From Newsweek:
The ominous, unfulfilled threat by President Donald Trump to obliterate Iran this week signaled the “descent into corporate evil” for the United States, according to an editorial published on Friday.
Editorial staff at the Missouri-based National Catholic Reporter condemned Trump in a scathing critique days after he vowed to indiscriminately slaughter Iranians if their government failed to reopen the critical Strait of Hormuz amid the ongoing conflict. “They will go down as three of the most reckless and defining days in the history of the U.S. presidency, an anti-Triduum that began on Easter Sunday morning,” the staff wrote in Friday’s editorial. “Announcing to the world that we were willing to annihilate a civilization, Donald Trump led our descent into corporate evil.”
