“He calls me all the time; I don’t respond to his calls. I don’t deal with him. I like dealing with smart people, not fools,” Trump told the New York Post.

“Desecrating Easter was the first step toward nuclear war. Christians need to understand where Trump is taking us,” Carlson wrote on X.

More from the New York Post:
In Trump’s Sunday morning missive, he warned Iran to “open the F—–’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in H*** – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.”
Carlson called the language on Easter — a holy Christian holiday — “vile on every level.”
“How dare you speak that way on Easter morning to the country?” Carlson said in his podcast. “Who do you think you are? You’re tweeting out the f-word on Easter morning.”
Carlson in his podcast likened the US president to the antichrist, suggesting Trump is setting in motion nuclear war to provoke armageddon.
“Is it just a conventional escalation ladder in a badly thought out war … [or] could it be something bigger? Is it possible what you’re watching is a very stealthy yet incredibly effective attack on what, from a Christian perspective, is the true faith: belief in Jesus?” he said.
“Is it possible that the president sees this in bigger terms? Sees this as the fulfillment of something? An elevation of some higher office beyond president of the United States?”
As part of his evidence, he claimed that Trump infamously did not put his hand on the Bible when swearing into office in January 2025 because he rejects God’s authority.
“… Maybe he didn’t put his hand on the Bible because he affirmatively rejects what’s inside that book, and what’s inside that book are limits on human behavior,” he said. “Because if there’s one theme that spans all 66 books in the Christian Bible, it’s that you are not God and you cannot assume his powers.”
Hyping up his nuclear hypothesis, Carlson further urged White House and military staffers to resign if Trump directs them to launch a nuclear bomb on Iran.
“If you work in the White House or in the U.S. military, now is the time to say no, absolutely not. And say directly to the president, no. In case you’re thinking about using some weapon of mass destruction against the population of Iran,” Carlson said.
“Those people who are in direct contact with the president need to say no. I’ll resign. I’ll do whatever I can do legally to stop this because this is insane. And if given the order, I’m not carrying it out. Figure out the codes and the football yourself,” he continued.

The Hill noted:
Trump has grown increasingly hostile with his remarks about Iran, writing in another social media post early Tuesday, “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” if Iran does not agree to a ceasefire deal.
“I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will,” the president wrote, calling Tuesday night’s deadline “one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World.”
Carlson, who campaigned for Trump in 2024 and has been a vocal supporter of many of his policies, is one of several right-wing media figures who have soured on the president since the war began.
He and others on the right have suggested the U.S. is being influenced by Israel to pursue war in the Middle East and have warned Trump will come to regret attacking the country.
