WASHINGTON — President Trump ended a televised cabinet meeting with a confusing, hate-filled, incoherent tirade focused on Minnesota. The tirade that vilified Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and. The tirade began with swipes at Governor Tim Walz, for whom the President carries grudges from the 2024 presidential campaign. Trump’s rant also savaged Ilhan Omar from the Minnesota Congressional delegation. Verbatim:

Trump: “Walz is a grossly incompetent man. There’s something wrong with him, OK? There’s something wrong with him. And when you look at what he’s done with Somalia, which is barely a country, they have no anything, they just run around killing each other. There’s no structure.
“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, how she’s being treated badly. Our Constitution, the United States of America is a bad place. It hates everybody, hates Jewish people, hates everybody. And I think she’s an incompetent person. She’s a real terrible person.
“But when I watch what is happening in Minnesota, the land of a thousand lakes or however many lakes they have — they’ve got a lot of lakes, but this beautiful place. And I see these people ripping it off and now…. I hear they ripped off Somalians ripped off that state for billions of dollars, billions. Every year, billions of dollars and they contribute nothing. The welfare is like 88 percent. They contribute nothing.
“I don’t want them in our country, I’ll be honest with you, OK? Somebody would 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. Their country stinks and we don’t want them in our country.
“I can say it about other countries too. We don’t want them — the hell we have to rebuild our country. You know, our country is at a tipping point. We could go bad; we’re at a tipping point. I don’t know if people mind me saying that, but I’m saying it. We could go one way or the other and we’re going to go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country.
“Ilhan Omar is garbage. She’s garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren’t people that work. These aren’t people that say let’s go, come on, let’s make this place great.
“These are people that do nothing but complain. They complain, and from where they came from, they’ve got nothing. You know, if they came from Paradise and they said this isn’t Paradise. But when they come from hell and they complain and do nothing but bitch we don’t want them in our country. Let them go back to where they came from and fix it.
