He issued a 48-hour ultimatum Saturday. Sunday&#8217;s post is the escalation: if Iran doesn&#8217;t reopen the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday, U.S. forces will begin targeting power plants and bridges. In a separate Fox News interview Sunday morning, he said he was considering &#8220;blowing everything up and taking over the oil.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Targeting civilian power infrastructure is flagged by U.S.-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/us-experts-say-american-strikes-iran-may-amount-war-crimes-2026-04-02\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">international law experts<\/a> as a potential war crime under the Geneva Conventions.

But the war is not the reason this post broke through on Easter Sunday morning.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Part That Left Even MAGA Supporters Checking the Date<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This is the same president who spent the preceding days positioning his administration as the champion of Christian America. On Wednesday at the White House Easter lunch \u2014 a closed-door event that only became public after the White House briefly posted the video and then removed it \u2014 Trump joked that crowds were calling him a king. Paula White-Cain, who leads the White House Faith Office, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/articles\/trump-blames-bad-press-white-151502885.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">compared his political suffering to Christ&#8217;s crucifixion and resurrection<\/a>. The same week, he told a room of faith leaders that people who reject his &#8220;In God We Trust&#8221; framing of America were &#8220;crazy&#8221; and should be &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/articles\/trump-said-cast-them-aside-183538332.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cast aside<\/a>.&#8221; His White House Faith Office, his anti-Christian bias task force, his Religious Liberty Commission \u2014 all of it built around the argument that religion, and especially Christianity in America, needs an official government champion.<\/p>\n<p>Then, on Easter Sunday, he signed off a profanity-laced military threat with &#8220;Praise be to Allah.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The reaction was immediate. Marjorie Taylor Greene, once one of Trump\u2019s loudest allies, wrote on X:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted.<br \/>\nEveryone 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\u2019s madness.<br \/>\nI know all of you and him and he\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DgR74YjPQf\">pic.twitter.com\/DgR74YjPQf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/72x72\/1f1fa-1f1f8.png\" alt=\"\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em;max-height: 1em\" \/> (@FmrRepMTG) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FmrRepMTG\/status\/2040789438494585175?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">April 5, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A self-described &#8220;proud MAGA&#8221; supporter asked on X: &#8220;Is President Trump a Muslim?

That reading requires giving him credit for a specific kind of cultural calculation that is hard to square with the rest of the post&#8217;s grammar and tone.<\/p>\n<p>The more straightforward reading is that no one in the room \u2014 or in the building \u2014 stopped him. Which is its own kind of answer about how this White House operates.<\/p>\n<p>The Pope posted on Easter Sunday, too. &#8220;Let those who have weapons lay them down,&#8221; he wrote on X. &#8220;Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace.&#8221; He did not name Trump. He didn&#8217;t have to.<\/p>\n<p>What the past seven days produced, in sequence, was this: a White House Easter lunch where a president joked about being king while his adviser compared him to Christ, a deleted video, a &#8220;cast aside&#8221; line for non-believers, a downed fighter jet, rescue helicopters taking fire, a declaration that Iran was decimated, an arrest of Soleimani&#8217;s niece for pro-Iran social media posts, a new second-term approval low, and an Easter Sunday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/trump-says-us-will-target-irans-infrastructure-tuesday-2026-04-05\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Truth Social post<\/a> threatening to bomb civilian infrastructure \u2014 signed off with &#8220;Praise be to Allah.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The question is no longer whether this week was unusual.
