President Trump Goes Scorched Earth on Minnesota Democrats After Federal Agent Fatally Shoots Armed Man in Minneapolis

President Trump on Saturday went scorched earth on Minnesota Democrats after a federal agent fatally shot an armed man in Minneapolis.

DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault when an armed man approached Border Patrol officers, the DHS said.

The armed man has been identified as 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti from South Minneapolis.

Pretti was an ICU nurse according to the Associated Press.

Video posted to social media showed that Pretti appeared to attack federal law enforcement agents before he was fatally shot.

The shooting occurred near 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue.

As expected, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and far-left Mayor Jacob Frey blamed the federal agents for the fatal shooting and lashed out at President Trump.

Later Saturday, President Trump went off on Walz, Frey and Ilhan Omar.

“This is the gunman’s gun, loaded (with two additional full magazines!), and ready to go – What is that all about? Where are the local Police? Why weren’t they allowed to protect ICE Officers? The Mayor and the Governor called them off? It is stated that many of these Police were not allowed to do their job, that ICE had to protect themselves — Not an easy thing to do!” Trump said on Truth Social.

Trump then turned his ire toward Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar.

“Why does Ilhan Omar have $34 Million Dollars in her account? And where are the Tens of Billions of Dollars that have been stolen from the once Great State of Minnesota? We are there because of massive Monetary Fraud, with Billions of Dollars missing, and Illegal Criminals that were allowed to infiltrate the State through the Democrats’ Open Border Policy. We want the money back, and we want it back, NOW. Those Fraudsters who stole the money are going to jail, where they belong!” Trump said.

“This is no different than a really big Bank Robbery. Much of what you’re witnessing is a COVER UP for this Theft and Fraud. The Mayor and the Governor are inciting Insurrection, with their pompous, dangerous, and arrogant rhetoric! Instead, these sanctimonious political fools should be looking for the Billions of Dollars that has been stolen from the people of Minnesota, and the United States of America. LET OUR ICE PATRIOTS DO THEIR JOB! 12,000 Illegal Alien Criminals, many of them violent, have been arrested and taken out of Minnesota. If they were still there, you would see something far worse than you are witnessing today!” Trump added.

President Trump followed up with another post on Truth Social.

“AMONG OTHER THINGS, THIS IS A “COVER UP” FOR THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT HAVE BEEN STOLEN FROM THE ONCE GREAT STATE (BUT SOON TO BE GREAT AGAIN!) OF MINNESOTA! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP” Trump said.
