Trump: Somalian immigrants have destroyed our country

For a second day in a row, President Donald Trump launched into a hate-filled rant against Somalia and Somali immigrants living in the U.S., saying they’ve “destroyed Minnesota” and “our country.”

Minnesota, Trump said, is “a hellhole right now. The Somalians should be out of here. They’ve destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain.”

The focus on Minnesota comes after news reports that dozens of people of Somali descent have been convicted in fraud schemes related to Covid relief that netted over $1 billion. There are about 80,000 people of Somali descent in Minnesota.

Trump’s remarks also coincided with the first day of his administration's immigration crackdown in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. 

Speaking to reporters after an event in the Oval Office, Trump amped up his attacks on Somali-born Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., on Wednesday saying, “She shouldn’t be allowed to be a congresswoman, and I’m sure people are looking at that. She should be thrown the hell out of our country.”

“She’s always talking about the Constitution," Trump continued in a mocking tone. "Go back to your own country and figure out your own constitution," he said of Omar, who fled Somalia during the country’s civil war and lived in a Kenyan refugee camp before coming to the U.S. at age 12.

The president made his latest dehumanizing remarks after being told that Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, a Democrat, said he was “proud” to have a large Somali community in his city following Trump’s trashing of Somalis at a Cabinet meeting Tuesday.

“Then he’s a fool. I wouldn’t be proud,” Trump said.

“Look at their nation. Look how bad their nation — it’s not even a nation. It’s just people walking around killing each other,” he said.

"Somalia is considered by many to be the worst country on Earth," Trump said later, adding that "what the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable."

"They have destroyed Minnesota," he said.

Trump has complained about Somali immigrants in Minnesota in escalating terms.

On Tuesday, he called Omar "garbage" and said he did not want Somalis in the U.S.

"Somebody will say, ‘Oh, that’s not politically correct.’ I don’t care. I don’t want them in our country. Their country is no good for a reason,” he said.

Oop he said the "go back to your own country" thing. I'm sure the 65+ white crowd will eat their little hearts out.

Mostly 'cause they can't afford to eat anything else but who needs groceries when your president hates the same people you do?
