Trump issues new genocidal threat on eve of national prayer event
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
Just ahead of making his appearance at a national prayer event at the nation’s capital, President Donald Trump issued yet another genocidal threat against Iran on Sunday, warning the Middle East nation that if its leaders didn’t “get moving fast” on agreeing to a deal, there would soon be nothing “left of them.”“For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.Trump’s threat comes just ahead of Rededicate 250, a national prayer event held on the National Mall that was organized by the Trump-aligned group Freedom250, a recipient of millions of taxpayer dollars.The threat bears similarities to Trump’s ominous message he shared this past Easter Sunday when he threatened to destroy Iran’s civilian infrastructure, actions that would likely constitute war crimes. Two days later, Trump followed those remarks with an even more ominous threat when he warned that “an entire civilization will die tonight,” comments that were widely condemned as genocidal.
