President Trump blasted critics of the Iran deal as “fools” for not thinking he was tough on Tehran, describing them as “either jealous, bad people, or stupid.”

Trump blasted his critics for slamming his Iran deal. Pierre Teyssot / SplashNews.com“These fools, who think I haven’t been tough enough on Iran, when the Stock Market Just Hit A RECORD HIGH, and Oil prices are “tumbling” down, are either jealous, bad people, or stupid,” he wrote on Truth Social, shortly after he returned to the White House from his trip to Europe.
Several Republican lawmakers publicly trashed the plan, complaining that the US gave too many concessions to Iran.
“Reagan is rolling over in his grave,” retiring Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) said.
