Trump rages against four 'Republican losers' who checked his Iran war powers
Jun 24, 2026 - World 
Trump attacked the Republican senators who crossed party lines and voted to check his Iran war powers.In a late-night Truth Social post, Trump claimed he had "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."He then set his sights on "Four Republican Losers" who "voted with the Dumocrats." He was referring to GOP senators Rand Paul from Kentucky, Lisa Murkowski from Alaska, Susan Collins from Maine, and Bill Cassidy from Louisiana."These Senators have just made my job more difficult," Trump continued. "But I will get it done, one way or the other, because I always get it done!"Paul, Murkowski, Collins, and Cassidy sided with Democratic senators on Tuesday in a 50-48 vote in favor of a resolution that tells Trump to end the war in Iran or seek congressional authorization to resume it. The New York Times described the resolution as "the most significant bipartisan rebuke yet of the conflict," even though it didn't carry the force of law."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," Trump wrote. "And by so doing has provided aid and comfort [to] the Enemy."
