NEED TO KNOW
Former Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene decried President Donald Trump’s profanity-laced Easter Sunday message, calling it “evil” and claiming the president is “not a Christian”
In a Truth Social post on Easter, Trump threatened to bomb civilian infrastructure, including power plants and bridges, and ended his message with “Praise be to Allah”
“Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness,” Greene wrote
Former staunch MAGA ally-turned-critic Marjorie Taylor Greene decried President Donald Trump’s bombardment of Iran and profanity-laced Easter Sunday message as “evil" before claiming that Trump is “not a Christian.”
Just after 8 a.m. ET on Sunday, April 5, Trump, 79, warned Iran on Truth Social to "open the f---in' Strait [of Hormuz]," the vital waterway for international oil trade, “or you’ll be living in Hell.” He threatened to bomb civilian infrastructure, including power plants and bridges, and ended his message with, “Praise be to Allah.”
“Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness,” the former Georgia congresswoman responded on X on Sunday. “Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians.”
“This NOT what we promised the American people when they overwhelmingly voted in 2024, I know, I was there more than most. This is not making America great again, this is evil,” Greene, 51, added.
Greene, who was raised Catholic and was baptized into an evangelical church in Georgia as an adult, wrote that “Jesus commanded us to love one another and forgive one another. Even our enemies.”

The president, who has forged deep ties with U.S. evangelical Christian communities and was raised in the Presbyterian church, did not attend mass on Easter Sunday. TMZ spotted him returning to the White House after spending the day at his Virginia golf club.
He did participate in official White House events related to Easter last week and again on Monday, April 6, speaking about the Iran war at great length. At the annual White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday morning, Trump told reporters that Americans who opposed the war in Iran are “foolish.”
“We are obliterating that country. And I hate to do it, but we’re obliterating. And they just don’t want to say uncle,” Trump said. “But they will. And if they don’t, they’ll have no bridges, they’ll have no power plants, they’ll have no anything. I won’t go further because there are other things that are worse than those two.”
The president went on to say that if he had a choice, he would like to “take the oil because it’s there for the taking.”
“Unfortunately, the American people would like to see us come home. If it were up to me, I’d take the oil, I’d keep the oil and would make plenty of money,” Trump said. “The Iranian people, when they don’t hear bombs go off, they’re upset. They want to hear bombs because they want to be free.”
In her post, Greene — who announced her resignation from Congress in November, citing in part her disagreements with Trump over Iran and the handling of the Justice Department files related to the deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — argued that “Trump threatening to bomb power plants and bridges hurts the Iranian people, the very people Trump claimed he was freeing” and that the U.S. was killing “innocent people and children.”

International law experts, academics, advocates and practitioners have warned that U.S. strikes on more than 12,300 sites in Iran — including the bombing of an elementary school that killed at least 168 children — and Trump’s threatened bombing of vital civilian infrastructure may amount to war crimes.
Last week, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt insisted that "of course, this administration and the United States armed forces will always act within the confines of the law."
Thousands have been killed in Iran since the war began on Feb. 28, including at least 1,600 civilians, according to the U.S.-based Iranian human rights organization HRANA. Israel’s simultaneous invasion of Lebanon has killed nearly 1,500 people, the Lebanese health ministry said on Saturday, April 5.
At least 13 U.S. service members have been killed in the war and hundreds more have been injured, the U.S. military has said. Two fighter jet crew members were rescued over the weekend after they were shot down inside Iran.

“Today is a very special day. It's a day where we celebrate Jesus, it's a day where we celebrate religion, and it's an honor to be the President of the United States,” Trump said during his prepared remarks at the Easter Egg Roll on Monday.
“Our country is doing so well like it has never done before. You'll see that very shortly, and things that we've done have not been done before. We’ve broken every record in the stock market, we've broken every record in our military.”

ICYMI, over the weekend on Easter morning, Donald Trump posted on Truth Social to announce that the coming Tuesday, April 7, would be "Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran."

"There will be nothing like it!!!" he wrote. "Open the ******' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP."

Naturally, people were, um, a little taken aback by the whole thing.

Even conservatives, including those who once vehemently supported Trump and his 2024 reelection campaign, expressed their concerns over the post.

"On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted," former Republican Lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene began on X, alongside a screenshot of Trump's Truth Social post. "Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump's madness. I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit."

"On Easter, of all days, we as Christians should be reminded that the son of God died and rose from the grave so that we can be forgiven once and for all of our sins. Jesus commanded us to love one another and forgive one another. Even our enemies. Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians," she continued.

"Christians in the administration should be pursuing peace. Urging the President to make peace. Not escalating war that is hurting people. This NOT what we promised the American people when they overwhelmingly voted in 2024, I know, I was there more than most. This is not making America great again, this is evil," she ended.

Well...then...I guess Trump wasn't right about everything after all, Marjorie?

Shortly after MTG's post, Alex Jones — yes, THAT Alex Jones (you know, the one who once said 9/11 was an inside job and famously suggested that the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting was "staged," and accused the grieving parents of acting) — posted his own response on X.

"This is not the old Trump. It's one thing if he says '****' on the campaign trail or whatever — I do that, too. But on Easter with messages about Allahu Akbar and 'give up you crazy f’ers,'" he said in a clip. "They're not going to, and they close the strait, it's killing the economy, America's sinking global rankings. ... It's just not what we voted for."

"We've never seen rhetoric like this out of presidents when we go to war, even if you're for this war. This is REALLY bad PR, folks," he continued. "This is what I'm talking about, the way Trump's behaving — way more erratic. His speech, ya know, is not coherent all the time. You can't deny this is happening."
@RealAlexJone / Via x.com
This is not the first time Jones has spoken out about concerns over Trump's fitness to be president. Speaking about Trump in an episode of his podcast, The Alex Jones Show, he said, "When your ankles swell up three times the size they were before, that means heart failure." Jones continued, "And, he does look sick. And he does babble and, you know, sound like the brain's not doin' too hot."

Anyway, at the end of his clip on X, Jones reiterated that Trump's post was "not a Christ-like Easter message." He said, "I'm just really worried about Trump. ... 'Cause whether you voted for him or didn't vote for him or love him or hate him, the world's in a major crisis."

"This is a clown show, folks, and I'm really worried," he said. "This is not what Trump ran on. This is not what we voted for, and it's really scary."

And lastly, as the cherry on top of (former) MAGA crashouts, Ann Coulter — the conservative pundit who once supported Trump but has since distanced herself — also slammed Trump for the war with Iran shortly after his "Open the ******' Strait!" post. "I really wish ‘legal experts’ hadn’t screamed bloody murder about every little thing Trump did, so they could speak with authority now that he’s actually committing war crimes,” she wrote on X.
