This being a reference to her infamous line about the 9/11 attack, "Some people did something."
"She pleaded for compassion for ISIS
...embracing their inner Islamic Brute...recruits right here in Minnesota," the president said, before detailing her history "of launching virulent antisemitic screeds, whether you like it or not."
"How do you have such a person representing you in Minnesota?" Trump said, before joking, "I’m very angry at you people right now."
"She is a disgrace to our country. She is one of the big reasons that I am going to win and the Republican party is going to win Minnesota in 13 months," he declared.
Omar was quick to respond to the president’s remarks, using his words to chase the Benjamins.
Taking to Twitter, she said: "At his rally just now, Trump called me an ’America-hating socialist’ and a ’disgrace.’ He shouted xenophobic conspiracy theories about me. He scolded my district for voting for me. His hate is no match for our movement. Stand with me by donating now."

While Minnesota is a decidedly blue state,

the smartest woman in the world,usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away...
won by a small margin in the 2016 election, beating Trump by just 45,000 votes, or 1.5%, Trump was adamant about carrying the state, saying "We are going to win this state."
Many in the media jumped on Trump’s attack of Omar as being over the top, but the president avoided some of the more controversial aspects of her life.
Things such as the persistent allegations that she married her biological brother to commit immigration fraud, and that she is reportedly having an extramarital affair with a campaign consultant, who is also married. There is also the controversy over thousands of dollars being steered to the alleged lover. In the face of these reported misdeeds, Omar’s husband has filed for divorce.
So, it’s possible to say that President Trump was showing "restraint."
