Just two days later, Trump followed his Easter tirade with posts that reached a new level of dangerous rhetoric, claiming that an \u201centire civilization\u201d would end if a deal could not be reached with Iran. Pundits, politicians, and even former supporters of Trump have pushed back\u2026 and the response hasn\u2019t been pretty. This episode of Middle Theory is dedicated to the casualties of the ongoing war in Iran, including U.S. military personnel and innocent civilians killed during the military conflict.  If you like Middle Theory and want to help support the show, you can donate to the program here: DOLLARS FOR DONUTS Jason Ludwig Brian Igelman Tania Biswas SHOW NOTES POPE\u2019S EASTER ADDRESS: Pope Leo Calls for Peace and Warns of a World Indifferent to Violence  PRESIDENT\u2019S EASTER MESSAGE: Trump on Truth Social  LEO RISING: The Iran War Showed a New Side of Pope Leo  PENTAGON THREATS: JD Vance Confronted With Report the Pentagon Allegedly Threatened Vatican CEASEFIRE: Even as They Praise Iran Cease-Fire, World Leaders Are Whipsawed by Trump CONCERN: Trump's threat to Iran shocks global leaders, unnerves some Republicans | Reuters  AUDIO HIGHLIGHTS: "Complete demolition": Trump repeats threat to Iran power plants - YouTube  WEAKENED?
