US President Donald Trump hits back at critics over his policies on Iran, calling them “jealous, bad people, or stupid,” in a post on Truth Social.

“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. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
