President Donald Trump mocked Democratic critics of the recent U.S.-Iran conflict Saturday while pointing to polling that he said showed strong public support for the peace agreement reached between Washington and Tehran.
Trump made the comments in a Truth Social post in which he defended the administration’s handling of the conflict and criticized opponents who argued Iran emerged from the confrontation in a stronger position.
“Radical Left fools and Dumocrats realize how well we have done in our War against Iran, with their Country being completely defeated militarily,” Trump wrote.
The president also criticized former President Barack Obama and former President Joe Biden while arguing previous administrations failed to adequately confront Iran.
“Obuma just kept giving them $Billions in cash, and never used our then depleted military for what should have been done to reign in the World’s number one sponsor of terror, Iran,” Trump wrote.
“They had ZERO respect for him. They thought he was, like Sleepy Joe Biden, a weak and ineffective leader,” he added.
Trump concluded the post by declaring, “AMERICA IS BACK!!!”
The comments came as the president highlighted a recent survey that found majority support for the peace agreement negotiated between the U.S. and Iran.
In a separate Truth Social post, Trump shared results from a Quantus Insights poll measuring public reaction to the agreement.
“Very popular agreement, except for the Fake News and their partner, the Dumocrats!” Trump wrote.
According to the survey, 56% of likely voters said they approve of the agreement between Washington and Tehran.
The poll found that 43% strongly approve of the deal, while another 13% somewhat approve.
Thirteen percent of respondents said they disapprove of the agreement.
Sixteen percent said they neither approve nor disapprove, while 15% reported being unsure.
The survey was conducted among 1,000 likely voters on June 16 and June 17.
The agreement calls for an end to hostilities between the U.S. and Iran, the reopening of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and a 60-day negotiation period focused on Iran’s nuclear program and sanctions.
While Trump has cited the Quantus poll as evidence of broad support, other surveys have shown a more mixed response from the public.
A recent YouGov survey found that many Americans remain uncertain about the agreement’s long-term benefits.
According to that poll, 52% of U.S. adults said the country would either be worse off or no better off if the agreement is ultimately finalized, per the Conservative Brief.
The survey suggested that many respondents remain unconvinced the deal represents a major strategic victory for Washington.
Some participants also indicated they believe Iran could benefit from the agreement or experience little impact from its provisions.
Reaction among lawmakers has reflected similar divisions.
Sen. John Kennedy initially expressed skepticism about the prospects for a lasting agreement before later voicing support for continued diplomatic efforts.
“I think we ought to give peace a chance,” Kennedy said on the Senate floor Thursday.
South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham (R) also praised the agreement while encouraging continued diplomatic engagement with Iran.
“Completely agree with President Trump’s analysis that Iran’s capability to generate another October 7 or continue to be the largest state sponsor of terrorism on the planet has been massively degraded,” Graham wrote in a post on X.
The South Carolina Republican also urged the administration to continue pursuing a diplomatic solution while maintaining pressure on Iran and its regional proxies.
