Trump Sparks Backlash After Calling Iran War Critics “Foolish” at Easter Event
Donald Trump called Americans who oppose the Iran war “foolish” during a White House Easter Egg Roll event, turning a children’s celebration into a political flashpoint.
The remarks come as the war continues to divide the country, with polling showing many Americans oppose U.S. military action. According to reporting from The Independent and other outlets, Trump made the comment while discussing the conflict with reporters and attendees.
