Trump praises Allah in bizarre Easter message

In a bizarre and violent Easter Sunday message, Donald Trump has praised Allah. While there’s nothing wrong with a man praising a god in any language, it does read a little perversely when he’s simultaneously threatening war crimes against the Muslim nation of Iran:

Trump — War crimes

While the above is shorter than a lot of Trump’s recent rants, there’s still a lot to highlight. Firstly, the opener:

Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran.

Trump is threatening to repeat the attacks on power plants and bridges which the US has already subjected Iran too. As attacking civilian infrastructure is a war crime, this means Trump is openly threatening to commit war crimes.

In future generations, people will ask why American politicians didn’t move to remove Trump when he was blatantly threatening to violate international law. Hopefully, said politicians will be answering such questions from their prison cells.

Next, Trump said:

There will be nothing like it!!!

By this, he means ‘nothing like it besides the previously committed war crimes I just admitted to‘.

He continued:

Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell

Not sure you get to call people “crazy” when you’re the one who started this futile war in the first place.

The US and Israel have repeatedly attacked Iran despite peace talks continuing. Arguably, Iran’s response has been incredibly rational.

To avoid any risk of the US provoking a conflict every twelve months, they’ve sought to demonstrate how costly hostilities will be. “Crazy” would be for them to engage with Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu as if they were honest actors.

As we’ve reported, Trump appears to be counting down towards some sort of extreme event:

Praise be

Trump ends with what’s presumably sarcasm (we can’t say definitively, because he’s clearly not with it):

Praise be to Allah.

If Trump’s hoping to come out of this looking good, he’s going to need to send praise to more than Allah. Because at this point, nothing less than a miracle is going to clean up his mess.

This is a hell of a message for the American President to put out on Easter, anyway — especially considering he’s the candidate of choice for the American evangelicals.
