WASHINGTON, D.C.: President Donald Trump shared controversial words for Democrats while slamming them for opposing the ongoing Iran war. The Republican leader termed the opposition as “traitors” and accused them of hurting “the very strong position we are in with respect to Iran.”

Beginning his lengthy post on his Truth Social account, Trump wrote, “Despite World War I lasting 4 years, 3 months, and 14 days, World War II lasting 6 years and 1 day, the Korean War lasting 3 years, 1 month, and 2 days, the Vietnam War lasting 19 years, 5 months, and 29 days, and Iraq lasting 8 years, 8 months, and 28 days, they like to say that I promised 6 weeks to defeat Iran, and actually, from the Military standpoint, it was far faster than that, but I’m not going to let them rush the United States into making a Deal that is not as good as it could have been.”



Trump says Democrats are 'weak, pathetic and traitors'

He further asserted that he “read the Fake News saying that I am under 'pressure' to make a Deal. THIS IS NOT TRUE! I am under no pressure whatsoever, although, it will all happen, relatively quickly!”

In the online post, Trump once again justified his action against Tehran, calling it the US way of correcting “the MESS that other Presidents let happen because they didn’t have the Courage or Foresight to do what had to be done with respect to Iran.”

“We’re in it, and it will be done RIGHT, and we won’t let the Weak and Pathetic Democrats, TRAITORS ALL, who for years have been talking about the Dangers of Iran, and that something has to be done, but now, since I’m the one doing it, belittle the accomplishments of our Military and the Trump Administration,” he added.

Trump claims Iran war is 'more complex operation' than Venezuela

The US commander-in-chief even went on to claim that the Iran war will be “perfectly executed, on the scale of Venezuela, just a bigger, more complex operation. The result will be the same.”

Concluding his post, Trump hailed himself and his works as the president of the US as he added, “In my Second Term, I am properly and judiciously using our Military to solve problems left to us by others of far less understanding or competence.”

Trump claims US winning against Iran

This came as in another Truth Social post Trump claimed that the US is winning the Iran war. "I’m winning a War, BY A LOT, things are going very well, our Military has been amazing," he noted.

He even blasted the fake news as he added, “if you read…The Failing New York Times, the absolutely horrendous and disgusting Wall Street Journal, or the now almost defunct, fortunately, Washington Post, you would actually think we are losing the War.”
