Ilhan Omar, RE Trump: "His obsession with me is creepy. I hope he gets the help he desperately needs."

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) on Tuesday delivered a biting comeback after President Donald Trump called her “garbage” during a Cabinet meeting and insulted her birth country of Somalia. He has attacked Omar on numerous occasions since Thanksgiving.

“Somalia, which is barely a country, they have no anything, they just run around killing each other,” said Trump, adding: “And 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.”

The president went on to claim that all she does is “complain,” that Omar “hates Jewish people” and that she is “a real terrible person.” Omar, the first Africa-born refugee to serve in Congress, hit back on Bluesky with two sentences accompanying a clip of Trump’s comments.

“His obsession with me is creepy,” she wrote. “I hope he gets the help he desperately needs.”
