On Thursday, Trump took to Truth Social to defend U.S. military actions. Meanwhile, he directly criticized Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones.
Trump dismissed their stance, saying, “They’re not ‘MAGA.’” He went further, describing them as having “low IQs” and calling them “stupid people.”
In addition, he accused them of supporting Iran indirectly. He wrote:
“I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years, especially by the fact that 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.”
Moreover, he did not stop there. He added, “They’re stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too!”

“Look at their past, look at their record. They don’t have what it takes, and they never did! They’ve all been thrown off Television, lost their Shows, and aren’t even invited on TV because nobody cares about them,” he said.
He also claimed they rely on “Third Rate Podcasts” for attention. Therefore, he argued their views do not reflect the MAGA base.
Meanwhile, each figure has previously criticized Trump’s approach to Iran.
Carlson described Trump’s threats as “vile on every level.” Kelly also expressed frustration, saying, “I don’t know about you, but I am sick of this s***!”
In addition, Alex Jones reportedly called for the use of the 25th Amendment. Owens, on the other hand, referred to Trump as a “Mad King.”
These reactions have deepened divisions within conservative circles. However, Trump insists his stance reflects strength and leadership.
He concluded by reinforcing his position, stating that MAGA stands for “WINNING and STRENGTH.” He also emphasized preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
