WASHINGTON DC – Hell hath no fury like a Republican scorned, and this weekend, even before the ink is dry on Donald Trump’s partial peace deal with Iran, the anger and visceral was already piling up.
Many of Trump’s backers fear the US President is surrendering to Tehran’s interests.
Trump was already on the receiving end of Republican lawmakers’ fury over last week’s hastily proposed “weaponisation” fund that could see taxpayer money paid to convicted-then-pardoned rioters who ransacked the Capitol on 6 January 2021. His announcement that peace could soon be at hand with Iran sent many of them into overdrive.

“I am deeply concerned about what we are hearing about an Iran ‘deal’”, wrote Senator Ted Cruz of Texas. He urged Trump to “hold the line”.
