CNN puts Trump on blast with slew of withering reviews on 'tremendous blunder'

President Donald Trump is only seeing the backlash mount from his own party against the Iran agreement he signed to end the war largely on Iran's terms, CNN's John Berman reported on Thursday morning.Trump, said Berman, is facing a lot of anger from conservatives — and the long list of social media posts put up on the display behind him, he added, is just a smattering of what they are saying about him.Among the posts quoted by Berman are conservative commentator Pradheep Shanker, who said Trump caved and surrendered; national security commentator David Reaboi, who said It's even worse than the Obama deal back then; conservative columnist Marc Thiessen, who said it's like offering the Marshall Plan to rebuild Germany while the Nazis were still in power; and right-wing analyst Batya Ungar-Sargon, who said, The greatest superpower to ever exist, brought to its knees by a few minds.Meanwhile, said Berman, Republican lawmakers are striking a similar tone — and he played several clips.This will go down as a tremendous foreign policy blunder. Iran ends up stronger, said Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA).Now, I don't want to see theocratic Islamists who want to kill us made stronger, said Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). So if this deal is giving them 300 billion, that's a mistake.They're better off than they were before the hostilities began, said former Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC). And that should not be the consequence of war.Trump, noted Berman, is already feeling the heat — and lashed out at the critics overnight on Truth Social, calling them fools who are jealous of his success. - YouTube www.youtube.com
