After Trump called himself “an extremely stable genius” during an event-turned-news conference on Thursday, Rep. Ilhan Omar Ilhan OmarOmar fires back at Trump over rally remarks: 'This is my country' Trump attacks Omar for criticizing US: 'How did you do where you came from?' Democrats scramble on COVID-19 relief amid division, Trump surprise MORE (D-Minn.) fired back, calling the president “deranged.”

“There is nothing ‘stable’ or ‘genius’ about these public rants from a president,” Omar tweeted Thursday. “Deranged, bizarre, incoherent, sad ... come to mind.”

Omar’s comments come after Trump, during an event announcing a $16 billion aid package for farmers hurt by his trade war with China, seized the moment to lash out at Speaker Nancy Pelosi Nancy PelosiHoyer: House should vote on COVID-19 aid — with or without a bipartisan deal Ruth Bader Ginsburg lies in repose at Supreme Court McCarthy threatens motion to oust Pelosi if she moves forward with impeachment MORE (D-Calif.) for saying the president threw a “temper tantrum” at a White House meeting on Wednesday.

Pelosi also hit Trump on Twitter for his comments, saying, “When the ‘extremely stable genius’ starts acting more presidential, I’ll be happy to work with him on infrastructure, trade and other issues.”

The back-and-forth started after Trump walked out of infrastructure talks with Pelosi and top congressional leaders to hold a surprise news conference in the White House Rose Garden.

He lashed out at Democrats over investigations into his administration and later said Pelosi had “lost it.” Pelosi slammed Trump in response, saying he needs a family or staff “intervention” for the good of the country.

This isn’t the first time Trump has called himself a “stable genius.” In July 2018, he paid himself the compliment while discussing his social media usage after the NATO summit.

And in January 2018, in the face of questions about his mental stability, he responded that he’s “a very stable genius” and “like, really smart.”
