Ilhan Omar is a Patriot and Trump Isn't and that's why he's so angry.

Trump's name calling episode involving Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar, and the small community of Somali-Americans is, of course, a sign of his ignorance, and possibly his mental failure. His statements display total ignorance, about Representative Omar and about the community of Somali-Americans in Minnesote, and in the United States. Trump, of course, lies about everything and then asserts that his lies are true in order to justify his unjustifiable actions. He is a person who exemplifies nothing at all when it comes to personal character and morality, or any kind of values, especially American values.

Ilhan Omar has, on four occasions, won the trust of a significant majority of the voters in her Congressional district, and Trump's recent comments, labelling her, along with other Somali-Americans "garbage," in his inartucluate, stunted vocabulary of hate, are not anywhere close to an accurate representation of who she is. In Minnesota's fifth congressional district, she is twice as popular as Trump has been among voters.

And that's saying something.

The fifth congressional district is made up of almost all of the city of Minneapolis, one of the more progressive, educated and, I don't mind using this term, sophisticated cities in the country. It also includes large swaths of the suburbs to the west of the city, an area where the population is economically healthy for the most part, above average in educational level and quite diverse racially and ethnically. It actually has lower crime rates than comparable large cities and suburbs elsewhere, though it is not completely without its problems and issues. But then, neither is any other large city. Still, the community atmosphere there is a credit to the state's and city's political leadership, who happen to be majority Democrat

1. Just an interesting observation.

There was some disgusted reaction to Trump calling Rep. Omar and Somali Americans "garbage." Seems like there's more criticism and outrage over his comments about the Reiner murder. The representative deserves our support too. She's done a good job, got elected and re-elected and re-elected. I'm not taking her for granted.
