Donald Trump said Monday that Democrats are a 'disgrace' to the U.S., insisting those within the party are defending slain Iranian General Qassem Soleimani.

'When the Democrats try and defend him – it's a disgrace to our country, they can't do that. And let me tell you, it's not working politically very well for them,' Trump told reporters before departing the White House for New Orleans where he will attend the college football national championship game.

Democrats have lamented the president didn’t inform Congress before launching the attack and have raised questions over the intelligence that led the president to order the drone strike.

'The Democrats and the Fake News are trying to make terrorist Soleimani into a wonderful guy, only because I did what should have been done for 20 years,' Trump posted to Twitter Monday. 'Anything I do, whether it's the economy, military, or anything else, will be scorned by the Rafical Left, Do Nothing Democrats!' he said, misspelling 'radical.'

Earlier in the day Monday, Trump also launched an extraordinary attack directed at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer by retweeting an image depicting the two in Muslim head garb.

Its called sarcasm, if you cant tell

[Ben Mugged]

All’s fair in war and politics. The left calls President Trump much worse things and creative lies.

I love it. It’s political satire. They are in fact allies of Islamic fundamentalism especially if that fundamentalism assassinates him. I’m now quite certain Pelosi wants to ride succession to the presidency. She is so low she has to look up to kiss the belly of a snake. Schumer is easily the snake in this parable.

Can you imagine “read my lips”GHWB doing this? No way. Being Presidential means raising taxes and lying about it.
