Trump Branded ‘Crazy’ over Apocalyptic Iran Threats

Former allies and critics say Trump’s escalating rhetoric shows 25th Amendment concerns as he pressures Iran over the Strait of Hormuz deadline.

  • On Easter Sunday, President Donald Trump issued an ultimatum to Iran via Truth Social, threatening the Strait of Hormuz with a Tuesday deadline for reopening the crucial shipping lane.
  • The Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping lane carrying nearly one-fifth of global oil, has become a significant flashpoint in the Middle East crisis as tensions escalate between Iran and the United States.
  • Right-Wing host Tucker Carlson called Trump's comments the "first step toward nuclear war," while the White House dismissed health concerns, maintaining the 79-year-old President was "working nonstop" over Easter.
  • Former loyalist Marjorie Taylor Greene and Democrats are calling on the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, citing the President's recent erratic social media behavior as evidence of incapacity to govern.
  • Peter Loge, director of George Washington University's School of Media, told AFP this is a "broader pattern of Trump bluster," predicting Trump may declare victory and extend the deadline rather than follow through.
