When a sitting US president uses f*** and b****** in a social media post, it's not surprising that people called him "unhinged", especially when he also threatens to blow up Iran's civilian infrastructure -- a war crime under international law

On Easter morning — April 5 — at 8.03am local time, the president of the United States posted this on social media:

“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell — JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
