“Donald Trump knows nothing about the strength of Minneapolis,” he continued, raising his voice. “We are strong as hell. Is this a difficult time period? Yes. But you better be damn sure that we’re gonna get through this.” div.youtube { height:0; position:relative; padding-bottom:56.25%; } div.

A high school mayor. What a joke. After the state burns to the ground maybe there will be a change to rid the state of these liberal clowns.

Frey is an ineffective member of the ruling elite victim class... a do nothing democrat

Weakness is allowing your police precinct to be burned to the ground. Putz

Weakness is allowing yiur cuty to be burned down and destroyed, while doing nothing! Liberal utopia at its finest!

This is correct. Every liberal has spent the last 3+ years pointing fingers at Trump accusing him of anything they can think of. No responsibility taken for their f’ed up policies and their vindictive lies.

Says the mayor who did nothing to stop the looting and rioting

As Democrats burn and loot our Country 🔥👎😢

Surely Frey is a male feminist.

Please arrest all of MSNBC and CNN reporters for encouraging and inciting this looting and violence. For days now the scum at MSNBC and CNN has been empathetic and encouraging towards these criminals. CNN MSNBC

The Irony...

Just another example of how much this Mayor is in way over his head.

Minneapolis mayor to Trump: ‘Weakness is pointing your finger at somebody else during a time of crisis’ WEAKNESS IS TRUMP ... he cannot face anything including treaties, face COVID was coming + admit he missed it, let his minions testify w/ congress...

Weakness is letting your police precinct burn down

The first time I saw Frey on TV my immediate opinion was here was a man afraid, no idea of crisis management and did not understand assertive mananagementnir his role in it!

Watch the Minneapolis Mayor deflect from the poor job he has done.

bit of a cold take, no?

Controlling a city vs controlling a country I wonder which is harder..

Frey!!! Trump could not find his way out of a paper bag!!

Love the predictable liberal spins, their faith in mankind and naive kumbaya attitude, but the sad truth is that Minnesota is what happens when people elect a pandering, progressive government.

The mayor, but it wan't a fair fight. This isn't about politics. This is about police misconduct and years of frustration. This is about Trump condemning peaceful protest & condoning violence. This is about the need for systemic change! VoteTrumpOut2020 but that's just a start

Sorta how most the left has done w COVID, but even better let’s refer to every crisis as an opportunity !

The city is burning, WTF is wrong with this account?

Good question.

We need you to help Minneapolis!

Who won? Nobody. A man is DEAD!

Well it was not the loser that calls himself Mayor of Minneapolis. Let’s lead from behind! Anyone else tired of the poor leadership we’ve voted in at all levels?

Minneapolis is burning, being looted and full of rioters. All of this is happening because the Democrat government, especially the Mayor, is horribly weak and incompetent. Obviously, losers like the Mayor aren’t “winning” anything.

Trump

The Mayor. Easily

Seriously? Your city is being destroyed

Incompetence is blaming others for your own poor choices.

Looks like the market won!

Who won? Frey 'took a knee'.

Even his Dem Gov is calling out the Mayor. He just ended his political career

Trump has never legitimately won a thing in his life. He’s more of a fungus that creeps into the things handed to him on a platter while destroying any semblance of positivity. Fuck trump.

Trump and it's not even close. From MN btw.

Trump wins again

We all need the courage to speak out and stand up to The Moron unlike his enablers like Mitch, Lindsey and Cruz

Dude should have stayed on Grey’s Anatomy. Just saying.

Unfollowing you now , your political bias is too transparent and no longer qualifies as diverse non-partisan news.

The mayor has failed his city

The mayor looks incompetent. He allowed 24 hours of rioting before calling in the guard. What a moron.

Trump, mayor's WEAK!

Not the mayor. He lost a police precinct.

soyboy

Minneapolis been up!

Frey is an embarrassment

I can tell you who lost, the American public

I guess this is phase one of Minn CV reopening 🙄

How ugly Donald looks

Not you, you such, atrocious journalism/activism

Trump and reality won.

Seriously? They both were trash and should be disqualified from any future battles. Marketwatch you’re better than this 🤦🏿‍♂️

The guy who let his police department burn to the ground
