Trump stuns with call to Minneapolis mayor: 'Feels like unconditional surrender'

Political analysts and observers were stunned on Monday after details of a call between President Donald Trump and a Democratic mayor were released.

Trump spoke with Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey on Monday, two days after immigration agents shot and killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse who was attending a protest as a legal observer. The call happened on the same day that Trump spoke with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, also a Democrat, in a move that one of Trump's closest allies saw as a U-turn on a winning issue for the administration.

"I just had a very good telephone conversation with Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis," Trump posted on Truth Social. "Lots of progress is being made! Tom Homan will be meeting with him tomorrow in order to continue the discussion."

Frey added that his "main ask is that Operation Metro Surge needs to end."

"The president agreed the present situation can’t continue," Frey said in a statement.

Frey and Trump have clashed several times in the past, with Trump calling him a "radical Left lightweight." The docile tone of Trump's statement stood out to observers.

"Feels like Trump is pretty much unconditionally surrendering as support collapses," Will Stancil, a Minnesota attorney, posted on Bluesky.

The Trump administration has faced significant scrutiny over the actions of its immigration officers in Minneapolis. There have been two high-profile killings over the last month since the administration surged resources into the city, as well as a number of reported shootings involving federal agents.

"This has been a consistent pattern, strategic retreat when things get too hot, return when it fades," David Dayen, executive editor of The American Prospect, posted on Bluesky.

"For now, until they can convince enough Senate Dems that DHS is in retreat. Once they're funded again, the terror will resume somewhere else," political writer Joan McCarter posted on Bluesky.

The post Why It Could Outperform Pepe Coin And Tron With Over $7m Already Raised appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 20:26 While meme tokens like Pepe Coin and established networks such as Tron attract headlines, many investors are now searching for projects that combine innovation, revenue-sharing and real-world utility. BlockchainFX ($BFX), currently in presale at $0.024 ahead of an expected $0.05 launch, is quickly becoming one of the best cryptos to buy today. With $7m already secured and a unique model spanning multiple asset classes, it is positioning itself as a decentralised super app and a contender to surpass older altcoins. Early Presale Pricing Creates A Rare Entry Point BlockchainFX’s presale pricing structure has been designed to reward early participants. At $0.024, buyers secure a lower entry price than later rounds, locking in a cost basis more than 50% below the projected $0.05 launch price. As sales continue to climb beyond $7m, each new stage automatically increases the token price.

High-Yield Staking Model Shares Platform Revenue Beyond its presale appeal, BlockchainFX is creating a high-yield staking model that gives holders a direct share of platform revenue. Every time a trade occurs on its platform, 70% of trading fees flow back into the $BFX ecosystem: 50% of collected fees are automatically distributed to stakers in both BFX and USDT. 20% is allocated to daily buybacks of $BFX, adding demand and price support. Half of the bought-back tokens are permanently burned, steadily reducing supply. Rewards are based on the size of each member’s BFX holdings and capped at $25,000 USDT per day to ensure sustainability.
