Donald Trump skips three Easter events as health fears explode after Iran rant | World | News

US President Donald Trump chose to skip three Easter Sunday services today, instead taking a tour of Washington DC – sparking further speculation over his health.

The 79-year-old, who posted a bizarre ‘praise to Allah’ rant on one of the most important days of the year in the Christian calendar, instead took a ‘ceremoniously slow’ tour around Memorial Circle.

During the ride, he also stopped at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia.

In the nearby St. John’s Episcopal Church, in Lafayette Square, dubbed the “Church of the Presidents,” where Trump has frequently attended, Easter services were held at 8, 9, and 11am.

Instead, it appears Trump decided to spend his morning on the phone with Fox News reporter Trey Yingst.

During an appearance on Fox & Friends, the foreign correspondent said he phoned the 79-year-old president on Sunday morning for a 15-minute call about his war on Iran.

“The president tells me, ‘if they don’t make a deal, and fast, I’m considering blowing everything up and taking over the oil,’” Yingst said from Tel Aviv, Israel.

“The President went on to say, ‘you’re going to see bridges and power plants dropping all over their country.’”

The president also spent the morning sending a barrage of menacing threats toward Iran.

He wrote on Truth Social: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” Trump, 79, began. “Open the F***ing’ Strait, you crazy b*****ds, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH!” he raged. “Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

His post has sparked severe backlash, with many questioning the President’s mental state.

Outspoken broadcaster Piers Morgan responded: “This is embarrassing. Delete it, President ⁩ – unless you want everyone to think you’ve lost your marbles.”

Former Republican congresswoman and Trump supporter Marjorie Taylor Greene urged members of the Trump administration to “intervene in Trump’s madness” and stated that his actions were “not making America great again, this is evil”.

Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer said Trump’s rant resembled that of “an unhinged madman”. He wrote on X: “Happy Easter, America. As you head off to church and celebrate with friends and family, the President of the United States is ranting like an unhinged madman on social media.

“He’s threatening possible war crimes and alienating allies. This is who he is, but this is not who we are. Our country deserves so much better.”

Bernie Sanders, an independent US senator, called it “dangerous and mentally unbalanced”. He said on X: “One month after starting the war in Iran, this is the statement of the President of the United States on Easter Sunday. These are the ravings of a dangerous and mentally unbalanced individual. Congress has got to act NOW. End this war.”

Senator Chris Murphy also called it completely unhinged. He wrote on X: “If I were in Trump’s Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He’s already killed thousands. He’s going to kill thousands more.”
