Move over Justin Trudeau. There’s a new hunky liberal politician in the stratosphere and his name is Jacob Frey, the 38-year-old mayor of Minneapolis who everyone’s been talking about after he owned Donald Trump on Twitter this morning.
It all started when Frey’s office requested Trump pay $500,000 ahead of a MAGA rally scheduled for this Thursday in Minneapolis. The fee is to cover the costs of stuff like cops, traffic police, crowd control, and all that other boring stuff that’s needed anytime a politician, especially the President of the United States, comes to town on a reelection effort.
In response, Trump’s reelection campaign manager Brad Parscale called the $500,000 tab “an outrageous abuse of power by a liberal mayor trying to deny the rights of his own city’s residents just because he hates the President!”
Trump himself took to Twitter to call Frey a “lightweight mayor” who only wants to hurt MAGA supporters. To which Frey responded: “Yawn… Welcome to Minneapolis where we pay our bills, we govern with integrity, and we love all of our neighbors.”
How about we take this to the next level?

When Trump responded by calling Frey a radical leftist whose actions were “probably illegal,” Frey replied: “Someone tell the President of the United States that he can afford to help pay for the extra time our officers will be putting in while he’s in town.”

Frey’s tweets quickly went viral, not only for their epic #clapbackery, but because, as one person on Twitter noted, “Mayor Jacob Frey is HOT.”
But don’t just take our word for it. Check out these pictures from his Instagram page…
Oh, and here’s a video of him from a few years ago singing the holiday classic “Winter Wonderland.” (Great angle!)
Now, we hate to disappoint, but Frey is not LGBTQ. (Whomp, whomp.) He’s married to a lobbyist named Sarah Clarke. But he is a huge LGBTQ ally.
Before he was elected mayor, Frey was endorsed by the Stonewall DFL in his successful race for the Minneapolis City Council.
As mayor, he oversaw the revitalization of several rainbow crosswalks in the city.
He also marched in this year’s Twin Cities Pride parade, posting pictures and videos of the celebration to his social media pages.
Another fantastic #tcpride parade in the books. Come say hello & enjoy the fun @ Loring Park! pic.twitter.com/HkdzwAnMcu

And just last month, he helped the city update its non-discrimination ordinance protecting LGBTQ people for the first time since 1975.
Mpls became the 1st city to pass a non-discrimination ordinance for the LGBT community in 1975. But we still have a long way to go — it is appalling in 2019 that trans individuals have been banned from military service.

On top of all that, he has a deep appreciation for drag culture.
Ladies and gentlemen, we do believe a star has been born.
Now, how about some more pics?
Mack
He should have mentioned in his tweet that Trump’s organization has a habit of stiffing people.
jkthsnk
I think that’s what he meant when he said “where we pay our bills”. Same day Mar a Lago canceled a hate group for not paying up front. Trump Org = Trash.
Cam
It’s funny how much Republicans hate Capitalism. Hey, Trump doesn’t pay his bills, and this city is asking for the money up front. What’s the problem?
truthseeker
@Cam
Sounds like you need a lesson on the definition of capitalism.
This last minute charge of $500,000 for security is outrageous and was only done to prevent Trump from holding a campaign rally. Meanwhile, others are only charged $20,000 for events. That’s the only way these people can win is by shutting things down.
This happened in El Paso when Beto was charged significantly less than Trump, who was charged prices higher than historical averages for the same event.
Plus, if this mayor thinks the cost is really that high, I guess he’s saying the left are extremely violent if that much security is needed. Even the police of don’t support this mayor with the head of the local Minneapolis police union criticizing him for his childish antics over his political opposition to a Trump rally.
BigJohnSF
Sorry, Truthseeker. The advance payment is to prevent Trump from stiffing the people of Minneapolis, who will get stuck with the bills because Trump is a thief who won’t pay.
xanadude
Also, Beta and others are not the “president” so don’t need the same amount of security. Quit spreading fake news over the $20K BS. Fine, we’ll take $20K and see what kind of security the pig gets!
truthseeker
@Xanadude
The $20,000 figure was for a rally held for then President Obama. Why is one president charged $20,000 and another $500,000?
jsmu
@truthseeker Because, dRUMPfSUCKER (there–fixed your handle for you! You’re welcome!), the Obama ‘rally’ was nothing like dRUMPf’s Nazi fests. Far smaller in scale and Obama, of course, paid his bill on time. Why do you hate capitalism? Why do you LIE about dRUMPf stiffing every city he’s ever staged a Nazi fest (oh, sorry, ‘campaign rally’) in? In fact, why is every word you post a lie?
truthseeker
@jsmu
“Far smaller in scale and Obama, of course, paid his bill on time. Why do you hate capitalism?”
You might be right, that Trump is able to draw larger crowds than Obama’s which as you say are “far smaller” but Obama has stiffed cities for tiny reasonable bills. In 2008, Obama refused to pay the city of Springfield $55,457 for security and has yet to still pay it. Then after 2016, Bernie Sanders owed a total of $449,000 in unpaid public safety bills. I doubt you’ll hold them to the same standard though.
Lastly, that’s not capitalism. Capitalism is private owners controlling private businesses, not the state. Last I checked, the police are not a private entity and the Mayor of Minneapolis is not a private owner either.
When people price gouge and change the terms of a contract at the last minute, then the bill shouldn’t be paid and should be refused. No other Presidential campaign has racked up a bill for 1 event totaling $500,000. This is clearly a political stunt by a government to stifle speech. I’m not surprised that you endorse governments stopping free speech (yet you feel the need to call others nazi. Ironic)
Michael007
Truthseeker, you’ve got it right! It was a low class thing for him to do. A blatant attempt to stop a political event. That city didn’t do this to previous presidential candidates. Could he have made it more obvious that he’s a hater? I think he acted like an ass and I, for one, do not have ANY ‘thirst’ for him. I wish you all would stop putting “gay and Democrat” hand in hand, as if that’s the only party gay people belong to.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
A late entry into the Dem field???

