"When a leader uses a day of faith to threaten the destruction of power plants and bridges, it is not merely political rhetoric; it is the signaling of a nihilistic regime that views international law as a suggestion and human life as a bargaining chip."

For Danielle Moodie's discussion of these themes with Wajahat Ali, see the link below.

"I hate to say it, even me looks at this and thinks, is this the most deranged thing a sitting president has ever said, especially on Easter Sunday? I'm trying to think of the reaction from the right and from Fox if Barack Obama had said praise be to Allah on Easter Sunday. By the way,"

"I should point out Zohran Mamdani, the Muslim mayor of New York, was posting a beautiful post about Jesus and Easter. Donald Trump skipped church to play golf and to post mad shit, to post a pledge to war crimes."

"I don't know where to start with this post from because you start with the deranged nature of a post who says drops an F-bomb on Easter Sunday. says open the fucking straits, the strait that he said last week, he doesn't care whether it's open or not, it's up to Europe to deal with it, but now he says fucking open it."

"Is it the praise to Allah on Easter Sunday from the hero of evangelical Christians, the Republican president, or is it, separate to all the deranged nature of the wording, the rhetoric, the post, the swearing, the Allah, is it just the pledge to do war crimes? As the New York Times of all papers, a paper that often sanewashes Trump, as even the Times pointed out, this is a man who's reveling in a threat of war crimes."

"Trump gave another unhinged maniacal press conference today with Pete Hegseth about the status of his War in Iran:

'The entire country could be taken out in one night. We’re giving them till tomorrow, 8 ET. And after that they’re going to have no bridges. They’re going to have no power plants. Stone ages.'”

"Q - 'Do you believe God supports the US’s actions? Trump: I do because God is good.'

Q - 'Are there certain kinds of civilian targets that are off table? Schools, hospitals? Trump: I don’t want to tell you that.' ...

Pete Hegseth then talked about his Holy War, praising God and Trump the New Messiah."

"Many are now openly questioning Donald Trump’s mental acuity following today’s press conference that struck critics as erratic and deeply unsettling. His shifting answers, contradictions, and at times incoherent responses have fueled concerns about his judgment at a critical moment. The performance did little to inspire confidence in his leadership."

"You have to wonder if anyone is telling the president the truth. Because his version of what will happen if the war continues much longer differs wildly from that of experts in the region. If we think gas prices are high now, just wait.

It boils down to this: Donald Trump is trapped."

"The president’s Easter Sunday social media rant was, even by Trump standards, revolting. He checked multiple unseemly boxes. Threatening, check. Criminal, check. Immoral, check, Profanity-laden, check. Racist, check. As much as I don’t want to repeat what he wrote, it is vital to see it, and continue to see it, as we try to deal with this man’s increasingly unhinged state of mind."

"Glorying repulsively in his capacity to order death and destruction from the Pentagon, Mr Hegseth, an Evangelical Christian, has presented Operation Epic Fury as a 21st-century crusade'“to break the teeth of the ungodly”. On social media at the weekend, Mr Trump topped that by unleashing a stream of expletive-ridden abuse…."
