The Retarded Outrage Over Trump Calling Walz “Retarded”
Front Page Magazine ^ | 30 Nov, 2025 | Daniel Greenfield

They didn't have a problem when Jon Stewart used it as his go-to insult again and again.

Gov. Tim Walz is retarded. Not because he suffers from developmental disabilities or other medical problems, but because he’s an idiot.

Everyone who isn’t Gov. Tim Walz knew exactly what President Trump was saying when he called Walz “seriously retarded”.

The fake outrage over this is just that… fake. No one is seriously outraged over Trump using “retarded”. They’re pretending to be outraged to scuttle the investigation of Somali fraud under Walz’s watch, the redistricting battle in Indiana and because being professionally outraged over anything Trump does or says is a full-time job.

The term “retarded” hasn’t been used to describe an actual mental disability in quite a while. It was an insult when I was in grade school. And before that. The same people feigning outrage over the use of “retarded” were laughing when Jon Stewart used it as his go-to insult again and again.

So they’re not outraged. They’re liars. And they’re trying to push a broken outrage button no one cares about anymore.

Prior to about the 1950s, these words had specific definitions.

Moron = IQ of 51-75

Imbecile = IQ of 25 to 50

Idiot = IQ under 25

All age adjusted, of course.

I remain amazed that in Walz the Dems managed to find someone to run for Veep who was more weird than Kaine. THAT was an accomplishment!

If we are in the process of draining political correctness, it means we have to permit words that trigger people.

When I was in public school we would get in trouble for calling someone “retarded” so we just called them a “RT”.

We talked about people who "ride the short bus".

No one is seriously outraged over Trump using “retarded”.

Sarah Palin was pretty touchy about casual use of the term due to her child with Downs.

When I read about the scandal, that was the first thing that came to mind. Walz, like Biden, may not be competent to stand trial.

Who’s got the pic of the fat girl that testified about an idea that was retarded down there in Florida about the black kid that was killed by the white guy. Yup my memory is fading when it comes to names.

That is a text book example of a Unilateral moron and someone to stupid to live.

"Unilateral moron T.S.T.L." Here is an analysis of the two terms:

Unilateral: This is an adjective that means "one-sided". The word is most often used in a medical, political, or legal context, or to describe a fitness exercise that works one side of the body at a time.

Moron: This word is an offensive and derogatory slur for a stupid or foolish person. In the early 20th century, it was a clinical term used by psychologists to classify people with mild intellectual disabilities. The clinical term was later discarded, and the word is now considered a general insult. Stopped being used by woke pussy doctors.

Moron (psychology) - Wikipedia

Moron is a term once used in psychology and psychiatry to denote mild intellectual disability.

Wikipedia:

MORON definition in American English - Collins Dictionary a person who is notably foolish or lacking in good judgment. Psychology obsolete. a person of low intelligence according to a former classification of mental ab...

To Stupid To Live. (T.S.T.L.):

He's Fuc*&ING STUPID!, JIM!

Tampon Tim, Tim Walz is the worse of the worse as he is SELF RETARDED. I wouldn't be surprised to find out he eats his own shit because he thinks it doesn't stink.

Walz makes Kamala appear smart, that’s why he was chosen for her VP running mate.

Trump says this sort of thing to trick the Left into magnifying a story they actually wants to hide.

But it’s not right to insult the mentally challenged.

So Mr. Trump, please switch to the ugly Truth: Walz aided and abetted over a billion dollars in fraud in Minnesota, not because he was helplessly stupid, but because he is willfully corrupt and got money, political support, and Democrat votes for turning a blind eye.

Researchers need to prove that some of the stolen funds ended up in the pockets of Walz and the Democrats. Walz et al. can then be prosecuted as co-conspirators, and held liable for paying back the looted funds.

Flame away, but the word “retarded” when used to describe a person’s cognitive abilities, is as offensive as the “N” word. I have interacted with many cognitively disabled people, who we used to call retarded, and they are the sweetest and nicest people I have ever met. “Retarded” is an archaic and derogatory word. POTUS Trump could have made the same point by referring to Wald as Stupid, Dumbass, Idiotic, etc., without having to insult the cognitively disabled by lumping them in with Wald’s stupidity.

Reminds me of an old cartoon - A mother turkey meets her crying son at the door as he comes home from school. She’s saying,, “Son, you mustn’t get upset when others call you a turkey - you ARE a turkey.”
