"The most disturbing, and most serious, post came last week when he threatened to wipe out Iran, writing, 'A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.'"
"As The New York Times' Katie Rogers wrote, 'And that is what passed as a normal Tuesday-morning update from the Trump White House: a warning of mass destruction and what international law would define as war crimes.'"
"Trump praised Leo's brother, who he called MAGA and said 'gets it.' Trump also wrote, 'And I don't want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I'm doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do.'"
Trump's recent posts on Truth Social have escalated in severity, including a threat of genocide against Iran. He described a potential mass destruction event, which raises concerns about war crimes. Additionally, Trump criticized Pope Leo XIV, labeling him as weak on crime and asserting that his election was pivotal for the pope's position. Trump's posts juxtapose serious threats with promotional content, highlighting a chaotic communication style that has become increasingly alarming.
