On Sunday, April 5th, a violent diatribe from Donald Trump against Iran caused shockwaves in Washington. Faced with insults deemed obscene and incoherent on Easter Sunday, a portion of the American political class denounces a mental breakdown and openly questions the president’s ability to govern.
Trump struck again. During Easter celebrations, the American president posted an unusually violent message on his Truth Social network, leading critics and former allies to question his mental health.
The political circle was chilled by the content of the presidential message: “Open the damn Detroit, you bunch of fools, or you will live in Hell – YOU WILL SEE! Glory to Allah.”
According to Chuck Schumer, leader of the Democratic minority in the Senate, the situation is clear: “While you are off to church to celebrate with your friends and family, the president of the United States is ranting like a lunatic on social media.” He believes this behavior “does not represent who we are.”
The concern goes beyond simple political criticism to medical and constitutional grounds. Democratic Senator Chris Murphy labeled the president’s behavior as “completely and totally insane.”
He goes further by suggesting removal from office due to incapacity: “If I were in Trump’s government, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th amendment.”
Even within the radical right, the tone is changing. Marjorie Taylor Greene, once a staunch supporter, now calls for action against Trump’s madness. She urges government members to “stop enabling the president.”
Senator Tim Kaine criticizes an administration without direction, where the speeches of Minister Hegseth and the president are “embarrassing and childish.” For many, these outbursts mainly hide “the absence of a plan, the absence of clear reasoning” at the top of the state.
