Donald Trump Crushed by Own Words on Iran Deal as Fox News Calls It a 'Disgrace'

Jun 18 2026

Donald Trump faced a brutal moment on Fox News when confronted with his own words about Iran, leaving him visibly shaken.

During a press conference in France, a Fox News correspondent caught Trump off guard with a quote from January 2020, where he claimed Iran "never won a war but never lost a negotiation." The exchange unfolded as Trump finalized an Iran deal at a dinner in Versailles.

Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy initiated the confrontation, stating, "A wise man once said in January of 2020, Iran never won a war but never lost a negotiation." Trump, seemingly unaware, asked, "Who said that?" Doocy replied, "Donald Trump," prompting Trump's defensive retort, "That's what I thought you would say."

Doocy pressed further, questioning how Trump would convince Americans skeptical of the agreement that it was a victory. Trump deflected, claiming critics would always find fault regardless of the outcome. He stated, "OK, it's very tough because. I know that no matter what..."

Trump rambled on about hypothetical scenarios where critics would still attack him, saying, "No matter what if they raise the white flag of surrender..." He concluded with a bizarre assertion that media outlets like The New York Times and CNN would declare Iran victorious.

The segment quickly spread across social media, where viewers mocked Trump for not recognizing his own quote and criticized his incoherent response.

One user on X blasted, "What a f--king disgrace. He has no idea what he's doing. He sounds like he's on his last legs." Another chimed in with a jab at Doocy, suggesting he might be insulted by Trump again.

Comments flooded in, with one user stating, "The internet never forgets. Especially when your own words become the counterargument." Another added, "With every explanation, Trump only becomes more shameless."

A fifth critic slammed Trump directly: "You lost the negotiations. You lost the war. And in the end, you abandoned the people of Iran for nothing. You promised strength but delivered empty words. In my view, you lied to the people who believed you. Shame on you."

This confrontation coincided with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's post on X about U.S. and Iranian leaders signing a memorandum of agreement, which was later deleted and republished without details about an upcoming ceremony in Switzerland.

Trump confirmed he signed the document at the Palace of Versailles, declaring, "It's signed," as he left the venue.
