President Trump on Thursday assailed Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly and two other leading conservative podcasters who oppose the war in Iran in a blistering 482-word Truth Social post that insulted his critics in starkly personal terms.
The president reserved some of his sharpest attacks for Candace Owens and Alex Jones, two conspiracy-minded conservatives who in recent days have called for Mr. Trump to be removed from office. The president had faced weeks of criticism from all four media figures, but had largely ignored them until Thursday.
They have one thing in common, Low IQs, the president said of the four media figures. Theyre stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too!
In his post on Thursday, Mr. Trump described Mr. Carlson as a broken man, saying he has never been the same since his dismissal from Fox News in 2023. He revived a long-running feud with Ms. Kelly over a question she asked during a debate in 2015 regarding statements he had made about women, writing that she had treated him nastily.
These so-called pundits are LOSERS, and they always will be! Mr. Trump wrote.
Separately on Thursday, Mr. Trump criticized the editorial board of The Wall Street Journal after it accused him of a premature declaration of victory in Iran. The Journal has one of the worst and most inaccurate Editorial Boards in the World, the president wrote.

Keep it up Trumpie! Soon they will all realize that sooner or later you will turn against them no matter how much they kiss your ass! Maybe the truth about you will dawn on even the dumbest of them!

(805 posts)It doesn't matter how nasty he is to legacy media--that doesn't really seem to move the needle.
However, start insulting the media outlets and personalities that your MAGA base tunes into and all of a sudden you are doing something perilously stupid.
Insulting one of Rupert Murdoch's propaganda organs seems particularly unwise.
Keep it up Trump! Even if it peels off a few percentage points of your base you'll find yourself even deeper underwater, just when you need all of the support you can get.

Don't disturb the predators when they're devouring each other.
Less to cleanup when they're done.
