President Donald Trump tore into Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., Wednesday as "lunatics" after they interrupted his State of the Union address with shouting. "When you watch Low IQ Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, as they screamed uncontrollably last night at the very elegant State of the Union, such an important and beautiful event, they had the bulging, bloodshot eyes of crazy people," Trump wrote on Truth Social Wednesday. "LUNATICS, mentally deranged and sick who, frankly, look like they should be institutionalized." "We should send them back from where they came," he added. The president then took a shot at actor Robert De Niro, who appeared on MS NOW Tuesday and told Americans to "resist" Trump.

Trump wrote. "When I watched him break down in tears last night, much like a child would do, I realized that he may be even sicker than Crazy Rosie O’Donnell, who is right now in Ireland trying to figure out how to come back into our beautiful United States," the president said. "The only difference between De Niro and Rosie is that she is probably somewhat smarter than him, which isn’t saying much." The blistering post followed a highly contentious State of the Union address in which Omar repeatedly interrupted Trump’s remarks on border security and homeland funding. At several points during the speech, she shouted, "You are a murderer" and "You’re a liar," as the president discussed immigration enforcement and accused Democrats of cutting funding for the Department of Homeland Security.
