Evangelical politician blasts Trump

A well-known evangelical politician in the United States has strongly criticised President Trump for his foul-mouthed Easter Day rant about Iran on social media.

Trump began Easter Sunday with an 8.03am post on Truth Social in which he exhorted Iranian leaders to "open the -------- [expletive deleted] Strait [of Hormuz], you crazy -------- [expletive deleted] or you'll be living in Hell," before signing off bizarrely with "praise be to Allah".

In response, former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, a committed evangelical who broke ranks with the President a while ago, posted on X: "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."
