At 8:03 a.m. on Easter Sunday — Christianity's holiest day — Trump posted on Truth Social: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. Open the F---n' Strait, you crazy b-----ds, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
The president who has positioned himself as a Christian nationalist champion — who carries evangelical support as his political bedrock — threatened to bomb civilian infrastructure in a profanity-laced rant, signed it with an Islamic invocation, and skipped church entirely. St. John's Episcopal Church held services at 8, 9, and 11 a.m., steps from the White House. Trump went golfing instead.
Even Marjorie Taylor Greene — who had already broken with Trump over the Iran war — said he “has gone insane” and that “everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God.”
The post threatened to destroy Iran's power plants and bridges — civilian infrastructure attacks that international law experts have repeatedly called potential war crimes. It contained a 48-hour ultimatum he had already partially backed down from the previous week. And it was posted on Easter morning.
