President Trump shrugged off the House passage Wednesday of a war powers resolution that would formally end the conflict with Iran absent congressional approval.
“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,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Thursday morning.
“Who would do such an unpatriotic thing. They know where the negotiations stand. The Democrats are fueled 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!!!”
Tom Barrett of Michigan, Warren Davidson of Ohio, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Thomas Massie of Kentucky voted with 211 Democrats to approve the resolution.
Six other Republicans — Dusty Johnson of South Dakota, Tom Kean Jr. of New Jersey, Morgan Luttrell of Texas, Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman of South Carolina and Andy Ogles of Tennessee — did not vote.
