Trump Takes Aim at Omar From the Dinner Stage
President Trump used his Friday night speech at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner at the Waldorf Astoria in Washington, D.C., to unload on Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. The dinner, held at 9 p.m. ET, had reportedly been rescheduled after a gunman stormed the lobby of the Washington Hilton earlier this year. While ripping California’s policies and taking shots at political opponents, Trump turned to Omar with a sharp roast. He joked that California had become so bad that Omar and her brother were “thinking about moving together,” then added, “they’re very much in love.” The line was aimed at a long-running and disputed claim about Omar’s personal history, and it landed exactly where Trump wanted it to land, right in the middle of the media class’s comfort zone.

The ‘World War Eleven’ Jab Got a Big Reaction
Trump also brought up a video that he said showed Omar referring to World War II as “World War Eleven.” He joked that when she was asked about it, “she still thought she got it right.” Then he escalated the attack, calling Omar “a dishonest person” and saying she “should get the hell out of our country.” He also repeated the “husband #1” jab tied to the same disputed allegation involving her brother. This was classic Trump at a political dinner, part roast, part campaign rally, and part verbal food fight. The press may pretend to clutch pearls, but let’s be honest, half the room probably already had the clip drafted before dessert was served.
Omar Fires Back on X
Omar did not let the remarks sit quietly. She responded on X by calling Trump “the idiot who runs our country” and saying he did not have “the courage or evidence” to come after her. She also called him “low IQ” and turned his own line back at him, writing that Trump is the one who needs to “get the hell out of our country” because, in her words, he is “destroying it” and making America “the laughing stock of the world.” That is quite a statement from a sitting member of Congress about a sitting president, though nobody should be shocked anymore when Washington turns into a middle school cafeteria with security clearances.

A Fight That Shows the Bigger Divide
The exchange highlights the deep divide between Trump and Omar, two figures who could hardly be more different in politics, style, or worldview. Trump’s supporters will see his remarks as another example of him saying out loud what polite Washington avoids. Omar’s supporters will say his comments crossed the line and targeted her background. What is clear is that both sides knew exactly what they were doing. Trump delivered a made-for-video punchline in front of the press, and Omar answered with a made-for-viral post. In today’s politics, the argument is not just over policy, it is over who gets to define America, who gets to criticize it, and who gets told to leave it.

No Omar its OUR Country
my country? you mean Somalia ya rag head cunt
Ilhan Omar has committed fraud pretty much since the first day she entered the US. Her father brought all of his children here, but Ilhan was listed as an Omar instead of an Al Said, like her brother. That is how she managed to marry him because their last names aren’t the same. Oh, and they had a “Christian” wedding ceremony. So, that is two counts of immigration fraud. Then there is the issue of the disappearing millions by going from a little under $100 thousand to over $30 million and then in less than a month, back down to under $90 thousand via “an accounting error.” Yeah, right. Who believes that?
The only reason Omar is still in the country is because she is an African living in America and is not held accountable for her actions and fraud! per the double standards justice system!
Ilhan Omar is a POS that needs to be flushed down the toilet — like many years ago.
If America is a oppressive and racist nation one wonders why she even came here in the first place. (Besides mooching off welfare.)
If the u.s.govt. can’t find enough illegal shit on Omar to kick her ass out of OUR country, somebody is not doing their job.
