Trump Fires Back at Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and Others Over Iran War Comments

President Trump unleashed a verbal tirade against four prominent conservative commentators on Thursday, branding them as “NUT JOBS” and “losers” in an escalating feud over the Iran conflict. His remarks targeted Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones, accusing them of criticizing him merely to attract attention.

In a scathing post on Truth Social, Trump declared, “I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years, especially given their stance on Iran, the Number One State Sponsor of Terror, having a Nuclear Weapon — Because they have one thing in common, Low IQs.” His comments reflect the ongoing tensions between Trump and certain right-wing media figures.

Trump’s tirade continued with, “They’re stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too!” He urged people to examine their past actions and records, asserting, “They don’t have what it takes, and they never did!”

The president further criticized the four commentators by pointing out that they have been “thrown off Television,” lost their shows, and are rarely invited onto mainstream media platforms. “Nobody cares about them, they’re NUT JOBS, TROUBLEMAKERS, and will say anything necessary for some ‘free’ and cheap publicity,” he exclaimed.

Trump suggested that the criticism he faces from this group is driven by their pursuit of “clicks” for their “Third Rate Podcasts.” His comments highlight the friction within the conservative media landscape as personalities vie for influence and audience engagement.

“[B]ut nobody’s talking about them, and their views are the opposite of MAGA — Or I wouldn’t have won the Presidential Election in a LANDSLIDE.” he continued, noting that recent polling showed MAGA voters giving him a “100% Approval Rating.” 

“MAGA agrees with me … not Hand Flailing Fools like Tucker Carlson, who couldn’t even finish College, he was a broken man when he got fired from Fox, and he’s never been the same — Perhaps he should see a good psychiatrist!” the president fumed.  “Or Megyn Kelly, who nastily asked me the now famous, ‘Only Rosie O’Donnell,’ question, or ‘Crazy’ Candace Owens, who accuses the Highly Respected First Lady of France of being a man, when she is not, and will hopefully win lots of money in the ongoing lawsuit.” 

Trump argued Brigitte Macron “is a far more beautiful woman than Candace, in fact, it’s not even close!” 

Turning his ire to “Bankrupt Alex Jones,” Trump argued the “Infowars” host “says some of the dumbest things, and lost his entire fortune, as he should have, for his horrendous attack on the families of the Sandy Hook shooting victims, ridiculously claiming it was a hoax.”

“These so-called ‘pundits’ are LOSERS, and they always will be!”

Trump went on to accuse CNN, the New York Times and “all of the other Radical Left ‘News’ Organizations” of “hailing” Carlson, Kelly, Owens and Jones and “giving them ‘positive’ press for the first time in their lives.”

“They’re not ‘MAGA,’ they’re losers,” he declared, “just trying to latch on to MAGA.”

Trump asserted he could “get them on my side anytime I want to” but instead chooses to not return their phone calls because he’s “too busy on World and Country Affairs.”

He predicted they would end up going “nasty” anyway, “just like” ex-Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who he referred to as “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown,” adding, “but I no longer care about that stuff, I only care about doing right for our Country.”

Trump finished off the nearly 500-word-long post by insisting, “MAGA is about WINNING and STRENGTH in not allowing Iran to have Nuclear Weapons. MAGA is about MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and these people have no idea how to do that, BUT I DO, because THE UNITED STATES IS NOW THE ‘HOTTEST’ COUNTRY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!”
