President Trump slammed the Democrats, saying they suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome, and targeted the four Republicans calling them “grandstanders”. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Tom Barrett of Michigan, Warren Davidson of Ohio and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania voted with Democrats.
President Donald Trump on Thursday slammed a vote in the House of Representatives to end the war in Iran and order the withdrawal of American troops from the Iran war, and said “unpatriotic” move disrupted negotiations with Tehran.
“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,” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform.
Besides slamming the Democrats and alleging that they suffered from Trump Derangement Syndrome, the president targeted the four Republicans who also voted and called them “grandstanders”.

“The Democrats are fuelled 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,” Trump wrote in the post.
On Wednesday, the US House inflicted a political blow to Trump, and voted for the first time to end the war in Iran.
