Donald Trump on Easter Sunday, on his personal “Truth” Social platform:

Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP

When I first saw a reference to this, I assumed it was a parody of his previous day’s “Glory be to God!” But no, this is a real post from the sitting president of the United States, using expletives and calling for war crimes. Even Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling it “insane” and “evil.”

(Can you imagine the outrage if Barack Obama had posted “Open the Fuckin’ Strait” or “Praise be to Allah” on social media? He would have been pilloried and articles of impeachment would have been drawn up in record time—and Trump himself would have been leading the charge.)

The mainstream media continues to sanewash Trump, reporting his post as if it were merely a provocative proclamation, while refusing to use his actual language. AP News, for example, writes “Trump issues fiery new threat against Iran as details of US aviator’s rescue emerge” and that he “made expletive-laden new threats to escalate strikes on Iran and its infrastructure.”

The New York Times used similar language: “Trump Escalates Rhetoric Over Iranian Power Plants” and “used an expletive-laden social media post to taunt Iranian leaders.” Taunt. As if this was a pickup basketball game.

Trump is deeply unhinged and becoming more and more desperate as his control over the war and the narrative crumbles. As he’s incapable of backing down or admitting error, he will instead continue his escalations. We are well beyond “25th Amendment” territory. He needs to be impeached and removed, for the sake of the country and the world.
