Trump struggles to get into holiday spirit with disturbing Easter message: ‘World War III’

================================================================================
Donald Trump appeared to be struggling to get into the holiday spirit as he used his Easter message to fume about President Joe Biden, the Afghanistan withdrawal – and declare “WORLD WAR III”.
The former president made a series of all-caps rants on his Truth Social platform on Easter Sunday, just days after he made history as the first current or former US president to ever be charged with a crime.
It began on Sunday morning with a “HAPPY EASTER” wish to “TO ALL OF THOSE WEAK & PATHETIC RINOS, RADICAL LEFT DEMOCRATS, SOCIALISTS, MARXISTS, & COMMUNISTS WHO ARE KILLING OUR NATION”.
The tirade continued throughout the day with posts slamming the Biden administration as “the worst in history” in response to reports that the White House was blaming the Trump administration for issues the US faced during the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan.
“Can you believe that the totally corrupt Biden Disinformation Administration is now trying to blame ‘TRUMP’ for their incompetent exit from Afghanistan,” he raged.
“They are the worst in history, absolutely terrible people always blaming someone else for their mistakes and blunders - of which there are many!”
But, in perhaps the most disturbing post, Mr Trump appeared to suggest violence with the three-word post: “WORLD WAR lll.”
Mr Trump then doubled down on his comment on Monday morning, writing: “The way the U.S. is going, we will soon be in World War lll, with NO AMMUNITION!”
He also called for the need to “get rid of Biden”.
His mention of a new world war sparked an uproar on social media over the weekend.
Former congressman Adam Kinzinger branded Mr Trump a “clown” and “unhinged” over his Easter message.
“Nice Easter post, clown. He will never be president again. He is completely utterly unhinged Donald Trump will go down in history as an aboration… a shame… an embarrassment. But we will come back from him and put that past away. Happy Easter!” he wrote.
“Trump doesn’t have a clue what Easter is about. That Orange Idiot wouldn’t know a resurrection from an insurrection,” another person tweeted.
Others pointed out the stark contrast between his message calling for war and Mr Biden’s message where he wished Americans a “joyous and peaceful Easter”.
The former president’s Truth Social tirade came the same day that Melania Trump also broke her silence on social media for the first time since her husband’s arrest on criminal charges.
The former first lady posted a simple “happy Easter” message on social media and then joined her husband in the Mar-a-Lago ballroom for an Easter brunch on Sunday.
This marked her first public appearance since the day he was indicted on criminal charges – as she chose to skip his post-arraignment speech at Mar-a-Lago last Tuesday in an absence that didn’t go unnoticed.
Off topic comments will be deleted by the seeder/moderator. All decisions final.
Maybe Kinzinger should run for president and bring some class back to the Republican Party.
From time to time on this forum we see someone say that history will regard Trump as a great president.
Articles like this (based on Trumps own rantings) show us why that will never happen.
Hard to read in that his base may have gotten ramped up by this rant while moderate republicans may be turned off (further?).
I feel really sorry for Barron. He should change his name as soon as it's legal for him to do so, if he hasn't already been totally infected by his father.
Donald Trump is mentally ill, and millions of Americans are in denial about it.
Barron has never uttered a sound in public. Barron, as does his mother, possess dual Slovenian and US citizenship. Barron was also raised by his mother to have his first language to be Slovenian. Melania is worth over $60 million in her own right. I wonder if any of this means anything for their future?
I assume that means there is no financial concern if they should wish to separate from him. Barron is probably still too young to seek independence from his father.
At 17 years, yes.
Barron too young? Assuredly not. Because of his father's judicial appointments a 12 year old can be forced to become a mother. Thusly, a 17 year old I assume can also be forced to become an adult if he or she so desires.
Please explain your logic for this assumption.
You would not understand.
DJT is the epitome of resentment. He also seems to harbor great guilt. It also seems as if his greatest and perhaps only strength is fear.
I always wonder what DJT demeanor is in the many moments we are never permitted to see. To be a fly on the wall could be very revealing.
No, he really doesn't. Easter signifies a renewal and peace. I'm certain Jesus didn't return from the dead to advocate a war that would destroy the entire planet
