President Donald Trump<\/a> was spotted at the White House<\/a> on Sunday afternoon in the middle of a rather quiet Easter<\/a> with few public appearances on his schedule.<\/p>\n

Trump was seen exiting The Beast dressed down in golf attire, after visiting one of his golf courses in Virginia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was the first time he was seen since the historic rescue of a missing US airman in Iran on Saturday. The F-15 airman was hiding in a mountain crevice in Iran, with nothing but a handgun to protect himself, <\/a>after his jet was shot down.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Sunday, the presidential motorcade was spotted in Washington DC<\/a>, and Trump was seen reading something on his mobile phone.<\/p>\n

The commander-in-chief kicked off Easter issuing a new threat to Iran<\/a>, promising to ‘blow everything up and take over the oil’ if the country does not make a deal with the US soon.<\/p>\n

He has also been speaking with journalists throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Trump told Fox News<\/a>‘ Trey Yingst he is considering taking far more drastic measures in Iran.<\/p>\n

‘If they don’t reach a deal – and soon – I’m considering blowing everything up and taking control of the oil,’ Trump said, according to Yingst.<\/p>\n

Trump’s latest threat came just hours after he issued a foul-mouthed rant on social media, bizarrely ending the post with the phrase: ‘Praise be to Allah.’<\/p>\n

He wrote in a Truth Social post early on Easter Sunday morning: ‘Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran.<\/p>\n

‘There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F***in Strait, you crazy b*****ds, or youll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP.’<\/p>\n

The commander-in-chief said Iran has until Tuesday at 8pm to accept the offer, he shared to Truth Social on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The President’s threat to turn the country into a living hell comes just days after US-Israeli air strikes destroyed Iran’s tallest bridge, killing eight people.<\/p>\n

His latest messages were also shared just hours after US special forces rescued two F-15 airmen who got trapped behind enemy lines as the war rages on.<\/p>\n

Washington Reporter Editor in Chief Matthew Foldi also shared on X that he had spoken to Trump ‘about reconciliation, China, Iran, daylight savings time, and more’, in response to a post claiming that Trump has skipped three Easter masses and has something ‘wrong’ with him.<\/p>\n

The Hill’s Julia Manchester also noted that she has spoken with Trump Sunday afternoon on the phone, a conversation during which he apparently did notrule ‘out sending ground troops into Iran if they do not make a deal.’<\/p>\n

The president is expected to host an Easter Dinner at the White House on Sunday evening, as well as the annual White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
