00:02Democrats and one Republican are criticizing President Trump after that Easter morning post
00:07threatening news strikes inside Iran. Several questioned his fitness for office and some even
00:13floated the 25th Amendment. In a post on X, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders said, quote,
00:18these are the ravings of a dangerous and mentally unbalanced individual. Congress has got to act,
00:24end this war. Senator Chris Murphy went further, saying cabinet officials should consider
00:29removing the president by declaring him unfit for the job, saying, quote, if I were in Trump's
00:35cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is
00:40completely, utterly unhinged. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Trump is threatening
00:45potential war crimes and damaging alliances, writing, quote, the president of the United
00:51States is ranting like an unhinged madman on social media. This is who he is, but this is not who
00:56we
00:57are. And on NBC's Meet the Press, Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna said Trump's rhetoric
01:01is only making the situation in Iran worse. Let me tell you what won't reopen the straight
01:07up formula is threatening war crimes of bombing indiscriminately power plants, cursing at Iran.
01:14Well, we need a statesmanship like President Obama had. While Senator Tim Kaine called Trump's words
01:19embarrassing. This is all embarrassing and juvenile, and it's people trying to act like they're puffed
01:26up and tough when what we really see from the administration in this war is the absence of a
01:31plan, the absence of a clear rationale, no effort to get allies on board and thus deep unpopularity
01:38of this war with the American public. And in a further break from the president, former ally Marjorie
01:43Taylor Greene wrote on X that Trump's post was, quote, madness, writing, I know all of you and him
01:50and he has gone insane and all of you are complicit.
