Yeah, I think it’s also that he looks like them also scares the fuck out of Trump It’s ok to him when the browns and the poors are against him but a middle aged white guy? That looks wrong in Trumps head.
"Every minute I spend defending my own political interests would be a minute I can’t spend defending the people of Minnesota against the criminals who prey on our generosity and the cynics who prey on our differences.”
While I don't pretend to know all the details, he was clearly already not seeking reelection before clashing with ICE.
This DOJ isn't getting convictions as often as they get headlines. A few of their lawyers are getting their cases dismissed for being appointed in the wrong way.
They couldn't even convict the alleged sandwich thrower.

Trump was surprisingly easy to convict once Alvin Bragg started pressing charges. But it was far too little and too late to win a conviction before Trump could return to office.
Plenty of other Republicans would be easy targets, if the DOJ bothered to press a case.

Man why’s Trump so afraid of Tim Waltz?

I know this is rhetorical but the answer is because *Tim Walz is standing up against lawlessness and fascism.

He isn't standing up to shit. He is stepping down.

Because Walz has at least one or two earnest bones in his body. That's not something he comes across when harassing spineless republicans.

He's a soft target who folds easily. Trump loves to bully this kind of person.

What is the charge? Eating a meal, a succulent Chinese meal?

Crazy what a DOJ that actually wants to prosecute people can accomplish.
Wish the last guy had been this zealous

What is the story about the Chinese general that was late to a meeting? Seems relevant.
