Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s daughter Hope appears to believe that President Donald Trump viciously “hates” her father.
This, she suggested in an interview this week with podcast host John O’Sullivan, is why the White House has been on her father’s case about all the welfare fraud being committed by Somali immigrants in his state.
“I think it’s because he’s everything Trump will never be,” she said, describing why she thinks Trump hates her father.
“I think he was popular during the campaign last fall, and he’s still in office, and he’s running again, and so it’s just kind of an easy thing for them to pick up on,” she added.
Her remarks came just hours after her father dropped out of the 2026 Minnesota gubernatorial race.

Addressing her father’s decision to drop out, Hope suggested that her father wanted to divert attention away from Minnesota and its rampant welfare fraud by Somali immigrants.
“My dad would say, part of the decision he decided to step away from the race was to kind of get that target off of Minnesota,” she admitted. “I think he believes if he’s not in the race, there’s nothing; they have nothing else.”
Again, she appeared to suggest that the Trump administration’s interest in all the fraud being perpetrated in Minnesota has been motivated solely by a desire to hurt her father. It is almost as if she doesn’t realize and understand that the fraud itself is bad — very bad.
Indeed, she theorized that there was “enough truth to the fraud claims” that the president and his supporters were able to “twist and amplify it” and “frame it in a way that benefited them.”
Hope also attributed her father’s decision to drop out to the attention she and her brother Gus were starting to receive.
“I don’t want to speak for him, but I think when things started getting really intense for me like on my social media and then people even saying things like to Gus and stuff, I think that’s when he was really like, ‘Okay, like, I need to evaluate what’s best for the state and then I need to evaluate what’s best for my family,'” she recalled.

In remarks made previously about a month ago on TikTok, she alleged that her father’s critics started hassling her brother after President Trump had referred to her father as “seriously retarded.”
“I’m talking about this because while my family and I are always gonna be the bigger people, [but] the president calling my dad what he did has unleashed a f–king s–t storm regarding offensive language towards me and my family and specifically my brother,” she said.
“You can call me whatever you want, you can call my dad, my mom, when it’s Gus, f–k to the no. He dealt with people calling him that last August, and now there’s a resurgence? No,” she added.
She continued by slamming Trump for his use of coarse language.
“How is it OK that the president of the United States can call somebody — anybody, doesn’t matter who they are — that, and then all of his fricking cult members come and attack those people and that person’s family,” she said.
“Say what you want about my dad — he’s an elected official. That’s going to happen. I think it’s utterly disgraceful that the president would do that, but then, the attacks that I have seen. I have people DMing me saying absolutely horrendous things,” she added.
Hope has been having online meltdowns for months now, dating all the way back to last May and even earlier:
Hope Walz is having yet another mental meltdown. This time it’s because a running influencer decided to interview Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Kate Mackz had previously interviewed Tim Walz. So, Hope thinks Dems own her.
