joked about Musk’s antics, calling him “a dipshit” for his exuberant behavior at campaign events and warned that putting Musk in a position of power under Trump could lead to widespread corruption.
While Walz praised Kamala Harris for her policy proposals, he returned to Trump, accusing him of threatening to use the military against those who disagree with him. When Trump’s running mate JD Vance defended this rhetoric by saying Trump “spoke from the heart,” Walz humorously responded, “A cold, Grinchy, three-sizes-too-small heart.”
