In a major reversal, President Donald Trump appeared to abandon his pursuit of a diplomatic end to his war against Iran Thursday in a rant about Democrats’ “blood.”
He also handed Vice President JD Vance a new assignment.
As recently as Monday, Trump touted “positive momentum” toward a deal to end the war, which has been deeply unpopular with Americans since it began. In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, however, Trump declared “we don’t need a deal with Iran” anymore.
“Those days have long since passed,” Trump wrote. “We’ve got their money, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we’ve got their Strait!”
Trump also revealed that he had instructed Vance to “focus” his “complete and total attention on the Massive Corruption and Crime taking place in Democrat run Cities and States,” claiming, without providing evidence, that “Billions of Dollars is being stolen each and every month.”
“Our Budget could be quickly BALANCED with the correction of this large scale criminal activity,” Trump wrote, again without providing evidence. “CORRUPTION is in the Democrat Leadership’s blood!”
Trump has spent much of his second term accusing Democratic-led states of fraud, using a real fraud scandal in Minnesota to go after others. His administration tried to freeze $10 billion in child care and social services funding for California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and New York before dropping the effort.
