President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he was in no rush to make a deal with Iran, claiming that despite the country’s attempts to coerce him into securing negotiations ahead of elections “I don’t care about the midterms” — something the internet disagreed with him about.
Trump was speaking to his cabinet during a meeting at the White House when he made the comment.
He mentioned that he thinks Tehran has tried “to put pressure on America by stretching out negotiations while Republicans are hurt politically from the negative economic impact of the war,” according to The New York Times.
“They thought they’re going to out wait me,” Trump said.
“I don’t care about the midterms,” he added.
On social media, people responded and mocked his remarks.
“A comforting remark from Trump for all Republicans seeking re-election in the midterms… DJT has repeatedly demonstrated that he doesn’t give a s— about the overwhelming majority of individuals, both in the U.S. and around the world…” political commentator and self-described business consultant DeSota, who has more than 11,000 followers, wrote on X.
“He doesn’t care bc he’s not on the ballot in 2028–the golden dome coupled with the ballroom/bunker will be a nice resting place after 1/20/29,” Mason, a self-described fund manager and Iraq war veteran who frequently comments on politics, posted on X.
“Comparing the Republican primaries to the midterms is dumb af,” Alex Cole, a progressive news commentator with more than 327,000 followers wrote on X.
“Trump: Elon will rig them, we’ll keep doing crimes, world keeps on spinning. Have we talked about the ballroom yet?” Chris Robinson, a political commentator, wrote on X.
“He may not, the GOP does,” Chris Panza, co-author of “Ethics for Dummies,” wrote on Bluesky.
