Trump's hateful, childish, racist remarks RE: Ilhan Omar show that yes, he IS getting progressively WORSE.

I AM NOT GOING TO POST HIS REMARKS. You can get the gist of it from the subject line or go to the link if you want to read it all:

'Lying buffoon': Ilhan Omar hits back after Trump claims he tried to send her to Somalia


...but I WILL post Omar's remarks (from the same link above):

Omar responded to Trump's claims in a post on her official X account.

"From denying Somalia had a president to making up a story, President Trump is a lying buffoon," Omar wrote. "No one should take this embarrassing fool seriously."

Trump's comments come at a time when some of the president's allies in Congress are seeking to strip Omar of her committee assignments and expel her from the body.

Omar has long been a target of right-wing lawmakers, but the recent efforts to remove her accelerated after comments she made during an interview with Mehdi Hasan of Zeteo News, where she was critical of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
