Trump’s unexpected message to Renee Good’s father after fatal ICE shooting
MSM ^ | 01-14-2026 | y Fredrik Falk

Renee Nicole Good, 37, was shot and killed in front of her wife during an ICE protest in Minneapolis on January 7...

At the time, Trump took to Truth Social to put the blame squarely on Renee...

Renee’s former father‑in‑law told NBC that he always had a good relationship with her and remembered her as “outgoing” and “a real good person.” ...

“I’m not blaming anybody,” Macklin said. “I mean, the ICE agent, you know, at first I didn‘t see the footage where... he was actually being rammed. I mean, I‘ve seen the bumper of the car hitting his legs. And so in a flash like that, it‘s hard to say how you would react.”

On Tuesday, CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil told President Trump that he had spoken with Renee Good’s father — and was surprised to learn he is a Republican and a supporter of the president, despite the administration’s stance on the Minneapolis shooting... the administration’s quick labeling of her as a “domestic terrorist.”

“Well, I want to say to the father that I love all of our people,” Trump replied. “They can be on the other side, as you say, he might be on my side. And I think that’s great.”

“And I would bet you that she, under normal circumstances, was a very solid, wonderful person,” Trump added of Good, before calling her actions “pretty tough.”

When asked whether deadly force should have been used, Trump also spoke about Renee’s wife, Becca Good:

“The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement. Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff.”

He went on to call Renee and her wife’s actions “outrageous.”.

It really gripes me that the left labels Donald Trump as some kind of ogre, and the sheeple believe it. He’s been in the public eye for longer than most of them have been alive and has never had that kind of reputation. It must tear a good man up inside.

Renee was on a suicidal trip. I hope they tested her stinking corpse for drugs. Never know what they might find.

Unfortunately incessant conditioning and psychosis brought about by a media constantly calling us racist Nazis can’t be detected on a toxicology report.

Go over to DU. There are a few threads of people talking about buying guns to start shooting us. They actually think they are saving the future by killing us.

It’s delusional, but I understand how they are being conditioned. Their media sources have them so convinced that they are freedom fighters and Trump is the evil emperor that they honestly think they are the good guys.

I feel for them. I pity them. But so help me God they make this a shooting war and the result will be terrifying.

90% of the crazy in this country would settle down if there were no rage baiting headlines on news articles.

Just eliminate headlines, don’t make it easy for people to skim and think of themselves as well-read when in fact they aren’t.

That might actually be true. It would sure trigger some leftists into hissy fits.

She (all of them) has no respect for any one or anything above or outside of themselves. They have lost all humility.

‘When people lose their humility, they become prey to EVER conceivable kind of extremism!’

These protesters all living proof of that concept

Low IQ people who haven’t thought this while things through. If they kill us, who will financially support their commie lazy asses?

“has no respect for any one or anything above or outside of themselves.”

When I think of this incident, the first thing that comes to mind is the arrogant smirk in her face five seconds before she went to Hell.
