‘Fourth world nation’: Trump slams Somalia, Ilhan Omar

President Donald Trump criticized Somalia as a "fourth world nation" during remarks at the Oval Office, also targeting Representative Ilhan Omar in his comments. Omar, a Democratic congresswoman from Minnesota, was born in Somalia and came to the United States as a refugee before becoming a naturalized citizen. Trump's remarks represent a continuation of his previous criticisms of Omar, whom he has targeted since her first election to Congress in 2018. The comments come as Trump has frequently used inflammatory language about immigration and certain countries during his presidency. Omar has been one of Trump's most vocal Democratic critics and a frequent target of his attacks on social media and in public statements.
