- On Easter Sunday, Trump made a brief public appearance in Washington, DC, followed by playing golf, countering rumors that he was at Walter Reed Medical Center.
- Trump posted a threatening and expletive-filled message directed at Iran on Truth Social, prompting calls from some commentators and politicians for his removal under the 25th Amendment.
- The 25th Amendment, Section 4, allows the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet to declare the President unable to discharge his duties, temporarily transferring power to the Vice President, with Congress resolving any disputes within 21 days.
- Critics, including former Trump aides and politicians from both parties, condemned Trump's rhetoric as dangerous and immature, urging intervention to prevent potential risks to U.S. service members and national security.
