Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, April 05, 2026

On this Easter, US President Trump makes taunting threats toward Iran, a nation he attacked without explaining what changed to spur him to war or building a coalition of allies or getting Congress' vote or even Congress' input before starting a war that is escalating daily.

This open threat of war crimes is pure sociopathic bloodlust and sadism but it's also another sign that he's failing and that he's in a fury about it.[image or embed]

"Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the ------' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

And then there's the cold-case of that missing quart of strawberries still awaiting the application of Trumpian logic ...

Had to doublecheck this wasn't an Onion article. Praise be to Allah that it was not.

Also, "An Easter message from our first openly Muslim president" is just plain incorrect.

Obama was a "secret Muslim". Trump is the first one out of the closet.

Do MAGAts realize Trump could be on the verge of issuing an executive order declaring Sharia the law of the land?

As Dear Leader commands, they will obey. Just like the MAGAts learned to hate the FBI and love Russia.

If we don't use the 25th amendment now then what's the point of even having it

If bridge day and power plant day is anything like infrastructure week then Iran has nothing to be concerned about.

Iran just downed 2 US aircraft and now the President is telling them when and where we are going to attack next. I'm sure our pilots will sleep easy

The words of Pedo 47:

Mar 3: "We won the war."

Mar 7: "We defeated Iran."

Mar 9: "We must attack Iran." "The war is ending almost completely, and very beautifully."

Mar 12: "We did win, but we haven't won completely yet."

Mar 13: "We won the war."

Mar 14: "Please help us."

Mar 15: "If you don't help us, I will certainly remember it."

Mar 16: "Actually, we don't need any help at all." "I was just testing to see who's listening to me." "If NATO doesn't help, they will suffer something very bad."

Mar 17: "We neither need nor want NATO's help." "I don't need Congressional approval to withdraw from NATO."

Mar 18: "Our allies must cooperate in reopening the Strait of Hormuz."

Mar 19: "US allies need to get a grip -step up and help open the Strait of Hormuz"

Mar 20: "NATO are cowards."

Mar 21: "We don't use it, we don't need to open it."

Mar 22: "This is the last time. I will give Iran 48 hours." "Iran is Dead"

Mar 23: "We are giving them more time."

Mar 24: "The war is nearing its end."

Mar 25: "We are still negotiating."

Mar 26: "Iran is begging for peace. They gave us a gift. We will give them more time."

Mar 27: "Talks with iran are going very well"

Mar 28: "War will be over soon"

Mar 29: "Maybe we take Kharg island, maybe we dont"

Mar 30: "Open the Strait or we will obliterate all energy infrastructure and oil wells"

Mar 31: "We dont need the strait, we got plenty of oil. Get it yourself UK."

Apr 1: "War will be over in two to three weeks"

Apr 4: "Iran has 48 hours or I'll reign down hell"

Apr 5: "Praise be to Allah! Open the ------- straight!"

I thought we were at the point that other countries should

"build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT." The United States "won't be there to help you anymore," he said, adding that "Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil!"

That didn't last a day apparently.

You can't read apparently. When all your quotes come from mass media you get ---- wrong.

WATCH: Trump says other nations can 'fend for themselves' in Strait of Hormuz after U.S. leaves Iran

Gotta hand it to Trump he really gets under your skins.

I wonder if he will lose a single White Christian nationalist or evangelical over "Praise Be to Allah."

What a wonderful and uplifting Easter message from our president, eh?

Worth 5 minutes to read:

Donald Trump Isn't Sounding Like Himself
And that's terrifying

God help us ...

Not that Israel is getting good ink these days, but it was a winner when they sent a missile to get a guy in a wheelchair.

Another possibility for the dotard.

It's all for show.

He'll huff... and He'll fluff... and He'll blow... NuttywahooooooobPbPbP...

Ya see... our European friends... have other priorities... France and the UK in January of this year... formed a 35-member "Coalition of the Willing" supporting Ukraine against Russia...

They don't have time or resources to devote to the USA's war efforts... I guess Trumpanzee wasn't invited... sooooooo he had to start a war of his own... and make it about OIL...

Looky here everyone!...don't fight there!...fight here!... looky looky!... I got things ready for ya....It'll be easy!!!

Trump's brain is running on fumes.

His emotions are in charge of him now, and his emotions are sick and disordered.

I don't know what MAGA still thinks it can get out of this man.

I don't know what MAGA ever thought it could get from this man.

Every day of his miserable life is making things worse for everyone who lives in this country.
