Donald Trump on Saturday declared that “we’ve already won” the Iran war, raising eyebrows with critics.
Trump over the weekend took to Truth Social, his own social media network, to rebuke a longtime US ally. At the same time, Trump prematurely declared victory in the Middle East firefight.
“The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East,” Trump wrote. “That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer — But we will remember. We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
Those comments caused an instant backlash on X on Saturday.
Ex-GOP lawmaker Adam Kinzingersaid, “Trump is no kidding the stupidest, dumba–est idiot to ever be president. And he’s a baby. I mean such a thin skinned little boy.”
PatriotTakes, which tracks right-wing extremism, added, “Trump calls his war in Iran a war that he has already won. Meanwhile, his MAGA defenders in Congress claim it is not a war.”
The Tennessee Holler said, “Trump tries to humiliate Starmer for joining his bad war ‘after we’ve already won.’”
“Won what? The ‘mission accomplished’ vibes are strong — easy to say you ‘won’ when nobody knows what you were playing for,” the account added. “And [Starmer] learning Trump will always drive the bus over you.”
DD Geopolitics also weighed in, saying simply, “Trump publicly humiliating the UK on Truth Social for hesitating to join the war. ‘We don’t need them any longer, But we will remember. We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won!’ ‘Already won.’ Bases burning across six countries. THAAD radars destroyed. Hormuz closed. Soldiers medevacked home in the dark. ‘Six’ dead in Kuwait. Oil markets in freefall.”
