U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed that Iran “got away with ‘murder’ for 47 years” before his administration, arguing that the country was militarily weakened and criticising both Democratic leaders and past U.S. foreign policy.


In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump also attacked Democrats, former President Barack Obama, and former President Joe Biden, while asserting that Iran’s regional position had been dramatically reduced, Caliber.Az reports. 


“Radical Left fools and Dumocrats realize how well we have done in our War against Iran, with their Country being completely defeated militarily. Obuma just kept giving them $Billions in cash, and never used our then depleted military for what should have been done to reign in the World’s number one sponsor of terror, Iran. They had ZERO respect for him. They thought he was, like Sleepy Joe Biden, a weak and ineffective leader, and on this they were 100% correct. Iran got away with ”murder” for 47 years, until I came along. Then it all changed. AMERICA IS BACK!!!,” he wrote.


In the different post, Trump criticised media and political opponents who suggested Iran may be in a stronger position than before.


“Funny how the Dumocrats like to say that Iran is in a stronger position today than they were three months ago, despite the fact that they have been defeated militarily, with no Navy or Air Force. That’s why I call them the Dumocrats!!!,” he added.
