Trump's Easter Rescue Hype, Iran Threats: A Cause for Concern?

0:00On April 7, President Trump held a press conference right after the White House easter egg roll, hyping up the rescue of a U.S. airman who's jet-gotten. Shot down in Iran last Friday, he called the operation pure genius, praising the team like it was a blockbuster movie, with his CIA director and defense secretary Pete Hegg Seth Wright, there beside him. Earlier this week, Trump ramped up threats against Iran, warning he could wipe out the whole country in one night by hitting bridges and power plants. He brushed off concerns about civilian casualties or violating international law, claiming Iranians would welcome it to topple their regime. Report his pushback hard, one from the New York Times asking if it amounted to war crimes, but Trump just deflected, calling the paper failing, and insisting he hoped it wouldn't come to that. Hegg Seth even framed the rescue like a biblical resurrection, tying it to good Friday and Easter Sunday. Critics, especially Democrats, are sounding alarms over Trump's mental state, with some calling for the 25th Amendment after his wild social.
