Trump Calls Iran Deal Critics 'Fools' and 'Stupid,' Dismisses Bipartisan Opposition

Hours after signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Iran to end hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, President Trump attacked critics of the agreement on Truth Social, calling them 'fools' who are 'either jealous, bad people, or stupid.' The post came amid bipartisan criticism from lawmakers who raised concerns about concessions to Iran, including sanctions relief and reduced military presence in the region. Trump defended the deal by pointing to stock market highs and falling oil prices, dismissing substantive policy concerns with personal attacks rather than addressing the specific criticisms about verification mechanisms and Iran's nuclear program.

"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." — Posted on Truth Social hours after signing the Iran MOU at the G7 summit, in response to bipartisan congressional criticism of the agreement
