Donald Trump did not back down this time. In a long post on his Truth Social account on Thursday, the US President publicly attacked four well-known conservative voices: Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens and Alex Jones. He called them “losers” and “stupid people,” saying they were speaking out against him just to get attention.
This came after the four publicly questioned his approach and views, creating a clear division within his own support base. Trump claimed that these critics do not represent his movement and are just trying to stay relevant.Donald Trump wrote in his post that these commentators have a “low IQ” and said they “will say anything necessary for some ‘free’ and cheap propaganda.” He also referenced their previous careers, claiming that they had lost their influence and were now trying to get clicks through podcasting and online content.
Donald Trump takes aim at Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens and Alex Jones in sharp public message
Donald Trump’s message was long and very direct. Not only did he disagree, he questioned their credibility and previous work. He said Tucker Carlson was a “broken man” after leaving Fox News. He brought up an old debate moment with Megyn Kelly and criticized her tone.He also went after Candace Owens over her past comments about the First Lady of France, and said Alex Jones deserved the financial losses he faced after legal issues linked to false claims about the Sandy Hook tragedy.
Donald Trump reiterated that these votes are not part of his core support base. “MAGA agrees with me,” he said, adding that he is focused on larger national and global issues. He also claimed that these critics often try to contact him but he chooses not to respond.
Why did Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones disagree with Donald Trump?
The tension did not start suddenly. Over the past few weeks, these commentators have expressed concerns about Trump’s tone, decision-making style, and how he handles major global issues.Tucker Carlson questioned whether Trump was staying true to his previous promises. Megyn Kelly has raised concerns about messaging and public communication. Candace Owens also spoke about what she sees as contradictions. Alex Jones, known for his strong opinions, criticized Trump’s approach and direction.Each suggested, in different ways, that Trump focus more on unity and clarity rather than responding forcefully to criticism. Their comments were not identical, but the common point was that they expected a different approach from him. Trump clearly did not agree. His response shows that this is no longer a quiet disagreement, but rather a general division between him and some of his former supporters.
