Trump questions Ilhan Omar over revised financial disclosure and source of wealth

Trump questions Representative Ilhan Omar after her office amended a financial disclosure that initially listed her family's assets as up to $30 million, correcting the value to under $100,000 and attributing the discrepancy to an accounting error.

— Donald J. Trump questioned Representative Ilhan Omar over a multimillion-dollar revision to her financial disclosure, suggesting her initial filing included stolen money from fraudulent activities. Here is the full post on Truth Social: “Why did Ilhan Omar report a Net Worth of up to 30 Million Dollars just a short time ago, and then immediately say, “Oh, I made a mistake! It’s really $100,000.” Could it be that her highly paid accountant actually reported the money that was stolen from her fraudulent activities in Minnesota?

Would something like that be possible? Do you think the accountant actually gave the right number the first time, 30 Million Dollars, and then she was forced to disavow because she never would have been able to report where that much money came from? She must have freaked out when she saw that money! Where did her house come from, where did her cars come from, and what about her lovely place in Washington, D.C.?

I didn’t know that Congressmen and women made that kind of money, but I do know her husband, according to information and belief, makes almost nothing, so it couldn’t have come from him. How many people did she illegally bring into our Country from Somalia? America wants answers, and we want them, NOW! Trump” on October 13, 2026 at 4:25 PM ET. This is Trump’s 10th message released today, and the last post was 30 minutes ago, and it is not part of a thread. On average, Trump produces 17 posts per day since his inauguration on January 20, 2025. The move fits a broader pattern in Trump’s recent messaging, with 8 of his 491 posts over the last 30 days classified as Crime posts.

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
