'Falsehood After Falsehood': Adam Schiff Shreds Trump Over Iran War Contradictions

Source: MEDIAite

Jun 11th, 2026, 9:39 pm


Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) called out President Donald Trump on Thursday for “telling falsehood after falsehood” about the war with Iran, claiming that Americans no longer “know when to believe him.”

Trump’s claims about the Iran war took a few sharp turns on Thursday after the U.S. conducted strikes against the country on Wednesday for the second day in a row in retaliation for the downing of an Apache helicopter by an Iranian drone. The president began the day by claiming that the U.S. would strike “VERY HARD TONIGHT” and threatening to invade Iran’s Kharg Island. Hours later, he announced he had canceled strikes against Iran, going on to tell reporters that “We just made great settlement of the war with Iran.” An Iranian spokesperson disputed the president’s claim, telling Reuters that no such agreement exists.

Schiff discussed the president’s conflicting moves on Thursday’s edition of The Source with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, who asked the senator whether he believed Trump’s threats about Iran.

“It lacks a lot of credibility,” Schiff responded.

Call him a psychopath. Because that's what he is. Call him a failure. Especially at gaslighting.

Whatever you call him, he will not care, and it certainly won't change his behavior.

So, do the name calling, then please get to work on behalf of the American people. We already know what he is and it's past time for progressive action.

2. Complete absence of conscience and empathy

4. Willingness to engage in immoral, criminal conduct
5. Willingness to take what they want and do as they please, regardless of who is hurt or wronged
6. Deceptive ability to appear outwardly benevolent
7. Deceptive ability to behave in superficially charming ways to hide purely selfish motives
8. Willingness to use intimidation and violence to control others in order to satisfy their own needs
9. Willingness to intentionally violate the basic inherent human rights of others
10. Complete absence of any sense of guilt or remorse for the harm their actions have caused to others
11. Rationalization of their own immoral behavior
12. Will attempt to lay blame upon someone else for their own conduct
13. Denial, will deny their own wrongdoing outright
14. Utter contemptuousness toward the feelings and desires of their fellow beings

He lied to everyone about everything. It worked for him then, so I guess he thinks it will work for him now on a much bigger stage. The problem is the whole world is paying attention.
