In a dramatic moment on Fox & Friends Thursday morning, former President Donald Trump veered off-topic for nearly five minutes following a request to respond to a critical clip from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s Democratic National Convention speech.

During the segment, Fox & Friends aired a montage highlighting Walz’s criticisms of Trump, particularly targeting the controversial “Project 2025,” a proposal associated with former Trump aides. After the clip, co-host Ainsley Earhardt prompted Trump to address the criticisms.

Trump’s response quickly diverged from the topic, slamming Walz as a “total lightweight” and Vice President Kamala Harris a “Marxist lunatic.” He disparaged California’s crime issues and spiraled into a broad and disjointed critique of various subjects.

“Well, first of all, he’s a total lightweight, and he shouldn’t be even having any access to possibly being president. The guy, he’s been a terrible governor. They’ve had nothing but problems in this state. He has no capability. This guy is a lightweight, and he shouldn’t have access,” Trump replied before repeating his claim of having no knowledge about the controversial Project 2025 document and leveling a series of wild accusations against the Democratic ticket.

“And for him to say about Project 25 is disgraceful. They know I have nothing to do with it, he continued. “Kamala has been the worst. Everything she touched turned bad. California turned bad. San Francisco, you can’t walk into San Francisco. You barely can go into California anymore. She had policies that $950 you can steal anything you want, up to $950 in a store, and they’re not going to prosecute the people. They have policies that are absolutely insane. This guy, Walsh, comes out and he wants tampons sold in young men’s bathrooms. You have to have tampons available, not even sold, available in young men’s bathroom.”

he continued: “We’re giving our government away when we put two lunatics like this in, if they, if they take over our government as President and Vice President, our country doesn’t stand a chance. She is worse than him, because she’s actually a radical left Marxist. That’s what she is. That’s what she’s always going to be. She’s going to ban fracking. She’s going to ban all energy production coming out of the ground. Kamala, who’s a Marxist and a radical left frankly, she’s a radical lunatic.”

“And if she became our president,” he went on, “this country would turn out to be a big version of San Francisco, a big version of California, then I have to listen to a lightweight like this get up and absolutely lie. But they all lied. Well, first of all, in terms of personality, I don’t think she has a personality, because she’s allowed crime to flourish wherever she wants. And she’s going to go to like the all electric car mandate. How ridiculous is that they’re too expensive, they don’t go far, and they do have a market. On on abortion, I will bring it up. They say in the convention, I want a federal ban. I would never they know. I’ve said it. There will not be a fair band. This is now back in the states where it belongs.”

“They are destroying our they are destroying our country. She is a Marxist,” he charged. “She has no idea she wants to have open borders. And if she got elected the next day, she’d have no drilling and she’d have open borders. Price controls have been used many, many times over the years, usually by dictators and all, but they’ve been used many times. They’ve never, ever worked with these two people taken over this country is finished. He’s a Marxist, and that’s where she’s going to be open borders, no drilling. Our country will die.”
