Trump Lashes Out at MAGA Critics Amid Iran Split -- WSJ

Dow Jones

Apr 10

By Lindsay Ellis and Meridith McGraw

President Trump called Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens and Alex Jones - four conservative one-time allies of Trump who have been critical of his approach to the war in Iran - "losers" and "stupid people" in a nearly 500-word Truth Social post on Thursday. He said they sought publicity and would "say anything necessary" to get it.

"MAGA is about WINNING and STRENGTH in not allowing Iran to have Nuclear Weapons," he wrote, in addition to attacking the four activists and commentators in detail. "MAGA is about MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and these people have no idea how to do that, BUT I DO."

Kelly on Tuesday told The Wall Street Journal that Trump's Tuesday morning threat against Iranian civilization was "so cavalier about mass genociding civilians, and is completely beyond the pale."

The Iran war has split Trump's MAGA base, with some in the party advocating for the president to focus on domestic issues.
