President Donald Trump has ridiculed what he calls 'fools' who know 'nothing' about his pending deal with Iran, escalating his war of words with Republican critics on social media. In a lengthy post on Truth Social, Trump vowed that any agreement he reaches with Tehran would be the 'exact opposite of the JCPOA disaster negotiated by the failed Obama Administration,' referring to the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
Trump's Social Media Attack
'I laugh at all of the Dumocrats, RINOS, and Fools who know nothing about the potential deal I am making with Iran,' Trump wrote, before singling out several Republican lawmakers. He targeted 'weak and ineffective people like failed Senator Thom Tillis (Soon out of office!), Bill Cassidy, who just suffered a massive Primary loss, really bad Congressman Thomas Massie, a major sleazebag who lost in a landslide to a great American Patriot (Endorsed by “TRUMP”) after showing tremendous disloyalty to his Party (and Country!), and almost all Dumocrats.'
Trump described 'Dumocrats' as 'people that have totally lost their way, constantly supporting bad policy and even worse candidates, but are constantly critical of each and every fantastic win I have.' He added: 'These people should go home and rest, they do nothing but create division and loss. In other words, they are losers!'
Deal Details and Republican Backlash
The president's outburst came amid growing Republican unease over reports that the emerging framework with Iran could reopen the Strait of Hormuz, establish a 60-day ceasefire, and continue negotiations over Tehran's nuclear program. Senators Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham have openly sounded the alarm. Cruz called any deal that leaves Iran with billions of dollars, enriched uranium, and control over the strait a 'disastrous mistake.' Graham warned that allowing Iran to retain regional dominance would be a 'nightmare for Israel' and questioned the purpose of the conflict.
Senator Roger Wicker, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, blasted the proposed ceasefire, arguing that 'everything accomplished by Operation Epic Fury would be for naught.' Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused the White House of drifting toward the Obama-era pact, prompting a sharp retort from White House communications director Steven Cheung, who told Pompeo to 'shut his stupid mouth.'
Trump's Defense
Trump insisted that any deal he signs will be 'good and proper,' unlike Obama's, which he claims gave Iran 'massive amounts of CASH' and a path to nuclear weapons. 'Our deal is the exact opposite, but nobody has seen it, or knows what it is. It isn't even fully negotiated yet,' he wrote. He urged critics to 'stop listening to the losers' and asserted that the US blockade around Iran would remain 'in full force and effect until an agreement is reached, certified, and signed.'
Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the administration's approach during a diplomatic trip to India, stating that Trump's commitment to preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon 'shouldn't be questioned by anybody.' He dismissed suggestions that the president would agree to a deal strengthening Iran's nuclear ambitions as 'absurd.'
