President Donald Trump lashed out at critics of his Iran agreement early Thursday, dismissing them as “jealous, bad people, or stupid” in a Truth Social post made hours after he returned to Washington from the Group of Seven summit in France.

“These fools, who think I haven’t been tough enough on Iran, when the Stock Market Just Hit A RECORD HIGH, and Oil prices are ‘tumbling’ down, are either jealous, bad people, or stupid,” Trump wrote shortly after 4:30 a.m. ET, ending the post with “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” He posted after arriving at Joint Base Andrews around 3:30 a.m. following his trip to the summit and a reception at the Palace of Versailles.

The post came amid mounting bipartisan criticism of the 14-point memorandum of understanding that Trump signed with Iran at Versailles on Wednesday, ending nearly four months of war that began Feb. 28. Under the framework, the United States agreed to terminate sanctions, unfreeze Iranian funds and assets, lift its naval blockade and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iran reaffirmed that it “shall not procure or develop nuclear weapons,” with the disposition of its enriched uranium stockpile left to talks set to run at least 60 days. The agreement also commits the U.S. to work with regional partners on a plan to direct at least $300 billion toward Iranian reconstruction and economic development, with the funding mechanism to be determined later.

Trump has insisted the deal is superior to the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action negotiated under President Barack Obama, which he abandoned during his first term. “His deal was really dangerous, what he did, he gave them everything including a lot of money,” Trump said Wednesday, adding that frozen Iranian funds would be released “only if they’re doing things right.” The administration has framed Iran’s commitment to address its enriched stockpile as a “major win,” and the MOU, unlike the JCPOA, contains no sunset clauses.

Observers and outside analysts have reached the opposite conclusion. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the war “will be regarded as one of the biggest American disasters,” arguing that “it looks like Iran has won on just about every one” of the 14 points. Within Trump’s own party, Sen. Bill Cassidy called the conflict “the worst foreign policy blunder in decades” and warned that Iran “learned that threatening the Strait of Hormuz works.” Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said Trump had received “very poor advice,” estimating that between $10 billion and $30 billion could flow to Tehran before any nuclear concession. Morton Klein of the Zionist Organization of America called the memorandum a “disaster” that “stabs Israel in the back.” Berenberg chief economist Holger Schmieding wrote that Iran “seems to have largely prevailed on many counts.”

At his G7 news conference Wednesday, Trump defended the framework at length and warned against any third party arming Tehran. “It’s very dangerous for somebody to sell, because whoever sells them a nuclear weapon will get nuked themselves,” he said, adding that such a seller “would be nuked.” He also threatened renewed strikes if Iran fails to honor the agreement.
