Trump hits back at 'unpatriotic' vote after House rebukes him over Iran

Source: BBC

US President Donald Trump has hit back at lawmakers who voted to send him a rebuke over the war in Iran, calling them "unpatriotic".

On Wednesday, the US House of Representatives passed a measure seeking to halt Trump from taking further military action amid growing opposition to the war.

In a post on Truth Social, the president wrote: "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. Who would do such an unpatriotic thing."

It is unclear how much legal force the House's measure will have. The White House has dismissed its merits.

Trump's shredding of the constitution that every previous generation of Americans fought and died for is as unpatriotic as it gets.

... Trump made it crystal clear at the beginning of his first term that expected unswerving loyalty to HIM, not to the flag or that inconvenient annoyance, the Constitution of the United States.
None of those who persist in supporting this treasonous pig have any right to call themselves "patriots". If you support a traitor, you ARE a traitor. That goes for all the room-temperature IQs that wave the Confederate battle flag, too. Firing on Fort Sumpter was an act of treason, you dumb-asses! Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee & Company should have been sentenced to live out their days in Andersonville, and in the same conditions to which they subjected Union POWs.
