President Trump dropped a rhetorical bombshell during a recent Cabinet meeting, unleashing a scathing critique of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and voicing strong opposition to Somali immigration in the United States.

During the discussion on Tuesday, Trump made headlines with pointed remarks about Omar and broader immigration policy, setting off a firestorm of debate amid reports of planned enforcement actions targeting Somali immigrants in Minnesota, The Hill reported. 

Let’s rewind to the Cabinet room, where Trump didn’t hold back, framing his concerns about immigration with a direct jab at Omar and her associates.

Trump’s Unfiltered Take on Omar

His words were sharp, calling Omar and those around her out for what he perceives as constant grievances against the country.

“These are people that do nothing but complain. When they come from hell, and they complain and do nothing but b—-, we don’t want them in our country,” Trump declared, suggesting they should return to their origins and improve conditions there.

While the sentiment is raw, it reflects a frustration among many conservatives who feel that gratitude for American opportunities should outweigh criticism—a debate that’s far from settled.

Immigration Policy Under the Spotlight

Trump’s comments weren’t just personal; they tied into a broader conversation about immigration rules during the meeting.

He expressed disdain for Somalia as a nation and doubled down on his stance against accepting immigrants from there, a position that aligns with his long-standing push for stricter border controls.

For supporters, this is Trump being Trump—unapologetic about prioritizing American interests, though critics will undoubtedly see it as a step too far.

Omar’s History and Trump’s Critique

Rep. Omar, who fled Somalia’s civil war as a child and became a U.S. citizen 25 years ago, has been a frequent target of Trump’s ire.

He claimed to have observed her for years, accusing her of harboring disdain for various groups and lacking competence, painting her as unfit for her role in Congress.

“When I see somebody like Ilhan Omar, who I don’t know at all, but I always watch her — for years, I’ve watched her — complain about our Constitution, how she’s being treated badly, our Constitution, the United States of America is a bad place, hates everybody, hates Jewish people, hates everybody,” Trump said, piling on the criticism.

Omar Fires Back on Social Media

Not one to stay silent, Omar responded swiftly via social media on Tuesday afternoon, brushing off Trump’s verbal barrage with a pointed quip of her own.

Her reply suggested his focus on her bordered on unhealthy obsession, a clever dodge that avoids engaging with the substance of his policy critique but keeps the spotlight on his tone.

Meanwhile, as federal authorities reportedly gear up for targeted immigration enforcement in Minnesota aimed at Somali individuals living unlawfully in the U.S., the timing of Trump’s remarks adds fuel to an already heated policy clash.
