Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took President Trump to task on Monday for a spate of unhinged social media posts and slammed his administrations approach to negotiations with Iran. Speaking to hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski on MS NOWs Morning Joe, the former first lady and senator said Trump should be held accountable for his words, not just his actions.
Last week, the president wrote on his Truth Social platform that a whole civilization will die in Iran if Tehran did not acceed to his demands. Then, on Orthodox Easter Sunday, he posted a lengthy rant about Pope Leo XIV and shared an AI-generated image depicting himself as Jesus Christ the latter of which appears to have been deleted from his account.
Words, especially from an American president, have real consequences, Clinton added. And when you look at the last week of unhinged rants from Trumps social media accounts, its just disgraceful. I mean, threatening civilizational genocide, threatening Pope Leo. Later Monday, Clinton highlighted her interview on social platform X and wrote, Trump has become fully unhinged and we should talk about it.. She also said on MS NOW that Trump and Vice President Vance prattle on and on about Western civilization, [but] I dont think theyve ever taken a course on that subject.
Western civilization has a real meaning. It is a meaning about our values, our institutions, continued Clinton, who lost to Trump in the 2016 presidential election. This country of ours is a result of the development, over centuries, of Western civilization. It is about how we hold leaders accountable, so they dont become autocrats and dictators, and how they dont lead us into reckless wars and really unhinged attacks on the first American pope.

The response is pretty much as expected.
