Donald Trump has launched a scathing attack on four former supporters—Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones—over their criticism of his decision to go to war with Iran and the subsequent ceasefire agreement. In a lengthy post on Truth Social, the president accused them of having “low IQs” and running “third rate podcasts,” claiming they are “nuts jobs” and “troublemakers” who only seek cheap publicity.
The four media figures have been among the most vocal conservative critics of the Iran conflict. Trump’s post, which ran to 485 words, suggested that their opposition stems from a desire to see Iran, which he called “the Number One State Sponsor of Terror,” obtain a nuclear weapon. He dismissed their views as “the opposite of MAGA” and boasted of his landslide election victory.
Megyn Kelly, appearing on Piers Morgan’s show on Wednesday, described the ceasefire as “very much like surrender on our part” and argued that the war was “folly to begin with” and “remains folly.” She claimed the Trump coalition is “completely fractured and in smithereens” and accused the president of caring only about himself, not the Republican Party.
Alex Jones, in response to Trump’s post, reiterated his view that the Iran war was “a total disaster” and a “black eye for America,” and called for the 25th Amendment to be invoked. The attacks highlight a deepening rift within the conservative movement over the handling of the conflict.
