The best part of the night during the Trump's State of the Union Adress (SOTUA) was when the two most popular Congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib's shouting filled the hall. The reason? A fierce clash between Trump, Omar, and Tlaib went under Trump's skin, and you could see it in his eyes.
The confrontation began with sparks flying from their eyes of both Congresswomen as Trump was standing, proudly proclaiming his achievements in border security, when suddenly Ilhan and Rashida couldn't tolerate Trump bragging and showing off. They shouted at him with all their might, accusing him outright: "You're killing Americans!" Ilhan Omar went even further, calling him a liar with a single word that shook the hall: "Liar!" Two Americans citizens who were shot dead in cold blood by ICE agents in Minneapolis were constituents of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. Omar reminds me of "Mama Bear" because she is loving and protective of her constituents.
Does Trump have a ghostwriter?
Of course, Trump isn't one to stay silent. He stormed out of the hall and took to his Truth Social platform, writing sensational headlines past midnight. Surprisingly, his post has no misspellings, no CAPS, and all coherent sentences for change. One has to wonder if 47 used a ghostwriter to respond to the only two Muslim Congresswomen.
He described the two congresswomen as "crazy, deranged, and mentally ill!" Not only that, but he said their eyes were "bulging and bloodshot like madmen's" when they screamed, and he officially demanded they be placed in a "mental institution."
Trump told US Representatives Ilhan Omar & Rashida Tlaib should be sent “back from were
they came from” after the two lawmakers shouted in protest during his State of the Union address.
The matter didn't end with calling them insane. Trump went even further, demanding their immediate deportation to their countries of origin, "Somalia and Palestine," despite them being American citizens with parliamentary immunity, not to mention it is unconstitutional.
Trump said in a harsh tone, "We have to send them back as quickly as possible," which observers considered a blatant declaration of war against all immigrants in America.
Trump spared no one, continuing his attack on the entire Somali community, accusing them of fraud and claiming that Somali hackers had looted the entire state of Minnesota. Yet he pardoned or reduced the sentences of the most 7 notorious seven fraudsters in US history because they were white Anglo-Saxons and contributed to his campaign. Here is more:

MAGA supporters and the media accused the behavior of the two lawmakers as reprehensible as well as rude and disruptive. Shall we go back and mention the times that the Republicans yelled out crap at Democrat Presidents? I don't think the Republicans are so dumb as to try to claim they are innocent of doing that.
DJT and his supporters cannot deal with the truth, they deal with misinformation, threats, and bullying. The two lawmakers were right in voicing their displeasure.

Did Trump called for throwing out MTG and Boebert, who made fools of themselves and the Republican party when they interrupted and yelled at Biden during his SOTU address? Oh, that's right. MAGATs can do it but heaven forbid the Dems should!
I still remember when Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) shouted from his seat on the Republican side of the chamber "You lie" at President Barack Obama during his September 2009 SOTUA. That was also an extraordinary breach of congressional decorum.
The incident came directly after Obama said, "There are also those who claim that our reform effort will insure illegal immigrants. This, too, is false. The reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally."
Trump and his lackeys should know this:
* What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
* Trump hated both lawmakers because they voted for his impeachment twice.
* They are both patriotic American and want America to be a kinder and nicer nation.
* The first US citizen who died in an Egyptian prison after being denied medical care for his diabetes and heart condition is Moustafa Kassem.
* Omar and Tlaib were two of 8 US lawmakers who wrote a letter to Egypt's ambassador to the US calling for the release of Moustafa Kassem, an American political prisoner who was the first US citizen to die in an Egyptian prison, after Trump, America First president, ignored his plea for help.
* Israel's Crime Minister Netanyahu barred US Reps. Omar and Tlaib from entering occupied Palestine after a tweet from President Trump in which he said, "Omar and Talib are supporters of the Boycott, Divest and Sanctions movement, also known as BDS, which calls for Israel to be held to account under international law for its occupation of the West Bank and treatment of Palestinian refugees, among other things." If that was not a betrayal, I don't know what is. Tlaib never got to say goodbye to her ailing grandmother.
* Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib are better Americans than Trump.
President Trump is a total disgrace to AMERICA. He and his cabinet need to be thrown out so this country can be great AGAIN, if ever, after all the damage that Trump has done.
