The White House appears more than ready for Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., to pack her bags and head back to Somalia — the country she left decades ago.
On Monday, the official White House X account shared a photo of President Donald Trump waving goodbye through a McDonald’s drive-thru window. The image, taken during a 2024 campaign stop in Pennsylvania, was posted in response to a clip of Omar bragging that she wasn’t worried about being deported.
“I have no worry, I don’t know how they’d take away my citizenship and like deport me,” Omar said in the video.
The White House’s reply? A silent wave goodbye.
Trump’s team didn’t mince words. The president himself had already said earlier this month that Omar “should go back,” posting the message alongside a video of her speaking Somali.
“I met the head of Somalia,” Trump told reporters in September. “And I suggested that maybe he’d like to take her back. He said, ‘I don’t want her.’”
Omar fired back with a typical response — calling Trump a “lying buffoon” and accusing him of fabricating the story.
The feud between Trump and Omar is nothing new. The congresswoman — one of the far-left “Squad” members alongside Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — has made a career out of bashing America while enjoying its freedoms. Trump famously called her out years ago, telling her and her allies to “go back” to their “broken and crime-infested” countries if they hate the U.S. so much.
Omar was born in Somalia and fled during the civil war in 1991. Her family was granted asylum by the United States, arriving in Virginia before settling in Minnesota. She became a U.S. citizen in 2000 — and has since used her platform to attack the very country that took her in.
Trump’s message was simple: if you don’t love America, you’re free to leave it.