Minnesota where they make people living in poverty pay 5.3% state income tax.
ShowMeGuy
Did you earn 50 cents last year? If the answer is YES…..then pay your damn income taxes. You are no better than anyone else.
Dugan
Boo hoo. Move here to Cali where its about 12% in many regions… Then talk. Lol
Cam
So this has what to do with Trump not paying his bills?
jsmu
Yo, BEEYOTCH: this is about dRUMPf’s larceny, not MN state income tax. Pathetic attempt at deflection, sweetiepie. Do try to focus; perhaps some THORAZINE would do the trick.
queerty02
Stop trying to make politicians celebrities.
ShowMeGuy
I am the only person who sees tweets from “Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump” and after reading the insanity stated within them….. thinks “there is no way that is the President’s REAL twitter. It has to be a spoof/parody troll”?
Kangol2
But did you vote for him? If so, you’re responsible for his narcissistic, treasonous insanity.

Dayum dat @ss!
dhmonarch89
it’s so funny when Trump tweets that something is ‘probably illegal’ The President of the US SHOULD know when something is illegal- that’s kind of why he’s under an Impeachment Inquiry.

MPLS sanctuary city, won’t let cops report anything to I.C.E., won’t let cops wear their uniforms when guarding sporting events and other venue events. I don’t care how good looking this guy is, he’s Anti-American, anti-law enforcement, anti-border control, in the third degree. How could anyone with half a brain support any politician like that?
xanadude
Fake news. We are talking OFF-duty cops at events.
jsmu
@Aires the Ram You are pro-fascist, pro-N*zi, pro-violent and abusive cops, and pro-dRUMPf. There is literally no vileness you do not support. Your pitiful lies and attempts at GOEBBELS BIG LIES (look it up, moron!) are just as believable as a tweet from Hair Furor. Get the eff off this site, TROLL!
Michael007
Aires the Ram – you summed that up quite well! While watching the event last night, cameras were scanning the outside showing protestors throwing things at the police. The commentator noted that the mayor had forbid the police from wearing the riot helmets for protection, stating that, “those protective helmets are too intimidating”!!!!!! Then, why in hell did they even buy them in the first place. It’s pretty bad that there are places in America where criminals are put in first place over authority and law and order. Pathetic.

Hunk? Ok.

Take it from a Minneapolis resident, Frey is a pompous you know what. He’s all about show, and there is very little substance. He’s no different than many politicians. He says what he thinks will get him elected, and then does nothing. Not very sexy to me or many of my fellow residents.
jsmu
Turned you down, did he, sweetiepie?
guy3030301
You are totally right. He is a pompous individual. It’s all about him.

He looked a lot better before he started dancing ….. or, whatever that was he was doing in the video.

Name calling is awesome. We’ve already got fighting in the streets. No matter who wins in 2020 I have no doubt we’re headed for civil war. Or we could seek to build bridges to avert it. Doing so will require critical thinking, using neutral and mixed sources of information, and listening to what the people you don’t like have to say – REALLY listening rather than assuming or shouting down. Otherwise, yes, the country is on fire come November 4, 2020 (I think). It’s great to hurl insults but useless in making things better.
guy3030301
I went to high school with him, he was not gay friendly, he made fun of me all the time. He was not accepting of people who were different, he was a jerk. It doesn’t surprise me he made it into politics. But from someone who personally was teased by him, i have no respect for him. Everything was a joke to him. It makes me feel like shit to see him acting as a supporter for LGBT rights when as a young adult he was so hurtful.
