[<i>Audio link to full show follows this summary.<\/i>]\n<p>We begin by catching up on just some  of the news we missed over the past week, including his corrupt firing of corrupt women &#8212; Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi &#8212; to help distract from his own personal failures.<\/p>\n<p>But <b>Donald Trump<\/b>&#8216;s profane, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cvg0q6wdzp1o\">social media post<\/a> on Easter Sunday, threatening war crimes (which is, itself, a war crime) sort of helps focus both the mind and today&#8217;s program. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!,&#8221; he vowed, adding: &#8220;Open the Fuckin&#8217; Strait, you crazy bastards, or you\u2019ll be living in Hell &#8211; JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Today (Monday), during a lengthy news conference at the White House to tout the rescue of a downed U.S. airman in <b>Iran<\/b> on Sunday, Trump repeated the his threat of war crimes &#8212; including complete destruction of civilian power infrastructure in Iran, &#8220;back to the stone age&#8221; &#8212; to happen tomorrow at 8pm, he vowed, if Iran doesn&#8217;t agree to whatever conditions Trump claims to be demanding now. In a war that he&#8217;s, arguably, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailykos.com\/stories\/2026\/4\/4\/2376264\/-Trump-Just-Lost-a-War-for-America-No-One-s-Done-That-Since-Nixon?pm_campaign=front_page&#038;pm_source=trending&#038;pm_medium=web#\">already lost<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The response to his weekend tweet, from not-insane people on the right, like <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/FmrRepMTG\/status\/2040789438494585175\"><b>Marjorie Taylor Greene<\/b><\/a>, and from the not-right, like UK columnist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/news\/us-news\/donald-trump-weak-bully-war-36972067\"><b>Christopher Bucktin<\/b><\/a>, seem to make clear that not-insane people around the <i>globe<\/i>, at this point, see Trump in serious and terrifying mental decay. So do <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/health\/general\/top-doctor-sounds-alarm-on-trump-79-over-dementia-signs\/ar-AA20fiE0\">medical professionals<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>All of which brings us back to a point we discussed in our <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=15678\">last show before Spring Break<\/a>: Trump has become a serious danger to both the nation and the world. So much so, that even corrupt, compromised, evil <b>J.D. Vance<\/b> would be a more palatable alternative to the unstable, psychologically broken man who now terrifyingly has his finger on the nuclear button. At least in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p>We open up the phones to listeners today to see if they agree on that and much more.
