President Donald Trump did what he does best – trolled his Democrat critics – in an early Saturday morning Truth Social post over their repeatedly false claims that Iran bested the U.S. during the recently concluded conflict.
“Radical Left fools and Dumocrats realize how well we have done in our War against Iran, with their Country being completely defeated militarily,” Trump wrote before taking a verbal potshot at the 44th president.

“Obuma just kept giving them $Billions in cash, and never used our then depleted military for what should have been done to reign in the World’s number one sponsor of terror, Iran,” he wrote.
“They had ZERO respect for him. They thought he was, like Sleepy Joe Biden, a weak and ineffective leader, and on this they were 100% correct,” said the president.
“Iran got away with ‘murder’ for 47 years, until I came along. Then it all changed. AMERICA IS BACK!!!” he concluded.
Trump’s comments come on the heels of a new survey showing that most Americans approve of the peace deal he made with Iran.
Trump highlighted the findings in a separate Truth Social post after sharing results from a Quantus Insights survey measuring public reaction to the agreement.

“Very popular agreement, except for the Fake News and their partner, the Dumocrats!” Trump wrote.
According to the Quantus Insights poll, 56% of likely voters said they approve of the agreement between the United States and Iran.
The survey found that 43% strongly approve and 13% somewhat approve.
Another 13% said they disapprove of the agreement. Sixteen percent said they neither approve nor disapprove. Fifteen percent said they were unsure.
The survey was conducted among 1,000 likely voters on June 16 and June 17.
The agreement calls for an end to hostilities between Washington and Tehran, the reopening of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and a 60-day negotiation period focused on Iran’s nuclear program and sanctions.
While Trump has highlighted the Quantus poll as evidence of public support, other surveys paint a more complicated picture.
A recent YouGov survey found that many Americans remain unconvinced the agreement will benefit the United States.
According to that poll, 52% of U.S. adults said the country would either be worse off or no better off if the agreement is ultimately finalized.
The findings suggest that many voters remain uncertain about whether the deal represents a significant strategic victory for Washington.
The YouGov poll also found that some respondents believe Iran could benefit from the agreement or emerge largely unaffected by its terms.
Reaction on Capitol Hill has reflected similar uncertainty.
Sen. John Kennedy initially expressed skepticism about the prospects of a lasting agreement before softening his position after reviewing the memorandum of understanding.
“I think we ought to give peace a chance,” Kennedy said on the Senate floor Thursday.
Even the hawkish Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham has praised the deal.
“Completely agree with President Trump’s analysis that Iran’s capability to generate another October 7 or continue to be the largest state sponsor of terrorism on the planet has been massively degraded,” the senator said.
“To those who say Iran is stronger now than before, that is an insult to the American military and it is delusional thinking because the Iranian economy is in shambles,” Graham added in an X post.
“Mr. President, continue to try to find a diplomatic solution to Iran’s nuclear ambitions and other issues that have plagued the world since 1979,” he continued.
“The day diplomacy is off the table will present America and our allies with some very stark choices,” he added.
“In the meantime, as we pursue diplomacy, make it crystal clear that Israel will not have to tolerate being attacked by Iranian proxies who cause parts of Israel to be uninhabitable. Pray for peace,” he said.
