Candace Owens, MTG Slam Trump’s Easter Threat To Iran

One year into his second presidency, Candace Owens and Marjorie Taylor Greene went from ‘Make America Great Again’ warriors to major critics of Donald Trump. On Easter Sunday, the president shook his supporters when he threatened Iran in a Truth Social post. That led to strong criticism from Owens, Greene, other Republicans and Americans at large. Meanwhile, Iran has rejected a ceasefire

Trump Drops F-Word In Iran Threat

Early on Easter (Resurrection Day), President Trump was on Truth Social making demands to Iran. He gave the country a deadline of Tuesday, seemingly meaning April 7, to comply or face consequences. That post went live at 8:03 a.m. on Sunday morning, Eastern time, and has since racked up nearly 84,000 likes. And yes, the part about dropping an F-bomb with his message? The president did.

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

Marjorie Taylor Greene Says “Our President Is Not A Christian”

On Sunday, Marjorie penned a long reply on X to a screenshot of Trump’s threat to Iran. She repeatedly denounced his actions as anti-Christian and said he’s not Mak[ing] America Great Again. Also, she blamed the U.S. for the ongoing war, and accused our ally Israel of being the country with nuclear weapons. Over 9.1 million people have seen Greene’s post.

“On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted. Everyone 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’s madness. I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit. I’m not defending Iran but let’s be honest about all of this. The Strait is closed because the US and Israel started the unprovoked war against Iran based on the same nuclear lies they’ve 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 US 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. On Easter, of all days, we as Christians should be reminded that the son of God died and rose from the grave so that we can be forgiven once and for all of our sins. Jesus commanded us to love one another and forgive one another. Even our enemies. Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians. Christians in the administration should be pursuing peace. Urging the President to make peace. Not escalating war that is hurting people. This NOT what we promised the American people when they overwhelmingly voted in 2024, I know, I was there more than most. This is not making America great again, this is evil.”

Greene and President Donald Trump fell out near the end of 2025 when he publicly severed ties. The president even nicknamed his former supporter, “Marjorie Traitor Greene.” At the time, she was heavily backing the public’s demands for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Candace Owens Calls Trump Administration Satanic

Candace Owens was one of over 33,000 retweets of Marjorie’s message about Trump and Iran. In a separate tweet, she critiqued the Trump administration and called Donald the “Mad King.” Furthormer, she asserted the president is not well, health-wise.

“This is a satanic administration. We all realize that satanic Zionists occupy the White House and Congress needs to move to have the Mad King Trump removed. All of our lives may depend upon other countries realizing that Trump is deeply unwell and surrounded by religious fanatics who have convinced him that he is a messiah. We are in uncharted territory. Leaders worldwide need to act accordingly.”

Iran Rejects Ceasefire Proposal As Trump Doubles Down On Deadline

On Monday, Iran rejected a 45-day ceasefire proposal and said it wants a permanent end to the war. The city of Tehran shared its 10-point response through Pakistan, a key mediator. Their proposal included reconstruction and the lifting of sanctions, according to Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency.

“We only accept an end of the war with guarantees that we won’t be attacked again,” Mojtaba Ferdousi Pour, head of Iran’s diplomatic mission in Cairo, told The Associated Press. He said Iran no longer trusts the Trump administration after the U.S. bombed the Islamic Republic twice during previous rounds of talks.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump appeared to widen his threat from civilian targets to the whole Islamic Republic.

“The entire country can be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night,” Trump told a news conference at the White House. His Tuesday deadline is set to expire at 8 p.m. The U.S. stepped up threats against Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz or face a barrage of attacks on civilian targets.

“Today will be the largest volume of strikes since day one,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said. “Tomorrow, even more than today.”

Additionally, Israel piled on pressure by attacking a major gas field that is Iran’s biggest source of domestic energy. As of Monday, Iranian and Omani officials were working on a mechanism for administrating the strait. A fifth of the world’s oil is shipped through the strait. Iran’s grip on it has shaken the world economy. The capital of Iran, Tehran, has refused to let U.S. and Israeli vessels through after they started the war on Feb. 28.
