What Happened Today - November 27, 2025

This is what the President of the United States posted on Thanksgiving Day.

He called Minnesota’s governor “seriously retarded.” He mocked Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) “swaddling hijab” and repeated the debunked smear that she married her brother. He described Somalia as “decadent, backward, and crime ridden… essentially not even a country.”

When 20-year-old National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom succumbed to her wounds, Trump swung into action with a holiday press conference and a “Third World Countries” immigration ban. It isn’t about security. His own inspector general confirmed thorough vetting of Afghan refugees.

When CBS’s Nancy Cordes cited that report, he called her “stupid” three times. When the New York Times documented his fatigue and limited schedule earlier in the week, he called Katie Rogers “ugly, inside and out.” Counting his “Quiet, piggy” statement on Air Force One, he’s attacked three female journalists in two weeks.

As always, he’s using tragedy to justify crackdowns he already wanted and dehumanizing anyone who isn’t male, white, and agreeing with him.

Today's Quote

As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for ‘prey’ as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst ‘Congressman/woman’ in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how ‘badly’ she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation, which is essentially not even a country for lack of Government, Military, Police, schools, etc…
