Gov Walz is saying what we’ve been saying. If the president is this erratic, then the public deserves to know what is going on. Four simple words: show the MRI results.
If Trump is fine, prove it. If he isn’t, step aside.

Trump ordered 500 more National Guard troops to DC after two Guardsmen were shot near the White House.
Saying more troops will stop violence is like saying more alcohol will stop drunk driving.

The health care crisis is 100% the fault of Republicans. They encouraged the massive growth of for profit insurance companies who were focused entirely on profit. Patient care has suffered greatly since deregulation. We should return to non profit health care. #ProudBlue

For reference: Trump's lowest approval rating in his first term was right after January 6th, at 34/62. He is as or nearly as unpopular now as he was when January 6th was fresh in people's minds.
Four polls in recent days now have Trump in the 30s, with 3 at 35%-36%: 2/
35%-62% (-27) ARG
35%-56% (-21) High Point University

given how unpopular Trump is, it’s insane that civil society/universities/law firms are still asking themselves “how do I stay on Trump’s good side” rather than “how do I avoid facing consequences for complying with Trump’s illegal demands”
New Gallup poll shows Trump's approval hit a new low for his second term:
-36% approve
-60% disapprove
His approval among Republicans went from 91% in January to 84% in November
