Donald Trump Threatens War Crimes As Easter Bunny Awkwardly Looks On

While fielding questions during the annual White House Easter Egg Roll Monday, President Donald Trump again threatened to commit war crimes in Iran and suggested he'd like to steal the country’s oil — all with the Easter bunny and first lady Melania Trump awkwardly looking on nearby.

"We are obliterating their country… and they just don’t want to say ‘uncle.’ They don’t want to cry, as the expression goes, ‘uncle.’ But they will. And if they don’t, they’ll have no bridges, they’ll have no power plants, they’ll have no anything,” Trump said.

The president then darkly alluded to “other things that are worse” that he’s apparently mulling over, and criticized the American public for not being more supportive of his preemptive war.

“If I had my choice, [I would like to] take the oil. Because it’s there for the taking. There’s not a thing they can do about it,” he said. “Unfortunately, the American people would like to see us come home.”

Melania Trump: All of this is happening for their future. They will be safe in the years to come.

Trump: We are fighting for the children who are in a war zone.
