 Trump knocks GOP senators who voted for Iran war powers resolution, making his ‘job more difficult’
by Sarah Davis - 06/24/26 8:36 AM ET

President Trump lashed out at the Republican lawmakers who supported an Iran war powers resolution in the Senate on Tuesday.

Several GOP lawmakers voted with nearly all Democrats to approve the measure, including Sens. Bill Cassidy (La.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Susan Collins (Maine) and Rand Paul (Ky.).

“Four Republican Losers voted with the Dumocrats, and Iran asked my people, ‘what does that all mean?’ These Senators have just made my job more difficult, but I will get it done, one way or the other, because I always get it done!” the president wrote in a Truth Social post on Tuesday evening.

While the resolution has no force of law, it does send a strong message to the Trump administration to remove U.S. troops from the nearly four-month-long conflict.

The White House is engaged in ongoing negotiations with Tehran after the president signed a memorandum of understanding to restart nuclear talks.

“So, I have Iran on the ‘ropes,’ ready to go down for the fall, willing to give us practically anything, and for the first time in decades, respecting the hell out of the United States and its President, ME, and the U.S. Senate decides to have a poorly timed and meaningless War Powers Act Vote, telling the Number One Sponser of Terror in the World that the United States doesn’t  like what I am doing to them, and I must stop, and by so doing has provided aid and comfort the Enemy,” Trump continued in his Tuesday post.

The Senate resolution follows the passage of a similar measure in the House earlier this month. Four Republicans joined all Democrats in the lower chamber to support the resolution.

Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.), the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, applauded the successful Senate resolution in a Tuesday statement shared on social media.

“I thank my Democratic colleagues and the Republicans who joined us across party lines for saying enough is enough,” Meeks said. “After months of war, billions of taxpayer dollars spent, and 14 dead U.S. service members, Trump’s illegal war hasn’t achieved a single core U.S. objective with respect to Iran.”

1 has already been primaried. Collins may lose to the Nazi, if so we just have to get good candidates to primary the other two.

Being that hostilities have ceased, all this does is weaken our negotiating position.

More like the Lincoln Project in conjunction with the Rat party are looking for scapegoats, or rather scapegoat, in their maniacal quest for a revolutionary coup.

Nope

Whether it’s higher prices or the war in Iran, voters are very well aware who is responsible and they’re punishing candidates and will continue that punishment into November

He had 60 days to kick ass and take names.  Trump whiffed, and he chicken-ed out.  The Iranians ran out the clock on Trump.

Yet around three quarters of the electorate want the war ended, don't want ground troops, and approve a deal.

I don't see where the blowback is.

From starting a war he could not win.  There is just no way Gen Z was ever going to occupy Iran, and the Iranian people knew the zionists wanted to turn their country into another Libya, so they also had little interest in hastening that outcome.  Trump got suckered into a war, and it was a devastating failure of leadership.
