In a recent statement, President Donald Trump directed disparaging comments toward Congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, suggesting they should be placed in a mental institution and sent back to their "original countries." This comment followed a contentious confrontation during his State of the Union address, where both women criticized Trump's immigration policies, claiming his administration was damaging to Americans. Omar, of Somali descent, and Tlaib, of Palestinian descent, called Trump a liar during this exchange, which escalated tensions during the event.
