US President Donald Trump has defended his use of the slur "seriously r**d" in reference to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, claiming the governor fails to address issues related to "Somalian gangs." During an exchange aboard Air Force One, Trump insisted there is something wrong with Walz for allowing immigration from Somalia, which he mistakenly claimed does not function as a country. Critics, including Walz and Senator Michael Bohacek, condemned Trump’s language, arguing it normalizes hate speech. This incident follows a pattern of Trump using derogatory terms in public discourse.
