“91 million people without power, without bridges” - Trump threatens war crimes

Donald Trump began the morning of Lindsey Graham's funeral with a live Fox & Friends interview that should have been a moment of remembrance. Instead, he used it to talk openly about destroying Iran's bridges, power plants, and civilian infrastructure while admitting the people would be the ones hurt. What unfolded across that interview and the funeral that followed revealed something larger than one cruel remark. It showed a president who treats war, law, grief, loyalty, and human life as tools for his own ego, and a political culture still asking the country to trust him with power he has already shown he cannot carry responsibly.Based on the events of 7-28-2026The Breakdown:* Trump called into Fox & Friends at 8:34 Eastern on the morning of Lindsey Graham's funeral.* The interview was supposed to honor Graham, whom Trump had called one of his closest political allies.* Trump instead described how quickly he could destroy Iran's bridges and power plants if negotiations failed.* He said he could take out most of Iran's bridges in less than an hour and all power plants within one day.* Trump acknowledged that destroying desalination plants would hurt the people, not just the Iranian government.* His remarks contrasted sharply with his earlier claim that he wanted freedom for the Iranian people.* Heather argues that deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure could violate international humanitarian law.* Trump used his construction background to explain that he understood how long bridges and power plants take to rebuild.* During the same interview, Trump said Lindsey Graham liked war and had never seen a war he did not like.* Brian Kilmeade asked Trump who he was negotiating with after Iran denied talks were happening.* Trump avoided naming any person or channel involved in the supposed negotiations.* Trump claimed that if he were not president, Israel would not exist today.* Heather frames that claim as a window into how Trump sees Netanyahu's priorities and America's role in the Iran war.* Benjamin Netanyahu had flown to Washington the night before and met privately with Trump with no press in the room.* Trump said he stopped eight wars and claimed tariffs were responsible for five of them.* After admitting the Supreme Court ruled against his tariff authority, Trump said he had other ways to do the same thing.* Heather connects that response to Trump's broader disregard for courts, democratic norms, and limits on presidential power.* At Graham's funeral, Trump changed a prepared line about everyone liking Graham to say, "Well, not everybody."* Cameras also captured Trump struggling to stay awake and showing Tic Tacs to JD Vance during the service.* Heather argues that Graham's loyalty to Trump ultimately returned humiliation, not honor, and that others enabling Trump should take notice.This commentary represents my personal opinions and analysis of matters of public concern, informed by publicly available information.
