❌〰 President Trump at a White House Correspondents’ Dinner speech:

“Ilhan Omar and her brother think they’re going to move in together. They’re very in love. She should get the hell out of our country.”

Our explanation of the story:

In this sentence, Trump attacks Ilhan Omar, a Democratic member of the U.S. Congress.

The part “Ilhan Omar and her brother are thinking about moving together. Very much in love.” refers to an old and controversial claim about Ilhan Omar and the man whom some media outlets and her opponents alleged was her brother and that he married her—a claim that Ilhan Omar has denied and that has not been definitively proven. By saying “very much in love,” Trump is, in effect, repeating the rumor in a mocking way.

The phrase “She should get the hell out of our country” is a very harsh attack, meaning:

“She should get out of our country” or “She should get her grave out of our country.”

This kind of sentence has been part of Trump’s political attacks against Ilhan Omar; he has repeatedly used her immigration and migrant background as grounds to criticize her. (Ilhan Omar was born in Somalia and later became a U.S. citizen.)
