WASHINGTON — President Trump kicked off Memorial Day on Monday by bashing “all of the Dumocrats, RINOS, and Fools who know nothing about the potential deal I am making with Iran.”
“Happy Memorial Day to all, including the Dumocrats, who disrespect our Military and all of the tremendous success that it has had over the last year. God Bless those that have made the ultimate sacrifice. I love you all!” Trump posted on Truth Social at 6:18 a.m. ET.
The president has made a habit of attacking his political enemies in social media posts marking national holidays throughout his two terms in office, and Monday proved to be no exception.
Earlier, Trump vented that critics of talks with Iran “should go home and rest, they do nothing but create division and loss. In other words, they are losers!”
Discussions with Tehran had dominated Trump’s weekend as his team scrambled to see if it could get a deal over the finish line. An initial framework for negotiations could be agreed to in days, according to US officials, though the president later clarified that he had instructed his team not to “rush” into anything.
“I laugh at all of the Dumocrats, RINOS, and Fools who know nothing about the potential deal I am making with Iran, things that haven’t even been negotiated yet,” Trump seethed on Truth Social before gloating over recent primary defeats of Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.).
“The deal with Iran will either be a great and meaningful one, or there will be no deal,” he continued. “It will be the exact opposite of the JCPOA disaster negotiated by the failed Obama Administration.”
The rumored framework had rattled GOP hawks, who fretted that it would be too soft on Iran, while some Democrats needled Trump by suggesting that the framework was similar to the Obama-era Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. Trump pulled the US out of that 2015 nuclear agreement during his first time.
The White House is “confident” that Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has signed off on the “broad template” for a peace plan, including agreeing “in principle” to disposing of the Islamic Republic’s enriched uranium, a senior official said Sunday.
