President Donald Trump unleashed a furious post on Truth Social Wednesday, targeting two Democratic lawmakers and a Hollywood actor following his record-long State of the Union address.
Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) shouted at Trump during the speech and left before it concluded, prompting a frantic response from the 79-year-old president. On Truth Social, Trump called the lawmakers “Low IQ,” “lunatics,” and “mentally deranged,” adding that they looked like they “should be institutionalized.”
Trump escalated further, threatening to deport Omar, born in Somalia, and Tlaib, born in Detroit, claiming that “they can only damage the United States of America, they can do nothing to help it.”
The president also turned his ire toward actor Robert DeNiro, criticizing the Oscar-winning star for his public remarks about Trump. He described DeNiro as “sick and demented,” accused him of having “an extremely Low IQ,” and suggested some of the actor’s statements were “seriously criminal.”
Trump compared DeNiro unfavorably to Rosie O’Donnell, who is currently living abroad, noting that “the only difference between De Niro and Rosie is that she is probably somewhat smarter than him, which isn’t saying much.”
Despite the vitriol, Trump framed his post with a self-congratulatory note, claiming, “The good news is that America is now Bigger, Better, Richer, and Stronger than ever before, and it’s driving them absolutely crazy!”
This post marks the latest in a string of aggressive social media attacks by Trump against political opponents and celebrity critics, highlighting the continued tension following his State of the Union address.
