There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin\u2019 Strait, you crazy bastards, or you\u2019ll be living in Hell \u2013 JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Evangelical Christian leaders had spent Holy Week lauding Trump as God\u2019s chosen man to lead the United States and the world and some \u2014 like White House Faith Adviser Paula White \u2014 went so far to compare Trump to Jesus in suffering and arrest and persecution and resurrection.<\/p>\n<p>Evangelist Franklin Graham and others went out of their way to share Easter-themed comments published with Trump\u2019s name \u2014 all further evidence, they said, the president is a true man of God.<\/p>\n<p>Then Trump unloaded on the morning of Christianity\u2019s highest holy day with a rant that left even some of supporters stunned.<\/p>\n<p>Those bold enough to criticize the president publicly were not only Democrats but also Republicans who have parted ways with Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Former GOP Congressman <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/WalshFreedom\/status\/2040777195300225366\" rel=\"nofollow\">Joe Walsh<\/a> said: \u201cHis Easter morning post. And just 2 days ago, one of his \u2018religious advisors\u2019 compared him to Jesus Christ.\u00a0He will forever be a stain on this country. And the world. 25th Amendment. Now. And to everyone else who, unlike Trump, understands &amp; celebrates today \u2014 Happy Easter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Former U.S. Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/FmrRepMTG\/status\/2040789438494585175\" rel=\"nofollow\">Marjorie Taylor Greene<\/a>, a former Trup ally turned critic, wrote on X that everyone in the Trump administration who claims to be a Christian needs to \u201cbeg forgiveness from God\u201d and intervene in the president\u2019s \u201cmadness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/baptistnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IAresponse.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-187204\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IAresponse-300x196.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"355\" height=\"232\"  \/><\/a>\u201cI know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit. I\u2019m not defending Iran but let\u2019s be honest about all of this. The Strait is closed because the U.S. and Israel started the unprovoked war against Iran based on the same nuclear lies they\u2019ve been telling for decades, that any moment Iran would develop a nuclear weapon. You know who has nuclear weapons? Israel. They are more than capable of defending themselves without the U.S. having to fight their wars, kill innocent people and children, and pay for it. Trump threatening to bomb power plants and bridges hurts the Iranian people, the very people Trump claimed he was freeing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s closest allies in politics and religion said nothing about his Easter morning post.<\/p>\n<p>Others, however, were quick to point out the insult to Christianity from the president so loved by evangelicals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrump\u2019s profane and violent rant on Christianity\u2019s holiest day while insulting Muslims around the world shows this administration\u2019s utter disdain for religion. We condemn it while wishing all who celebrate Easter a joyful holiday,\u201d said Paul Raushenbush of Interfaith Alliance.<\/p>\n<p>Historian Heather Cox Richardson, who write a popular daily digest of current events, wrote one of the harshest assessment of all time for her: \u201cHow much more of this madness are we willing to tolerate before insisting Congress initiate the steps necessary to remove him from office? Anyone can see he is unfit for the presidency as he leads us into ever more dangerous territory. Any other president would already be impeached and removed by the 25th amendment for illegal actions and irrational inappropriate statements. This is how corrupt and broken our three branches of government are! This is utterly nuts!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Agnes Callamard, who leads Amnesty International, wrote: \u201cRunning out of language to denounce and condemn. Iranian Civilians will be the first to suffer from the destruction of power plants and bridges. No heat, no electricity, no water, no capacity to move or to flee, and all that it means for their right to life. A revolting statement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In contrast to Trump, two of the world\u2019s most recognizable Christian leaders used Easter messages to call for an end to the war in Iran.<\/p>\n<p>In his first Easter Mass at the Vatican, Pope Leo urged: \u201cLet those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And in her first Easter as archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally used her Easter sermon to call for an end to \u201cviolence and destruction\u201d in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Related articles:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/baptistnews.com\/article\/at-white-house-trump-lauded-as-suffering-king-like-jesus\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">At White House, Trump lauded as suffering king like Jesus<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/baptistnews.com\/article\/trump-blasts-enemies-in-easter-morning-message-before-hitting-golf-course\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump blasts enemies in Easter morning message before hitting golf course<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/baptistnews.com\/article\/trump-the-blasphemer-during-holy-week-trump-compares-himself-to-jesus-and-hawks-a-white-christian-nationalist-bible\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump the blasphemer: During Holy Week, Trump compares himself to Jesus and hawks a white Christian nationalist Bible<\/a> | Opinion by Robert P.
