Trump doubles down on attacks against Ilhan Omar, says she ‘does nothing but b***h’

MOUNT POCONO, PENNSYLVANIA: President Donald Trump took a jab at Democrat Rep Ilhan Omar on Tuesday, December 9, saying she “does nothing but b***h.”

In recent weeks, Trump has intensified his rhetoric toward Omar, targeting both her and Somalis. He called the congresswoman “garbage” during a Cabinet meeting last week.

Trump says Ilhan Omar is 'always complaining'

During his speech about his administration's economic success in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, Donald Trump did not hold back in criticizing Ilhan Omar.

The POTUS said, "I love this Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is, with the little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but b***h. She's always complaining."

"We oughtta get her the hell out!" Trump added, as the crowd yelled, "Send her back!" The president also claimed that Omar "comes from the worst country in the world," asserted she was in the US illegally from Somalia, and accused her of having "married her brother."

Trump also attacked Somalia, saying, "They have no parliament. They don’t know what the hell the word parliament means. They have nothing. They have no police. They police themselves. They kill each other all the time."

Somalia has recently been at the center of an alleged fraud scandal in Minnesota, which Trump referred to as the "great big Minnesota scam."

The US Attorney’s Office in Minnesota has charged several defendants across multiple schemes, including housing-assistance fraud, pandemic child-nutrition fraud, and millions of dollars in false billing for autism therapy. 

Trump touts initiative to eliminate taxes on tips and overtime

During his speech on Tuesday, Donald Trump promoted his initiative to eliminate taxes on tips and overtime hours during an address intended to highlight the administration’s efforts to improve affordability.

The president pointed to people in the Mount Pocono crowd whom he said had benefited from the initiative. He highlighted a worker, a Marine Corps veteran, who logged more than 400 hours of overtime and who, Trump said, will now "take home thousands of dollars extra, which he plans to use to buy a first home."

He also invited a woman onstage, a mother who homeschools her children, who said her family will benefit from Trump’s policies.

Standing beside Trump, the woman said, "The no tax on tips is incredible. No tax on overtime is incredible for my husband. It all comes back to our family. It saves us and it’s for the future of our children."

During the speech, the president also blamed Joe Biden for high prices. He told the crowd, "Democrats are like ‘prices are too high.’ Yeah, they’re too high because they cause them to be too high. But now they’re coming down."
