The Daily Beast:
"President Donald Trump has been forced to confront concerns about his mental health after issuing a profanity-laced Easter tirade against Iran over the weekend.
In a high-stakes press conference on Monday, Trump outlined the dramatic rescue of a U.S. pilot downed inside Iran, as well as the rapidly escalating war that has entered its fifth week.
But questions turned to his expletive-filled rant on Sunday, which has raised serious concerns about his mindset.
'Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F----n’ Strait, you crazy b-----ds, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH!' he wrote."

--The NYT didn't speculate about the sanity of our President, despite the fact that members of his own party have. Is this the NYT protecting the image of our government, despite how erratic and just plain crazy he has been.

"Univ. of Washington Removes Mideast Center Director Who Criticized US-Israeli War on Iran.
'There’s a chilling effect on not just my academic freedom, but that of my colleagues; anyone who dares to speak out against the war and against aggression,' said UW professor Aria Fani.
The University of Washington has removed a professor from his role as director of its Middle East Center after he criticized the illegal US-Israeli war of choice on Iran and condemned Zionism, the settler-colonial movement for Jewish hegemony in Palestine.
There’s a chilling effect on not just my academic freedom, but that of my colleagues; anyone who dares to speak out against the war and against aggression,' he said."

"Trump ‘Openly Flaunting His War Crimes’ as US Bombs Iran’s Civilian Infrastructure .
'The president of the United States would like everyone to know that he is acting with criminal intent, in case there was any ambiguity,' a US law professor said of his social media post with bridge bombing footage.
After pledging in a prime-time address that the United States and Israel would bomb Iran 'back to the Stone Ages where they belong,' President Donald Trump on Thursday shared a video of the US blowing up an Iranian bridge and promised, 'Much more to follow!' "

-->This is another story that the NYT did not cover. Is this just protecting the image of the United States in the rest of the world? And what image would that be?
