It’s Monday…
Shitshow’s public schedule for…

Press Conference means this:

At this point, they should skip official scheduled events and just post: 8:00 a.m. to midnight Eastern Time — America remains embarrassed.
That national nightmare was on full display on Easter Sunday, when Puddle threatened Iran with “living in Hell” if those “crazy bastards” didn’t open the “Fuckin’ Strait” by Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time—because apparently that’s where we are now.


And if that wasn’t enough, he followed it up by calling reporters and doubling down.
Fox News reporter Trey Yingst reported:
NEW:

"If they don't make a deal and fast, I'm considering blowing everything up and taking over the oil," President Trump told me.
President Trump added that he believes he'll be able to get a deal with Iran by tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/a7EDL6hQUJ
The clip runs about 11 minutes, if you’re feeling brave.
From the clip:
President Trump told me he's given Iranian negotiators "immunity from death," something they asked for.

"The big thing is they're not going to have a nuclear weapon. They're not even negotiating that point, it's so easy," the President added. "That's already been conceded. Most…
The rest of the tweet says: “The big thing is they’re not going to have a nuclear weapon. They’re not even negotiating that point, it’s so easy,” the President added. “That’s already been conceded. Most of the points are conceded.”
Narrator: if Iran has already agreed to “no nukes”, why are we threatening to “blow everything up”?
He also told Fox News that the U.S. supplied guns to Iranian protesters. He then claimed the Kurds stole them.
NEW: The United States sent guns to the Iranian protesters through the Kurds, President Trump told Fox News.

"We sent guns to the protesters, a lot of them," President Trump told me. "And I think the Kurds took the guns." pic.twitter.com/CmAfYJVkIH
Some Kurds are saying they didn’t receive weapons of any kind.
Here’s what Kurdish Komala Party leader Abdullah Mohtadi told be about U.S. support last month, unrelated to what the President said about weapons. pic.twitter.com/qWlZrHo26z

Which brings us back to that Easter Sunday threat…
ABC News reporter Rachel Scott reported:
Spoke with President Trump. He told me the conflict should be over in days, not weeks but if no deal is made he’s blowing up the whole country with “very little” off the table.
— Rachel Scott (@rachelvscott) April 5, 2026
"If happens, it happens. And if it doesn't, we're blowing up the whole country,” he said.
I asked if…
The rest of the tweet says: I asked if there’s anything off limits. “Very little,” he said.
Narrator: The country has an estimated population of 96 million people. Apparently, the media complex has forgotten that “blowing up the whole country” means murdering a bunch of PEOPLE.
The president also told me he doesn’t think American troops on the ground is necessary as of right now.
— Rachel Scott (@rachelvscott) April 5, 2026
"I don't think it's necessary but I don't rule anything out."
Narrator: He’s a fuckstick.
The president tells me he was testing NATO.
— Rachel Scott (@rachelvscott) April 5, 2026
"This was a test for NATO, I didn't need them, but I wanted to test them.”
“I said, I'd love to have you guys get involved. And they said, well, we can't do it. I said, Oh, that's okay. I didn't even give him a hard sell. They…
The rest of the tweet says: “I said, I’d love to have you guys get involved. And they said, well, we can’t do it. I said, Oh, that’s okay. I didn’t even give him a hard sell. They probably said, Oh, he’s a terrible salesman. Because all I did say, love to have you be involved.”
“I was doing that as a test. I didn’t need that, right? They’re a paper tiger. Paper Tiger. They have no ships. They have no nothing, and Putin has zero fear of them,” he said. “But I did it as a test.”
Narrator: Article 5 of NATO has been invoked only once, by the United States after 9/11.
I asked if the president if he would move back his deadline for Iran.
— Rachel Scott (@rachelvscott) April 5, 2026
He said "I don't want to talk about it, they have plenty of time to make a deal. If they don't want to make a deal — their whole country is gone," he said.
I get how reporters work, but the sitting president just said he’d commit war crimes while supporting genocide. I’m thinking who might be his next AG after firing Propaganda Bondi could wait a tick.
Here's the full quote when I asked the president about targeting civilian infrastructure
— Rachel Scott (@rachelvscott) April 5, 2026
"Well, I don't want to talk about that. But the civilians want me to do it. Okay, the civilians, you know, when they're most unhappy, when they don't hear bombs going off because they're…
The rest of the tweet says: “Well, I don’t want to talk about that. But the civilians want me to do it. Okay, the civilians, you know, when they’re most unhappy, when they don’t hear bombs going off because they’re living in hell.”
Narrator: Yep. Still a fuckstick.
Axios reported:
In an 8-minute phone call, Trump told Axios his envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are holding intense negotiations with the Iranians.

The rest of the tweet says: Two sources involved in the negotiations said the talks are taking place through Pakistani, Egyptian and Turkish mediators, but also through text messages sent between Trump’s advisers and Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi.
CNN is reporting that Iran has rejected the 45-day ceasefire deal.
Iran has rejected a temporary ceasefire in the US-Israeli war, saying it would allow adversaries to pause and prepare for the continuation of the conflict.
“We are calling for an end to the war and for preventing its recurrence,” foreign ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei was cited as saying by Iran’s state news agency IRNA.
Reuters reported Monday that Iran and the US have received a proposal to end hostilities that could come into effect on Monday. Axios also reported that the US, Iran, and regional mediators were discussing a potential 45-day ceasefire as part of a two-phase deal that would lead to a permanent end to the war.
Baghaei did not specifically address the reports.
He added that Iran has formulated a response to the United States’ demands to end the war and will announce it “when necessary,” referring to the 15-point list of demands that Washington conveyed to Tehran through Pakistan.
The proposal was “extremely excessive and unusual and illogical,” adding that Iran has a “very bitter experience of negotiating with the US,” he said.
Any diplomatic talks are “absolutely incompatible with ultimatums, crimes, and threats to commit war crimes,” he added, referring to US President Donald Trump’s threat to bomb key Iranian infrastructure if Tehran does not open the Strait of Hormuz.
Separately, Iranian Armed Forces spokesman Ebrahim Zolfaghari said on Monday that if attacks on civilian targets are repeated, Iran’s retaliation will be on a much wider scale and losses “several times greater,” the semi-official news agency Tasnim reported.
CNN live update thread.
Al Jazeera’s live update thread has confirmed that Iran has rejected the ceasefire deal.

We are in the stupidest of timelines…
Here’s an example:
Lol. Like there was ever any doubt, @EWErickson, you would choose to approve Trump's immoral behaviors with your made up false equivalency to rationalize your own amoral, debased behaviors. https://t.co/hpMzxwHIAR

Genocidal threats on Easter Sunday are better than the former president signing a proclamation the Friday before Easter that declared March 31, 2024 “Transgender Day of Visibility.”
Let that sink in.
A proclamation recognizing a fixed date just happened to fall on Easter in 2024 (same thing happened to me yesterday, it was my birthday), yet that’s somehow worse than a sitting president on Easter 2026 threatening war crimes and genocide.
This is an Open Thread
PS.
I’m aware that the no new wars campaigner in chief has called those of us against the new war “foolish”.
Asshole gonna asshole, I guess.
— Ann-Tiff-A (@NewsiesNeighbor) April 6, 2026
I mean sure, he promised no new wars, but those of us upset by the new war, are the foolish ones.
But I did intentionally leave out today’s remarks as I wanted to keep his Easter Sunday remarks separate from today’s fuckstickery.
