Senate Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the president was "screaming like a madman." Senator Chris Murphy called Trump's statements absurd, and Bernie Sanders wrote that it was "the delirium of a dangerous and mentally unbalanced person."
Criticism also came from Republicans
Republican Congressman Don Bacon said Americans don't want to see their president "obscene." According to him, self-control is part of leadership.
Former Trump ally Marjorie Taylor Greene also sharply criticized the president, writing on the X social network that he had "gone crazy."
Trump's statements came against the backdrop of further escalation around Iran, which only increased political tensions within the US. Some critics are already directly calling for congressional action, believing that the president's rhetoric only deepens the crisis.
