When pressed about the vulgar phrasing on April 6, Trump said he chose the words deliberately and wouldn’t apologize, telling reporters the profanity was used “Only to make my point.” His stance signaled no retreat despite widespread criticism.
While a handful of staunch supporters applauded the hard line, vocal critics condemned the message. Marjorie Taylor Greene blasted the post as unacceptable on Easter and warned the rhetoric could harm civilians, urging Christians in the administration to pursue peace. Commentators like Candace Owens also accused the president of being unwell and called for drastic action.
