Donald Trump is torn. On one side, there is a weak president who seems to have no idea what he is doing with the war in Iran. Trump is also trying to play the 1980s action movie hero and be a tough guy while threatening the people he started the war with.
The President of the United States usually sends an Easter message to the country and it is a rather low-key holiday.

Trump spends Easter Sunday making threats that amount to both impeachment and war crimes if carried out.
Trump posted on his social media platform:
Tuesday will be the day of power plants and the day of bridges, all rolled into one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the fucking Straits, you crazy bastards, or you will live in hell – JUST LOOK! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP
I thought Monday was the deadline for Iran to surrender, but now it’s Tuesday.
Jake Tapper read Trump’s threat on CNN:
Tapper had to provide viewers with a linguistic warning, in case children were in the room:
He just threatened Iran in extraordinarily explicit terms, giving the Iranian regime just over a day to either make a deal, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, or face hell if your children watch you. Be careful, the president did not use polite language.
It’s Easter Sunday and the United States has a president you can’t mention in front of children.
Let’s talk about the issue of war crimes.
