This morning, President Trump had this to say about Iran

and the AP fact checked his statement.

President Trump wrongly dismissed the continuing threat of the Islamic State group and repeated a false tale of the U.S. paying out billions of dollars to Iran as part of the deal freezing its nuclear program. #APFactCheck https://t.co/sS3tqOdwDH

Reactions include:

Sen. Tammy Duckworth: “All these dictators have realized the same thing: the President of the United States is as easy to control as a toddler … I wish this weren’t true, but my diaper-wearing 20-month-old has better impulse control than this president.”https://t.co/Ha0auyo9DI

Its extremely difficult now to escape the conclusion that @realDonaldTrump started a war because he was impeached.

“There is no strategy, there is no strategy, there is no strategy! Trump does not do strategy. He could not find Iran on a map if his life depended on it, he has not read the Iran nuclear deal… he probably still doesn’t know what Hizbollah is” – me trying to be blunt on @msnbc: pic.twitter.com/cfbOAcxdYz

All Americans should support President Trumps efforts to resolve the threat from Iran peacefully and fully understand the Maximum Pressure campaign must continue with a credible military component.

GOP Sen. Mike Lee goes off on the Trump briefing: “They had to leave after 75 minutes, while theyre in the process of telling us that we need to be good little boys and girls and run along and not debate this in public. I find that absolutely insane. I think its unacceptable.” pic.twitter.com/rs6LOimfAm
