Trump Slams Minneapolis Mayor Amid Escalating Political Dispute

Former President Donald Trump sharply criticized the Mayor of Minneapolis this week, intensifying an already heated political dispute following what Trump described as a “backstabbing” move.

In a series of public remarks, Trump accused the mayor of reversing course on prior commitments related to federal cooperation and public safety efforts. While he did not detail specific private conversations, Trump claimed the mayor had previously expressed willingness to work with federal authorities before later taking a different public stance.

The mayor’s office responded by defending its position, stating that decisions were made based on legal considerations and the interests of the city’s residents. Officials emphasized that any policy shifts were guided by transparency and local accountability, not political maneuvering.

The exchange comes amid broader national tensions over federal and local authority, particularly concerning immigration enforcement and law enforcement oversight. Political analysts say the clash underscores growing divisions between federal leadership figures and municipal officials in major cities.

As both sides continue to trade statements, the dispute is likely to further energize supporters and critics alike in an already polarized political climate
