Washington DC [US], June 4 (ANI): US President Donald Trump on Thursday slammed the House of Representatives for a “meaningless vote” designed to force him to end the Iran war and also bashed the four Republican lawmakers for supporting such an “unpatriotic thing.”
On Wednesday, the US House of Representatives voted to halt Trump from taking further military action against Iran. Four Republicans also joined Democrats to vote against Trump to support the resolution which was passed by 215 votes to 208, and now heads to the Senate.
Trump, in a post on Truth Social, said that those who voted against him would rather see the country “fail” than give him another victory.
He said, “Yesterday, in a meaningless vote, the House voted, 4 bad Republicans and all of the Dumocrats, to limit my War Powers, right in the middle of my final negotiations to end the War with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Who would do such an unpatriotic thing. They know where the negotiations stand. The Democrats are fueled by Trump Derangement Syndrome. They would rather have our Country fail than give me another, of many, victories. The four Republicans, that’s a whole other story – They’re GRANDSTANDERS! They should be ashamed of themselves. MAGA!!! President DJT.”
The vote marks the first successful congressional challenge to Trump since the US and Israel jointly launched military strikes against Iran three months ago on February 28. However, the measure, will ultimately face a presidential veto. (ANI)
