Donald Trump defended his use of profanity in a recent social media post concerning Iran. The president addressed a reporter’s question about his shocking, expletive-filled Easter morning Truth Social message during an Easter celebration at the White House. Per People Magazine, he told the reporter, “Only to make my point,” adding that such language wasn’t new for him.
As the conflict with Iran, initiated by the United States and Israel enters its third month, Trump’s social media activity has been a flurry of aggressive statements, threats, claims of military action against Iran, all while throwing a tantrum over the crucial Strait of Hormuz. His Easter morning post garnered significant attention, even earning rebukes from expected figures like Marjorie Taylor Green and unexpected people like Piers Morgan.
