Overview
- Trump, in a 482-word Truth Social post on Thursday, labeled Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens and Alex Jones “low IQ,” “nut jobs” and “losers” for opposing his war in Iran.
- Owens mocked the president by saying it may be time to put “Grandpa up in a home,” and Jones lamented the Iran campaign as a “total disaster” after earlier raising the 25th Amendment.
- Trump also derided former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene as “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown,” and Greene replied that he has “gone mad” over Iran and that she has not changed her views.
- The clash followed weeks of criticism triggered by Trump’s Iran operation, including an Easter threat that Iran would be “living in Hell” unless it reopened the Strait of Hormuz.
- The feud is rippling through Trump’s base as some longtime supporters on Truth Social voiced regret and said they were “hanging up” their MAGA hats, raising questions about cohesion on the right.
