Trump: The people of Minnesota must "resist" Somali immigrants, the government will assist you"
The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has launched a verbal attack on the Somali community living in the United States, particularly in Minnesota.
Trump called on the people of Minnesota to "resist" Somali immigrants in a post he shared on his Truth Social platform, promising that the federal government would help if the state needed it.
"The state of Minnesota, which was once a great state, is being taken over by Somali immigrants. Violence, murders, and chaos are occurring throughout the state. The people of Minnesota must resist. Your state government has failed you and abandoned you," Trump wrote, before criticizing the state governor, Tim Walz.
Trump described the governor as incompetent, accusing him of not wanting to engage with these issues.
"He only wants to leave the state while stealing whatever he can, and then live a quiet life. Somalis should not be allowed to escape what they are doing. They see you as weak people who understand nothing. Resist, people of Minnesota, resist! If you need it, the federal government will come to help you," Trump said.
The president also urged Governor Walz and the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, to urgently request federal assistance, saying: "Leave the rest to us."
The state of Minnesota in the United States is the state with the largest Somali population compared to other states.
Trump has attacked Somalis multiple times
This is not the first time Trump has launched a verbal attack on Somalis living in that country and Somalia itself, having mentioned them several times in public places and meetings while always linking them to Congresswoman Ilhan and the government of Somalia.
He described Somali Americans as coming from "Hell," and also stated that they are "trash."
Once again, he called Somalis those who are "not needed" inside America, claiming they are not workers.
