President Donald Trump is no longer staying quiet about Tucker Carlson’s betrayal of the MAGA movement, or Crazy Candace Owens, Alex Jones, and Megyn Kelly, for that matter. In an explosive post on Truth Social, President Trump 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. 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!“
The post continues:
“These hosts have failed everywhere they’ve went, as President Trump noted. Instead of supporting the greatest president of our lifetime, they’re second-guessing, backstabbing, and attacking his every move. They genuinely want Republicans to lose the midterms and to feed the media narrative that MAGA is in disarray. But President Trump is focused on winning, and to do that he knows he has to jettison these lunatics and make it clear to the world that they have betrayed the MAGA movement.“
This comes after Tucker’s Easter weekend meltdown, in which he attacked Trump’s war against Iran, the world’s largest state-sponsor of terror and a thorn in America’s side for 47 years. He went on to criticize Trump personally, calling into question Trump’s Christian faith, his commitment to America, and his support for the MAGA movement. Tucker insinuated that Trump is purposely killing civilians in Iran and claimed that President Trump didn’t put his hand on the Bible that Melania was holding at his inauguration because he refuses to submit to God’s authority.
“Who do you think you are? You’re tweeting out the F word on Easter morning?… So obviously you’re mocking the religion of Iran. Ok, if you seek a religious war, that’s a good idea. But by the way, no decent person mocks other people’s religions.”
President Trump called Tucker a “low IQ” person who desperately wants White House access, but Trump has stopped answering Tucker Qatarlson’s phone calls.
“Tucker’s a low IQ person that has absolutely no idea what’s going on. He calls me all the time; I don’t respond to his calls. I don’t deal with him. I like dealing with smart people, not fools.”
I have confirmed the explosive exchange, underscoring just how seriously Trump has taken Carlson’s betrayal:
On Easter, President Trump issued a dire warning to the Islamist regime in Iran: Open the Strait, or else, before poking fun at Allah. Apparently, Tucker didn’t appreciate President Trump’s tone, but the president’s words will go down in history as one of the clearest foreign policy messages in history, and the Ayatollahs would be wise to heed his warning before the Tuesday evening deadline.
Carlson’s Easter broadcast crossed yet another line in his attacks against President Trump. Carlson framed Trump’s actions as a step toward global catastrophe while weaving in attacks on Christian leaders and insinuations about corruption at the highest levels in the U.S. government.
“Desecrating Easter was the first step toward nuclear war. Christians need to understand where Trump is taking us.”
Desecrating Easter? President Trump’s willingness to take the gloves off in the fight against Iran, as the terrorist regime continues launching attacks against U.S. interests in the region and holding the Strait of Hormuz hostage, does the opposite: it preserves the religious traditions of Americans by ensuring they’ll never be targeted by Iranian nuclear weapons. The Ayatollahs have called the United States “The Great Satan” for 47 years and want nothing more than to kill Americans and Jews.
Iran already secretly developed missiles that could reach most of Europe, but instead of confronting Iran, our supposed NATO allies have cowered in fear because of their own dysfunctional internal politics, which rely on Muslim votes. There are over 45 million Muslims in Europe out of a population of 753 million.
Carlson has increasingly positioned himself as a counterweight to Trump, but he’s delusional. President Trump’s approval rating is at an astounding 100% among MAGA voters, and Republicans lead Democrats in the generic congressional ballot by three points. Tucker’s attacks are clearly not mobilizing Republicans to turn on President Trump. Maybe that’s because MAGA voters know that President Trump promised that he would do whatever it took to ensure Iran never got a nuclear weapon. Tucker must have tuned out that part.
Carlson is speaking to a small but loud faction that views any projection of American power as a betrayal. Trump, by contrast, has always operated from a doctrine of strength first, restraint and diplomacy when possible, but dominance when necessary. This is how you reestablish deterrence after decades of failed foreign policy demonstrated by Biden’s disastrous pullout of Afghanistan and his failure to respond effectively to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Neither of these things would ever happen under President Trump because he knows that deterrence requires real action. It requires strength and resolve, two things Tucker lacks.
We are heading into a political environment where unity on the right is necessary. Democrats are continuing to consolidate institutional power across media, tech, and government. The last thing the America First movement needs is more infighting, but then again, Tucker has shown himself to be outside of the MAGA movement for a long time now.
Trump’s response makes clear he is done tolerating Tucker’s bullshit. Trump’s comment that Carlson “calls me all the time” and is ignored suggests this is not simply ideological distance; it’s personal. Tucker is Marjorie Traitor Greene in a bowtie. Both went against President Trump. President Trump stopped answering their calls. Then their feelings got hurt, and they turned on President Trump entirely. It’s becoming such a well-trodden path in Trump’s second term that it has become trite.
Carlson, Candace, Kelly, and Jones may still command an audience, but Trump commands the movement, and he will continue to maintain massive support among Republicans as long as he stays true to his campaign promises, like keeping America safe from its enemies abroad.
Tucker will continue to descend into a woke bizarro world of hatred for President Trump, as so many have done, and see his following diminish with each passing tirade. Who knows, maybe he will convert to Islam despite his long history of mocking Islam before he was bought off by the Qataris. Anyone who continues to defend Tucker Qatarlson has a major character flaw.
President Donald Trump is right to call Tucker’s endorsement of Paul Dans in South Carolina the kiss of death. In his race to defeat Senator Lindsey Graham, who has been 100% loyal to President Trump and fully supports the war with Iran, he is flailing. Tucker’s endorsement only means one thing for South Carolinians: stick with Sen. Lindsey Graham who has been endorsed by President Trump.
Tucker’s detachment from reality is almost sad to watch, but I won’t take my eyes off it for a second. I will continue to share with the White House Tucker’s lies and betrayal of President Trump.
