On Tuesday (December 9), Trump held a rally in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania as he begins campaigning for the 2026 midterm elections. During the stop, Trump jokingly threatened his Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent.

He issued a direct warning to the Treasury Secretary while speaking about the Minnesota Somali fraud scandal. Trump continued to demand prosecutions and threatened consequences for his own Cabinet member. He said:

[Joe] Biden and the radical left Democrats turned Pennsylvania into a dumping ground for hundreds of thousands of migrants from the most dysfunctional places on earth, like Somalia, and gave them billions and billions of your taxpayer dollars. But we didn’t really give it. It was stolen. And those people should go to jail! Jail! And if they don’t go to jail, Scott Bessent is toast! He’s toast!

I’ll tell you, that could be the easiest case. I think it’s too easy for you. Just give it to your assistants. They can do that case. These people are crooks. They don’t work. 91% unemployment. Okay?”

Trump then continued to reference his beef with Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a native of Somalia, and the allegations claiming she “married her brother” to get into America. He said:

“It’s a scam and it’s headed up by the crooked Congresswoman. What ever happened to her brother by the way? Is he still around? Yeah he went low. He’s not happy. Would you like into him too, Scott? Would you find out [about] the brother, please?”

Finally, Trump appeared to mock Omar about being “discriminatory” and “anti-Somali.” So, he declared:

“She said, ‘How dare you say that about me? It’s discrimination.’ Let me tell you something, Black people love Trump. I got the biggest vote. I got the biggest vote with Black people! They know a scam better than anybody. They know what it is to be scammed … We got a tremendous Black vote. We got a tremendous Hispanic vote. ‘Cause we speak the truth. They get it. Everybody gets it. Pretty much everybody gets it.”
