"Ilhan Omar, one of my favorites, and her brother are thinking about moving together. Very much in love," Trump joked.

"She's a low-IQ person, and she's also a very dishonest person. She outta get the hell out of our country. She shouldn't be here," he continued.

"She shouldn't be in our country. She also calls her brother, 'husband number one.'"

Well, Omar took to X and responded directly to the viral clip of Trump's comments about her, calling him an "idiot."

"The idiot who runs our country says this but doesn’t have the courage or evidence to come after me. This should tell you how low IQ he is," she wrote. "Trump is who needs to get the hell out of our country because he is destroying it and making us the laughing stock of the world."
