WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump, known for his late-night and early-morning social media rants, has launched a blistering attack on “RINOs, Dumocrats and fools” for doubting his Iran deal in an early-morning Memorial Day tirade.

As peace talks between the US and Iran near a breakthrough, with President Trump vowing that he would not let Iran have nuclear power, the criticism over the delay and nature of the deal has also grown.

Several Republicans have also criticized Trump for his handling of war and deal negotiations.

Trump attacks GOP, ‘Dumocrats’ over Iran deal

President Donald Trump, in an early morning rant on Monday, May 25, ripped into his critics “who know nothing about the potential deal” that Trump is making with Iran.

Trump, in a post shared just after 6 am on Monday, slammed Republicans like Thom Tillis, Bill Cassidy, and Thomas Massie for their alleged criticism of Trump’s wins.



“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, 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, people that have totally lost their way, constantly supporting bad policy and even worse candidates, but are constantly critical of every fantastic win I have.”

“These people should go home and rest, they do nothing but create division and loss. In other words, they are losers! The deal with Iran will either be a great and meaningful one, or there will be no deal. It will be the exact opposite of the JCPOA disaster negotiated by the failed Obama Administration, which was a direct and open path to a Nuclear Weapon for Iran. No, I don’t do deals like that,” The Republican leader added.

Trump’s attack on Thom Tillis came a day after the outgoing Senator had voiced his skepticism about the emerging proposal during an interview with CNN.



“It doesn’t make sense to me,” Tillis said when asked about the reported deal parameters.

Trump greets Memorial Day to all



In another post that came moments after the one attacking his critics, Trump shared a message to mark the holiday, saying, “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.”



A third post soon followed, with Trump saying, “The Dumocrats have BAD POLICY, AND BAD CANDIDATES. Other than that, they are doing quite well!”
