In a surprising twist few saw coming, President Donald Trump and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz held a call Monday that both camps called “productive.” That’s not the usual tone when these two leaders are mentioned in the same sentence.
The call followed weeks of rising tension after two fatal shootings by federal agents in Minnesota, including the highly controversial killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti. Trump has openly blamed Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for what he called “pompous, dangerous, and arrogant rhetoric,” saying it fueled unrest and chaos. He even accused them of “inciting insurrection.”
Yet on Monday, Trump posted on Truth Social that Walz had reached out and “requested that we work together.” Trump called the discussion “very good,” noting they “seemed to be on a similar wavelength.”
The shift is more than just political optics—it comes with action.
