Trump's Easter Rant: Iran War Demand

About this episode

Former President Donald Trumps fiery Easter Sunday demand for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz has sparked a wave of criticism, with politicians from both sides of the aisle condemning his actions as reckless and potentially dangerous. The strait has been closed since the US and Israel launched war with Iran in late February, and Irans officials have insisted on payment for the damage before any reopening. The conflict has already resulted in over three thousand five hundred deaths and a US strike that destroyed Irans largest bridge, killing eight and injuring ninety-five. As the situation escalates, politicians and analysts alike are questioning whether cooler heads will prevail before things spiral further out of control.

0:00On April 6, Donald Trump dropped a wild Easter Sunday post on true social, loaded with curses, straight up demanding Iran, re-opened the straight-of, Hormuz right now. The strait has stayed shut since the U.S. and Israel kicked off war with Iran back in late February, and Iran's officials say no deal until they get paid for the damage. Politicians across the aisle lit into Trump hard, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called it the rant of an unhinged madman risking war crimes and, pushing allies away, while independent Senator Bernie Sanders labeled him a dangerous, unbalanced figure who needs Congress to shut this war down. Fast. The conflict has already claimed over 3,500 lives, region-wide, including a U.S. strike last Thursday that took out Iran's biggest, bridge, killing eight and injuring 95. Democrat Jake Aachenklaus went on Fox News Sunday, saying the whole thing's a strategic flop, leaving everyone wondering if cooler heads will prevail, before things spiral further.
