Former President Donald Trump has unleashed a blistering social media attack against one-time MAGA loyalists, branding them as "losers" in a nearly 500-word post on Truth Social. The outburst targeted prominent conservative media figures who have publicly criticized his handling of the war with Iran.
Trump's Scathing Critique of Former Allies
In his late Thursday afternoon post, Trump specifically named Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones, all of whom have expressed opposition to his Iran military engagement. The former president accused these media personalities of having "Low IQs" and suggested they support Iran obtaining nuclear weapons.
"They think it is wonderful for Iran, the Number One State Sponsor of Terror, to have a Nuclear Weapon — Because they have one thing in common, Low IQs," Trump wrote in his characteristically combative style.
Claims of Indifference Amid Lengthy Diatribe
Despite asserting that he "no longer cares about that stuff," Trump's extensive social media post contradicted this claim of indifference. The nearly 500-word rant detailed his grievances against the conservative commentators while simultaneously insisting his focus remains on "World and Country Affairs."
"They're not 'MAGA,' they're losers, just trying to latch on to MAGA," Trump declared, distancing himself from figures who were once considered part of his political movement.
References to Marjorie Taylor Greene
The former president also referenced another former ally turned critic, mentioning Marjorie Taylor Greene in his post. Trump described her using the derogatory term "Traitor" Brown, drawing parallels between her criticism and that of the media figures he targeted.
"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,' just like Marjorie 'Traitor' Brown," Trump wrote, suggesting a pattern of former supporters turning against him.
Context of Iran War Criticism
The social media outburst comes amid growing criticism from some conservative circles about Trump's military engagement with Iran. Tucker Carlson has been particularly vocal, recently stating that "This is Israel's war, not the United States' war," reflecting a growing divide within conservative media about foreign policy priorities.
Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have each expressed reservations about the Iran conflict through their respective platforms, creating what appears to be a significant rift between the former president and voices that once amplified his message.
Political Implications and Reactions
Political analysts suggest this public feud highlights ongoing tensions within the conservative movement as Trump maintains his influential position despite no longer holding office. The lengthy social media post, while claiming indifference, demonstrates Trump's continued engagement with media narratives and his willingness to publicly confront former allies.
The incident raises questions about unity within the MAGA movement as the 2026 political landscape continues to evolve. Trump's insistence that he could "get them on my side anytime I want to" suggests he still views these media figures as potentially useful allies, despite his harsh criticism.
This developing story continues to unfold as reactions emerge from the targeted individuals and their respective media organizations. The public nature of this dispute between Trump and former supporters marks another chapter in the ongoing realignment of conservative media and political alliances.
