The President of the United States has chosen to throw the economy into turmoil

Governor Tim Walz posted on April 30, 2025, accusing the U.S. President of causing economic turmoil, likely referring to Donald Trump, who took office in January 2025 after winning the 2024 election, amid debates over federal budget cuts and policy shifts like Project 2025’s influence on funding bills.

The post reflects Minnesota’s fiscal tensions, as the state faces a projected $6 billion deficit after a $19 billion surplus was spent under Walz’s administration, with critics on X highlighting his tax increases and a 40% growth in government spending as contributing factors.
Walz’s statement coincides with broader national conflicts, including Minnesota AG Keith Ellison’s lawsuit against the Trump administration over a transgender sports ban, illustrating the state’s resistance to federal policies that threaten its progressive laws and funding.
