politicsApr 9, 20267810,841

Donald Trump launched a lengthy public tirade attacking Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens and Alex Jones, calling them "nut jobs" and "low IQ" while blasting their criticism of his Iran policy. Those figures had publicly rebuked his Iran stance, and some former allies even joined calls to invoke the 25th Amendment. The exchanges reveal a widening split between Trump and parts of the conservative media and activist base. The rift matters because it undermines Republican unity during heightened tensions with Iran and weakens Trump’s control over MAGA messaging.
