It appears that President Donald Trump spent at least part of his birthday watching Fox News Channel, as shortly after Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) appeared on Fox News Sunday with host Shannon Bream to discuss President Trump’s seemingly imminent deal with Iran regarding reopening the Strait of Hormuz and attacked the president, Trump went nuclear in a post on Truth Social.
As background, the president described what might be included in the deal in a post on Truth Social, saying, ” Barack Hussein Obama’s Deal with Iran, the JCPOA, was an easy, beautiful, smooth road to a Nuclear Weapon, which Iran would have had six years ago, and would have used long before now. My Agreement with Iran is the exact opposite, A WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON! In fact, they no longer want a Nuclear Weapon, nor will they have one, either through purchase, development, or any other form of procurement.”
He added, “The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL. Our relationship with Iran is a much different and better one than previous Administrations have had. Unlike Obama’s Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in payments to them, including 1.7 Billion Dollars in green, cold cash, no money will exchange hands. At the appropriate time, when all is calm, we will go in and get the Nuclear Dust, buried deep under the powerful sunken granite mountains, thanks to our beautiful B-2 Bombers and their brilliant pilots, and downblend and destroy it, whether in Iran, or the United States. We look forward to working with Iran, and the entire Middle East, long into the future. Hopefully, this process will all work out quickly, easily, and smoothly. If it doesn’t, we have the ultimate alternative, hopefully never to be used again!”
It was after he posted that commentary on the deal that Sen. Reed appeared on Bream’s program and attacked it, saying, that President Trump’s deal puts America in a “much worse position” than the one ex-President Barack Obama had made with the Iranian state years ago, and that getting out of it was a major mistake.
Doing so, the Senator said, “We are negotiating against a country which is leadership has been eliminated. Now we have even more fanatical leadership who has much more invested and much more to leverage their position… abandoning [Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action] was a bad mistake by the president.”
Trump responded just hours later, attacking the Senator and saying, “Senator Jack Reed, a Dumocrat from R.I., lied when stating the the Deal we just made is not as good as the Obama disaster known as the JCPOA. Reed is either an outright fraud, or incompetent.”
He added, commenting on how terrible the Obama deal was, “The Obuma Deal was a road to a Nuclear weapon for Iran, cash and all, one of the worst and dumbest (hence Dumocrats!) Deals ever made by the U.S. Our Deal is a WALL against Iran ever having a Nuclear weapon, the complete opposite of Obuma.” Concluding by calling for the Senator’s impeachment, he said, “Impeach Jack Reed!”

Trump also sounded off on Benjamin Netanyahu on Truth Social, saying, “This morning’s attack on Beirut should not have happened, particularly on a special day when we are so close to a Peace Deal with Iran. Israel has the right to defend itself against threats, but the attack it was responding to was very small and meaningless, nobody was hurt, injured, or killed, and should not disrupt this important process.”
He added, “We are very close to a Deal that will bring peace to the region, including to Lebanon, and all sides should stand down. There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon, but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel. This could be the beginning of a long and beautiful peace — Let’s not blow it! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
