The Minnesota governor expressed his gratitude and respect to all the intelligent women he is surrounded by including Gwen Walz who is an English teacher by profession. He said, “Here’s my life hack for all the guys out there, surround yourself with smart women and listen to them, and you’ll do just fine. That includes my fellow cat owner Taylor Swift, too, by the way,” as reported by Billboard.

He then made a jab at Trump as he said, “It’s really great to have all of these women help us beat the smallest man in the world: Donald Trump.” The title was picked from Swift’s track called The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.
