Donald Trump, who is a Christian, chose not to attend an Easter service and instead went on a strange tour of Washington, D.C.
The 79-year-old president spent Easter Sunday driving slowly around Memorial Circle, near the Arlington Memorial Bridge, where he wants to build a monument in his own honor, according to reports.
During his trip, he also visited Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia.
On what Christians consider the most important day of the year, marking the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Trump also spoke with a Fox News reporter.
During an appearance on Fox & Friends, foreign correspondent Trey Yingst said he called the 79-year-old president on Sunday morning for a 15-minute conversation about his approach to Iran.
Yingst said the president told him, “if they don’t make a deal, and fast, I’m considering blowing everything up and taking over the oil.”
He added that the president said, “you’re going to see bridges and power plants dropping all over their country.”
Trump then claimed he gave amnesty to Iranian negotiators and believes he can reach a deal by tomorrow, according to Yingst.
“I think there’s a good chance tomorrow…they’re negotiating now,” Yingst said.
The president also spent the morning of Easter Sunday issuing strong threats against Iran.
At around 8:00 a.m., he posted a fiery message on his social media platform, Truth Social, filled with profanity, where he threatened Iranian leaders to open the blockaded Strait of Hormuz—through which a fifth of the world’s oil flows—or face consequences.
He wrote, “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran.
There will be nothing like it!!!” Trump, 79, continued. “Open the F—n’ Strait, you crazy b—–ds, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH!” he raged. “Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP”
Meanwhile, at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Lafayette Square, known as the “Church of the Presidents,” Easter services were held at 8, 9, and 11 a.m.
Inside the church, a white marble altar decorated with colorful flowers and doves—symbols of peace—was prominently displayed.
The Daily Beast has contacted the White House for a response.
Trump’s former friend and current critic, former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, criticized the president’s behavior on Easter Sunday in a sharp post on X, calling it “evil.”
” 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,” Greene wrote.
“I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit,” she said.
The 51-year-old criticized Trump’s claim of being a Christian, saying, “Christians in the administration should be pursuing peace.
Urging the President to make peace. Not escalating war that is hurting people.”
She concluded, “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.”
