Trump eviscerates four Republicans who voted against his Iran war in early-morning rant

  • Donald Trump criticized "grandstanding" Republicans after the House of Representatives voted to limit his war powers concerning Iran.
  • In a Truth Social post, Trump stated that "4 bad Republicans and all of the Dumocrats" voted to restrict his ability to strike Iran, calling their actions "unpatriotic" amidst ongoing negotiations.
  • The resolution, which passed 215-208, saw Republicans join Democrats in approving the measure.
  • Trump accused Democrats of being driven by "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and suggested the four Republicans were "GRANDSTANDERS" who should be ashamed.
  • Despite passing the House, the resolution still requires approval from the Republican-controlled Senate and is largely considered symbolic, with the White House expected to disregard it.
