US President Donald Trump launched a blistering attack on Barack Obama and senior Democrats as tensions in the Middle East deepen, accusing his critics of “complaining bitterly” about US strikes on Iran simply because he ordered them.
In a series of posts on Truth Social, Trump said Democrats opposed the joint US-Israeli operation not on principle but out of political spite. “Whatever I do, they will be on the opposite side,” he wrote, branding his rivals “sick” and “demented” while insisting the country was “bigger, better and stronger than ever before”.
