Donald Trump recently took to social media to express his disdain for former supporters of the MAGA movement, whom he referred to as “losers.” This sharp critique was aimed at prominent conservative figures such as Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones, all of whom have voiced concerns regarding his stance on Iran.
Trump’s Criticism of Former MAGA Supporters
In a lengthy post on Truth Social, Trump condemned these media personalities, stating, “They think it is wonderful for Iran, the Number One State Sponsor of Terror, to have a Nuclear Weapon.” He attributes their views to what he calls “low IQs.” This outburst follows a series of harsh exchanges with Carlson and Kelly over Trump’s comments about Iran.
Key Events and Remarks
- Trump threatened severe consequences for Iran if negotiations to open the Strait of Hormuz were unsuccessful.
- He issued a warning that “a whole civilization will die tonight” if a deal wasn’t reached.
- Hours before announcing a two-week ceasefire with Iran, Trump described an impending “Power Plant Day” in Iran, suggesting chaos would ensue.
Both Carlson and Kelly criticized Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric regarding Iran. Following his controversial April statements, Kelly told Trump to “f*ing shut up about that shit,” while Carlson described Trump’s actions as “vile on every level.”
Candace Owens and the Macron Controversy
Trump also addressed Candace Owens, who is currently facing legal issues with French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte. Owens had falsely accused Brigitte Macron of being transgender—a claim that has led to a defamation lawsuit. Trump remarked that Brigitte is “a far more beautiful woman” than Owens.
The Fallout from Jones’ Statements
Trump did not hold back in his critique of Alex Jones, labeling him as “Bankrupt” and pointing out his substantial defamation judgments related to the Sandy Hook shooting. Jones, who claimed the tragedy was a hoax, is facing financial ruin, with approximately $1.5 billion owed to the victims’ families.
Conclusion: A Sharp Division
Despite claiming he doesn’t care about the opinions of these former allies, Trump’s extensive post suggests otherwise—nearly 500 words of focused reproach highlight a significant rift. He concluded by emphasizing that these figures are merely “trying to latch on to MAGA” and dismissed their relevance, stating, “I no longer care about that stuff, I only care about doing right for our Country.”
