President Donald Trump targeted Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones in his Truth Social posts. Although all of them were once strong MAGA supporters, they are now clashing with Trump. The controversy began after Trump ordered strikes against Iran, which has sparked major debate.
Trump called these commentators “stupid,” “low IQ,” and “attention-seeking ‘nut jobs’” because they spoke out against him. He said they are chasing cheap popularity and are not true MAGA supporters, which has further fueled the controversy.
Trump also made personal attacks—questioning Carlson’s education, bringing up his past disputes with Kelly, mocking Owens, and referencing Jones’ legal issues. This all started after Israel launched a strong attack on Iran, and the situation has escalated since then.
Trump described this fight as necessary for America and said it plays an important role in stopping Iran’s nuclear program. Because of this, critics are now targeting both him and Israel.
Trump became angry when commentators claimed that the conflict started because of Israel. They also warned that this situation could push the U.S. into a larger war. Meanwhile, the relationship between Trump and some MAGA supporters appears to be weakening, which could hurt him since he relies heavily on their support.
Candace Owens had accused Brigitte Macron of being a man, after which Trump responded by saying that France’s First Lady Brigitte Macron is far more beautiful than Candace, and there is no comparison.
Alex Jones also stated that he has stopped supporting Trump, and Trump made it clear that he has nothing to do with him anymore.
Many people also believe that if Trump loses the support of his traditional base and influential media figures, he could face serious difficulties in the election and might even lose.
