Donald Trump’s Easter Sunday Truth Social post, in which he threatened that “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran,” left a lot of people shaking their heads, even before the president made a rare usage of the F-word, before he closed the message with “Praise be to Allah.”
