Trump further took issue with Democrats, calling them "Weak and Pathetic Democrats, TRAITORS ALL," who had long warned about the dangers from Iran but now criticized his efforts.

"They for years have been talking about the Dangers of Iran, and that something has to be done, but now, since I'm the one doing it, they belittle the accomplishments of our Military and the Trump Administration," he said."
