At a Monday, April 6 press conference, Trump interrupted a question about critics who say his mental health should be examined, replying, "I don’t care about critics." He added he hadn't "heard" the rumors and argued the country needed more people like him, citing his record on trade and policy.
Over Easter weekend Trump posted a message that readers and officials called threatening toward Iran, using censored profanity and warning of attacks on power plants and bridges. He later told reporters he used the expletives "only to make my point."
