In a series of posts on his platform, Truth Social, Trump defended U.S. military involvement in Iran while calling out prominent commentators Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones.
“They’re not MAGA,” Trump wrote, dismissing the group while accusing them of undermining his agenda. He went further, labeling them “low IQ” and “stupid people” in a lengthy and heated rant.
The president argued that their opposition to his Iran policy suggested sympathy toward a nation he described as a major global threat, particularly regarding nuclear weapons. He also downplayed their relevance, claiming they had lost influence in mainstream media and were now relying on podcasts and online platforms for attention.
Trump didn’t stop at general criticism—he took personal shots at each figure. He mocked Carlson’s career trajectory, revisited a past clash with Kelly, criticized Owens over previous controversial remarks, and referenced Jones’ legal and financial troubles tied to false claims about the Sandy Hook tragedy.
“They’re losers… just trying to latch on to MAGA,” Trump added, insisting that his political movement remains focused on strength, national security, and preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
The outburst comes amid growing tension between Trump and some of his former media allies. In recent days, Carlson and Kelly have openly criticized his rhetoric and foreign policy decisions, particularly regarding escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Jones has gone as far as suggesting Trump’s Cabinet consider invoking the 25th Amendment, while Owens has labeled him a “Mad King” and called for his removal from office.
Despite the backlash, Trump maintains that his leadership has strengthened the United States, portraying his approach as essential to keeping the country secure and dominant on the global stage.
