Response to Iran strike showcases disdain for Trump
This is yet another example showcasing that no matter what President Trump accomplishes, there are deranged lunatics that will do everything they can to tear him apart.

On June 22nd, 2025, the United States military executed a flawless mission and put a halt to Iran’s development of a nuclear weapon by destroying several of their facilities. The mission was a glaring success, there was no loss of American lives and the likelihood of Iran using a nuclear weapon was eliminated.
When news about the successful strike broke, people across the world applauded President Trump and the United States military for their accomplishment. The looming threat of Israel or United States military bases in the region being hit with a nuclear weapon was a thing of the past. Unfortunately, a select group of Democrats and even a few rogue Republicans decried President Trump’s action and started talking about impeachment. They cited his lack of getting congressional approval for the attack as the reason.
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez stated on X, “The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
Yes, you read that correctly. Talk about delusional. These are the types of people who actually get elected in America.
Here are the facts about Iran. Iran is a sponsor of terrorism. They fund Hezbollah, a designated terrorist organization. Iran funds Hamas, who conducted one of the most horrific attacks on Israel, murdered approximately 1,200 people, including 36 children and captured hundreds of innocent hostages. They chant, “Death to America” and “Death to Israel”. Iran also funds the Houthis, a terrorist organization in Yemen, known for their attacks on Israel, as well as attacks on commercial shipping vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
The bottom line is that Iran supports, promotes and funds terrorism. They despise our way of life. They want to eliminate Israel. They are a threat to the world. There is no possible way that can be disputed.
Iran has been pursuing nuclear weapons for decades. The United States and Israeli intelligence indicated that Iran’s nuclear program was close enough to developing weapons grade material and that was considered a significant threat. Iran refused to give up their pursuit of nuclear weapons and action was taken. The United States stopped Iran from developing a nuclear bomb and there are people denouncing that action. It’s hard to comprehend.
What would these naysayers say if Iran lobbed a nuclear bomb into Israel and killed millions of innocent people? What if they dropped a nuclear bomb on one of the 19 military facilities we have in the Middle East that are within striking distance of Iran? Would they blame President Trump for not acting and allowing that to happen? I can guarantee you they would.
Here is another fact for all the people who are calling for Trump to be impeached. The President of the United States does not need congressional approval to respond to an imminent threat. President Trump did not declare war on Iran. He eliminated their ability to develop nuclear weapons with precision strikes. There’s a big difference between the two.
What’s also interesting is how many other former Presidents launched similar attacks, yet were never questioned. Where was the outrage and calls for impeachment when Biden launched attacks on Houthis in Yemen and Syria in 2024 without congressional approval? How about Obama launching attacks in Libya, Pakistan, Yemen and Syria without Congressional approval? You heard nothing about impeachment. Crickets.
President Trump should be applauded for his decision and the United States military should be recognized for their readiness and ability to execute a flawless mission. The United States sent a strong and very clear message to Iran and to all our adversaries and the United States prevented a nuclear war.
This is yet another example showcasing that no matter what President Trump accomplishes, there are deranged lunatics that will do everything they can to tear him apart. Fortunately, we are all used to it by now and it becomes less shocking every day. Americans with a shred of common sense, recognize that these people are unhinged and for some strange reason, have a strong hatred towards the core values that shaped our country.
