“Unhinged Lunatic”: Ilhan Omar Calls For Trump’s Impeachment After Expletive-Laden Iran Rant

WASHINGTON / MINNEAPOLIS — A fierce digital war has erupted between Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and right-wing activist Laura Loomer, following an explosive social media post by President Donald Trump regarding the ongoing conflict with Iran. The exchange has highlighted a deepening chasm in Washington, as even some of Trump’s staunchest former supporters join Democrats in questioning his fitness for office.

1. The Spark: Trump’s “Power Plant Day” Ultimatum
   The controversy began on Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026, when President Trump took to Truth Social to issue a profanity-laced 48-hour ultimatum to Tehran. Demanding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, Trump warned of a devastating infrastructure strike.

“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F* Strait, you crazy b**, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.” — Donald J. Trump

The post, which ended with the Islamic phrase “Praise be to Allah” (Alhamdulillah), was immediately mocked by foreign embassies and condemned by domestic critics as a threat of potential war crimes.

2. Omar Calls for the 25th Amendment
   Rep. Ilhan Omar, a frequent target of the president’s rhetoric, was among the first to call for his immediate removal. Sharing the president’s rant, she argued that his behavior had crossed a constitutional red line.

The Stance: Omar labeled Trump an “unhinged lunatic” and insisted he is no longer fit to lead.

The Demand: She called for the invocation of the 25th Amendment—which allows the Vice President and Cabinet to remove a president unable to discharge their duties—and a fresh round of impeachment proceedings.

Context: Omar has consistently described the conflict as an “illegal and unjustified war” since hostilities began on February 28.

3. Laura Loomer Unleashes “ICE” Rant
   Longtime Trump ally Laura Loomer responded to Omar’s post with a series of vitriolic attacks that have drawn widespread condemnation for their Islamophobic content.

The Retaliation: Loomer referred to the Congresswoman as a “dirty rat” and a “jihadist invader,” echoing unproven allegations of immigration fraud.

The Threat: Loomer openly called for Omar and her family to be “raided by ICE” and forcibly deported to Somalia. “If ICE has to drag her by her sweaty hijab kicking and screaming… I do not care,” Loomer wrote on X.

The Policy Push: Loomer concluded her rant by calling for a total ban on Muslims holding public office in the United States, describing them as a “stain on our country.”

4. A Fractured Base: “Front Row Joes” Turn Away
   Perhaps most surprising is that Omar is not alone in her call for the 25th Amendment. Trisha Hope, a well-known January 6th activist and former national delegate for Trump, revealed she has also “lost faith” in the President.

“I am as MAGA as they get… 42 rallies, national delegate… He has absolutely lost me. I’m eyeing the 25th Amendment for him because he’s lost his damn mind,” Hope shared on social media.
