Trump has made some bold demands. But this is beyond anything we’ve ever seen.
Now Donald Trump called for the deportation of these sitting U.S. Congresswomen.
President Donald Trump, demonstrating his characteristic forthrightness in the face of disruption, sharply rebuked Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib for their unruly outbursts during his State of the Union address, labeling them “lunatics” and reviving calls to “send them back” in a move that underscores his commitment to maintaining decorum and focus on American priorities.
Trump’s Bold Stand Against SOTU Disruptors
In a fiery Truth Social post following the February 25, address, Trump didn’t mince words about the chaotic interruptions that marred what he described as a “very elegant” and “important and beautiful event.”
He wrote: “When you watch Low IQ Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, as they screamed uncontrollably last night at the very elegant State of the Union, such an important and beautiful event, they had the bulging, bloodshot eyes of crazy people. LUNATICS, mentally deranged and sick who, frankly, look like they should be institutionalized. We should send them back from where they came.”
This response highlights Trump’s resolve to call out behavior that detracts from critical national discussions on issues like border security and homeland funding.
Outbursts and Provocations from Omar and Tlaib
During the speech, Omar repeatedly heckled Trump, shouting “You are a m*rderer” and “You’re a liar” amid his remarks on strengthening borders.
Tlaib, seated alongside her, sported provocative buttons reading “F— ICE” and “STAND WITH SURVIVORS RELEASE THE FILES,” and chimed in with objections like “Alex wasn’t a criminal,” referencing Alex Pretti, an armed individual k*lled by federal agents during immigration-related unrest in Minneapolis.
The pair scowled throughout and exited the chamber prematurely, actions that many viewed as disrespectful to the solemnity of the occasion and counterproductive to constructive dialogue.
Extending Criticism to De Niro and Echoing Past Resolve
Trump extended his critique to actor Robert De Niro, who had appeared on MSNBC urging resistance against him, branding De Niro “sick and demented” with “an extremely Low IQ” and suggesting he “get on a boat” with Omar and Tlaib.
He added: “When I watched him break down in tears last night, much like a child would do, I realized that he may be even sicker than Crazy Rosie O’Donnell, who is right now in Ireland trying to figure out how to come back into our beautiful United States. The only difference between De Niro and Rosie is that she is probably somewhat smarter than him, which isn’t saying much.”
These comments recall Trump’s 2019 directive for progressive lawmakers to “go back” to their origins, a stance rooted in his America First ethos—Omar, a Somali refugee who became a U.S. citizen in 2000, and Tlaib, born in Detroit to Palestinian immigrants.
With no responses from the trio, Trump’s unfiltered approach continues to rally supporters who appreciate his defense against what they see as radical distractions from real progress.
