President Donald Trump will not call Gov. Tim Walz in the aftermath of the deadly shootings in Minnesota that killed a Democratic legislator and injured another, saying it would be a waste of his time.

Following the fatal shooting of Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, the president called Gov. Tim Walz "whacked out."

Days after a Minnesota state lawmaker was killed and another injured in a "politically motivated assassination," President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he would not call the state's governor, eschewing a traditional presidential response to tragedies.
