Trump Demands De Niro Leave US After SOTU Speech
President Donald Trump couldn’t walk away from his State of the Union address without letting his critics get under his skin.
Though the speech was ripe with overblown boasts and self-congratulations about the first year of his second term in office, Trump sounded rather defensive as he addressed an indignant Truth Social post to his haters on Wednesday afternoon.
Taking aim at foes in Washington DC and beyond in the testy tirade, he proposed deporting Democrat Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, and Oscar-winning Robert De Niro for daring to defy him.
“When you watch Low IQ Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, as they screamed uncontrollably last night at the very elegant State of the Union, such an important and beautiful event, they had the bulging, bloodshot eyes of crazy people, LUNATICS, mentally deranged and sick who, frankly, look like they should be institutionalized,” he said of the squad members, both of whom left the Capitol building early after shouting down the president during his speech.
“When people can behave like that, and knowing that they are Crooked and Corrupt Politicians, so bad for our Country, we should send them back from where they came — as fast as possible,” Trump’s post continued. “They can only damage the United States of America, they can do nothing to help it.”
While Omar is a Somalia-born American citizen, Tlaib was born in Detroit, Michigan, making it unclear where the president was hoping to ship her off to.
Trump also lashed out at American-born actor De Niro, who called the commander in chief “failing, flailing and desperate” during the rival “State of the Swamp” event at the National Press Club in Washington DC on Tuesday night.

Raging, the president wrote, “They should actually get on a boat with Trump Deranged Robert De Niro, another sick and demented person with, I believe, an extremely Low IQ, who has absolutely no idea what he is doing or saying — some of which is seriously CRIMINAL!”
“When I watched him break down in tears last night, much like a child would do, I realized that he may be even sicker than Crazy Rosie O’Donnell, who is right now in Ireland trying to figure out how to come back into our beautiful United States,” he went on, taking a shot at his longtime nemesis and fresh expat, O’Donnell.
“The only difference between De Niro and Rosie is that she is probably somewhat smarter than him, which isn’t saying much,” Trump’s post continued. “The good news is that America is now Bigger, Better, Richer, and Stronger than ever before, and it’s driving them absolutely crazy!”
Omar and Tlaib tried to shame Trump while he went after sanctuary cities during his Tuesday night speech.
“You have killed Americans,” both shouted, referring to two US citizens shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota, last month.
