Trump Calls Somalia "Failed" Non-Nation With No Govt Or Police, Threatens Minnesota Lawmaker Ilhan Omar


U.S. President Donald Trump has ignited controversy following remarks made at the World Economic Forum (WEF), where he criticised immigration policies, questioned cultural integration in the West, and made disparaging comments about Somalia and a U.S. lawmaker from Minnesota.

Speaking at the global economic gathering, Trump said the situation in Minnesota demonstrated that Western countries could not mass import foreign cultures, which he claimed had failed to ever build a successful society of their own.

The situation in Minnesota reminds us that the West cannot mass import foreign cultures, which have failed to ever build a successful society of their own,” Trump said.

The President went on to describe Somalia as a failed entity, asserting that it lacked functioning state institutions.

“I mean, we are taking people from Somalia and Somalia is a failed, it is not a nation, got no government, got no police, got no military, nothing,” Trump added.

He also took aim at a Minnesota congresswoman, Ilhan Omar.

Trump alleged, without providing evidence, that the lawmaker was worth $30 million and questioned her right to speak on the U.S. Constitution.

“And we have this congressperson who they just reported is worth 30 million dollars, you believe this?" he said.

Ilhan Omar talking about the constitution provides me… she comes from a country that is not a country and he is telling us how to run America,” he said.

Trump ended his remarks with a provocative statement that drew immediate attention, saying, “She’s not gonna to get away with it much longer. Let me tell you.”

The comments, delivered at a high-profile international forum attended by political and business leaders from around the world, have prompted criticism and renewed debate over immigration, race, and the tone of political discourse in the United States.

People like Ilhan Omar wouldn't be a lawmaker in Minnesota if the USA government and other western power didn't plan the removal of Siad Barre's government in Somalia.

Your action led Somalia into civil war and they have to seek for refugee and today they're now taking what belongs to Americans.

In 50 years to come, the Europe will see the real result of what they're causing today.

Support Trump fully because it is the same thing you guys tell Igbos, Not to be involved in Lagos politics. How can someone come from Somalia and be dictating to Americans how to govern themselves.

The topic is about Somalia and United States and i see no reason why you should be inserting yourself in this.

Siad Barre is responsible for Siad Barre's removal from power. Not the West or Russia. Just as the Shah was responsible for the Shah's removal from ruling Iran or Mobutu was responsible for removing Mobutu from power.

Ya run an oppresive regime, that even makes Nigerian oppresive regimes look nice, ya don;t address issues in your country...and the result is the mess that is somalia today.

The reason why Somalia is unstable? The clans that make up the country were united enough to remove Barre, but not united enough to keep together to work out a future for the country.

(Oh yes, and Barre was favoring his clan above the others. Problem).

Abeg, blaming the West, or russia or china for everything , it's like you are saying Somalians have no brains and are easily controlled by foreign powers. Or are too weak to sort out their issues. People can cause their own problems. TO quote /paraphrase the founding father of the dprk...kim il sung...who I think was a evil dictator,..... man is the master of himself.

When Somalians are ready to humble themselves and work out their differences, we go see change.

But Nigerian police are not snatching people off the street based on their skin colour, and torturing or deporting them to El Salvadorian maximum security prisons, as is currently happening under lunatic dictator Trump.

Trump is a complete dunce.

HE KNOWS NOTHING BUT HATE AND RACISM.

HE claims Somalia has never had "a functional society" because he is an illiterate of history who doesn't know that Somalia was the ancient Land of Punt, one of the richest and most successful kingdoms of the ancient world.

A Nation of Explorers WHO SAILED TO CHINA AND INDIA IN TRADE THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEFORE AMERICA EXISTED, IS WHO THIS EMPTY HEAD IS INSULTING.

Because he's a walking ball of ignorance, hate and racism.

That lady is an American citizen. Trump's grandparents came from Germany and he's no less American.
Lagos and Nnewi local politics aren't national politics. Nigeria has been magnanimous enough to allow some people who armed themselves against the nation to live, work, vote and be voted for anywhere in the country. A Nigerian of Lebanese origin was awarded GCON few days ago. Some foreign born Nigerians uses our passport and no one criticize them. Millions of people around the world including Americans naturalize in other nations and no one is saying rubbish about them.
This Trump often behave like someone without education at all. Aren't US citizens ashame of calling him president?
According to the Population Division of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, the number of U.S. migrants as of July 1, 2020, was estimated to be 2,996,223. See U.N. Migrant Stock. As at 2020, that's 6 years ago, almost 3 million US citizens are migrants in other countries so tell the orange ex convict to cut the crap.
