Trump attacks ‘Corrupt Dumocrats’ in rambling rant after Lindell endorsement draws mockery
President Donald Trump lashed out at Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) on Wednesday after his endorsement of My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell for Minnesota governor raised eyebrows among critics.
Trump got defensive in a post on his Truth Social platform, attacking the longtime Democratic lawmaker and gubernatorial candidate.
"Amy Klobuchar, the lightly respected Senator from Minnesota, is running for Governor to take the place of the current Corrupt and Incompetent Tim Walz," Trump wrote.
Klobuchar has opted not to seek re-election to the Senate in 2026 and is expected to be the leading Democratic nominee with a "massive fundraising advantage," according to the Minnesota Reformer. She launched her bid in January after Gov. Tim Walz announced he would not seek a third term.
"I have gotten to know Klobuchar over the years, and find her to be equally as incompetent as Walz, and probably equally as corrupt in that, as a high Government Official from Minnesota, she knew everything that was going on," Trump wrote. "If the Elections in Minnesota weren’t RIGGED, any Republican could win, but they were, and that is why nobody has won there since Richard Nixon many years ago. I thought I won it all three times, only to be disappointed in the end. Vote for Mike Lindell for Governor, who has my Complete and Total Endorsement, and forget about these Corrupt Dumocrats like Amy Klobuchar. MAKE MINNESOTA GREAT AGAIN!"
Trump made this post even as criticism mounted online that his endorsement of Lindell was a poor one.
"The insurrection pillow man?" law professor and former chief White House ethics lawyer Richard W. Painter wrote on X. "This is a guaranteed way to give [Klobuchar] a huge landslide victory in the governor's race this November, heading right into the 2028 presidential primaries."
