President Donald Trump recently made some incredibly shocking remarks about the Somali community in Minnesota, stating at a Cabinet meeting on March 26, 2026, that “In Minnesota, it’s very Somalia-oriented. These people come from a crooked country, disgusting country, one of the worst countries in the world. They come to our country — low IQs — and they rob us blind. Stupid people, and they rob us blind.”
His latest comments mark a significant escalation in his consistent criticism of Somali-Americans and Somalia, especially in a state where he garnered 46.68% of the vote in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Despite these numbers, Trump’s vitriolic attacks on Minnesota have continued and intensified, fueled by federal probes and deportation efforts.
