Donald Trump unleashed a vehement 500-word diatribe against some of his key conservative media backers, who have expressed disapproval of his military actions against Iran.
Prominent figures such as Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly, and Alex Jones have distanced themselves from the President’s decision following the initiation of Operation Epic Fury.
In a Truth Social post on Thursday, Trump lashed out at these former supporters, labeling them as ‘low IQ…stupid people’ and ‘NUTS JOBS, TROUBLEMAKERS.’
Trump stated, “I understand why [they] have consistently opposed me, particularly since they seem to think it’s acceptable for Iran, the top state sponsor of terror, to possess a nuclear weapon—it’s because they all share one trait: Low IQs.”
He added, “They’re foolish, they realize it, their families recognize it, and everyone else acknowledges it as well!”
The quartet of right-wing commentators argues that Trump was swayed into initiating the conflict under Israeli influence and that he has strayed from his ‘America First’ commitments. This fiery outburst from Trump coincides with increased scrutiny over his recent two-week ceasefire with Iran.
The President highlighted some of the most glaring embarrassments tied to each of the right-wing influencers, including mocking Owens for claiming that France’s First Lady, Brigitte Macron, is a man.
‘”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 wrote. ‘Actually, to me, the First Lady of France is a far more beautiful woman than Candace, in fact, it’s not even close!’

Donald Trump issued a nearly 500-word rant ripping into his most influential advocates in conservative media over their opposition to his war with Iran .
Owens falsely claimed Macron was a born named ‘Jean-Michel Trogneux’.
Macron sued Owens for defamation in July.
Trump then went after Jones over his notorious conspiracy theory that the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting was staged.
Those claims ultimately resulted in roughly $1.5 billion in defamation judgments against Jones, awarded to the victims’ families across multiple lawsuits.
‘Bankrupt Alex Jones, who 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,’ Trump continued.
Trump also falsely claimed Carlson never finished college, adding that he was a ‘broken man’ after being fired from Fox News: ‘He’s never been the same – perhaps he should see a good psychiatrist!’
He wraps his rant by claiming all four right-wing stars are ‘losers’ and do not represent the MAGA movement.
‘As President, I could get them on my side anytime I want to, but when they call, I don’t return their calls because I’m too busy on World and Country Affairs and, after a few times, they go “nasty.”‘

‘MAGA is about MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and these people have no idea how to do that, BUT I DO,’ Trump added.
Carlson and Kelly famously campaigned for Trump during the 2024 election.
The former Fox News hosts, as well as Owens and Jones, command some of the largest media audiences in the country.
