"'Governor' Waltz [sic] is either the most CORRUPT government official in history, or the most INCOMPETENT. Even a very low IQ person, of which there are many, should have known what was going on in Minnesota!!!" Trump wrote.
Trump has repeatedly singled out Omar in speeches and social media posts, mocking her, accusing her of being a "fraud," and suggesting she should be removed from the United States. He has also accused Omar of committing immigration fraud by marrying her brother — a claim Omar has repeatedly denied.
Earlier this week, after Omar was sprayed with a substance during a Minneapolis town hall, Trump suggested without evidence that she may have staged the incident, again calling her a "fraud."

Trump and Walz have clashed on multiple occasions since Walz became Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate, with Trump repeatedly tying the governor to Minnesota’s fraud scandals and accusing him of failed leadership.

Those attacks have intensified as investigations into the fraud have continued.
In a previous Truth Social post, Trump used an offensive slur to insult Walz, prompting public condemnation and a sharp political feud.
