Hope Walz, daughter of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, criticised Donald Trump Jr after he defended a derogatory slur aimed at her father. She released a video on social media and urged him to seek help for what she called “clear daddy issues.” She said the online post showed that his father did not value him. She also argued that any affection he received was tied to cruelty, not compassion.
Hope said she felt sad for Trump Jr and his family because they often insult others to feel powerful. She noted that her family found joy in kindness and shared time, not in attacking people. She added that her home held emotional strength because they supported one another.
She closed her video by stating that his strained bond with his father seemed obvious. She said she genuinely felt sorry for him and hoped he found support.
Trump Jr had earlier shared a clip of Governor Walz describing how people drove past his home and shouted the offensive “R-word.” Governor Walz linked this behaviour to former President Donald Trump’s public use of the same slur. He said the trend created danger and called the silence of Republican leaders “shameful.”
