US EditionTrump slams conservative media figures over splitting with him on Iran
Trump called the four conservative commentators low-IQ losers and nut jobs after they criticized his handling of the Iran war, intensifying a split in his base.
- On Thursday, April 9, President Donald Trump posted a nearly 500-word Truth Social message attacking conservative commentators Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones, calling them "low IQs," "nut jobs," and "losers."
- The tirade followed vocal opposition from these figures regarding Trump's handling of the Iran conflict, with Carlson criticizing his war rhetoric as "vile on every level" and Kelly labeling the ceasefire "very much like surrender."
- Trump's post disparaged Carlson's education, Jones's legal bankruptcy over Sandy Hook claims, and Owens's controversy regarding French First Lady Brigitte Macron, while asserting the group represents "the opposite of MAGA."
- Reactions split swiftly: some supporters defended the president while Owens and Jones suggested invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office, reflecting a widening internal rupture within the MAGA coalition.
- Political risks for the Republican Party could mount as the internal division deepens, potentially complicating midterm mobilization efforts and reshaping influential media audiences heading into the coming election cycle.
