Trump hits back at 'unpatriotic' vote after House rebukes him over Iran
bbc.
US President Donald Trump has strongly criticized lawmakers who voted to rebuke him regarding the war in Iran. He labeled those who supported the measure as "unpatriotic" for challenging his authority during a time of conflict.
On Wednesday, the US House of Representatives passed a measure seeking to stop Trump from taking further military action. This move came amid growing opposition from the public and political leaders regarding the ongoing war. The vote represented a significant moment of tension between the legislative and executive branches of the government.
In a post on Thursday morning, Trump responded to the vote with harsh language. He described the action as a "meaningless vote" taken by "4 bad Republicans and all of the Dumocrats." He argued that the vote was an attempt to limit his War Powers right in the middle of his final negotiations to end the war with the Islamic Republic of Iran.
"Who would do such an unpatriotic thing," he asked in his statement. His comments reflected his frustration with Congress trying to curb his power during active military operations.
