Trump attacks conservative influencers for criticizing him about Iran and calls them “stupid”

The president Donald Trump attacked this Thursday against the most influential conservatives criticizing his moves in the Iran war. In a message on your network Truth Social He freely attacked those who have censored some of his recent statements.

“They have one thing in common: They’re stupid and they know it. Their families know it and everyone knows it.” He was referring to Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens y Alex Jonesfaithful promoters of their MAGA movement.

An hour later he went on a rampage in the same environment against Wall Street Journal for saying he had “prematurely declared victory.” He defined it as “one of the worst and most inaccurate” editorial teams around the world.

What the four objectives of the snub do share post of almost 3,000 characters is that they are communicators with a enormous influence in the conservative electorate. Adding up his followers on social networks, we can count between 30 and 35 million.

The message unleashed a gale of reactions for and against. The networks censored personal allusions above all. “Statements like this speak more about you than about them, sir,” said a follower on X.

First on the list of disqualifications, Tucker Carlsonis one of the most influential voices of American conservative populism. He maintains extreme positions against immigration. He has been accused of amplify conspiracy theories and racist messages.

His relationship with the president has been like a roller coaster, with ups and downs depending on the journalist’s support. Carlson led in 2016 the most watched news program from the USA through Fox News.

Currently, it maintains a channel on YouTube with almost two million followers. This Wednesday, he issued a video criticizing the latest statements of the president. “You say Iran is going to be in hell? It is already in hell!” he said.

The part of the program that turned on trump was when the host declared: “If you work in the White House or the Army, it’s time to say no!” “We must tell the president to his face that there is no way“he added.

The message qualifies the journalist as a “fool… who couldn’t even finish college.” “He was a washed-up man when he was fired from Fox and he has never been the same again. Maybe he should see a good psychiatrist!” he concluded.

Megyn Kelly is a conservative political commentator who also worked in the Fox. He currently directs a program in YouTube with almost five million subscribers.

We must tell the president to his face that there is no way

In 2015, she asked Trump on camera if it seemed appropriate in his position to call women he disliked “fat, pigs, bitches, or sluts.” The president’s message in Truth Social I remembered the episode.

Of Candace Owens She said that the French first lady is much prettier than her. The commentator sparked controversy when she spread the conspiracy theory that Brigitte Macron was actually a man.

In his message, Trump said he hoped the French president’s wife would win many millions in the demand that should be made to the commentator. Owens manages his channel Candace in YouTube with nearly 6 million followers.

Alex Jonesfounder of the far-right platform Infowarsis known for his conspiracy theories. Trump mentions in his message the compensation of more than 1 billion dollars that he had to assume in favor of the families of the victims of the Sandy Hook massacre.

In 2012, the 20-year-old Adam Lanza murdered 20 students and 6 teachers in a school in the town of Newton, Connecticut. Jones spread the theory that it was all staged and that actors were hired to simulate the mass murder.

He treats the four of them useless and losers. He says he has nothing to do with them anymore; They call him on the phone, but he doesn’t have time to answer them because he is very busy with the war and the country.

Support MAGA

Carlson, Kelly, Owens and Jones represented in the past the more radical influence of the Trumpism. Their programs served as an amplifier of MAGA’s main lines: fight against immigration, white supremacy or ultranationalism.

However, in the second term they have distanced themselves from the official position, criticizing some of the president’s actions. Recent statements about the end of “a civilization” or the constant changes in the war in Iran have intensified criticism against the White House.

For the moment, the response of some of those mentioned has been timid: “Maybe it is time to send grandpa home,” he published Candace Owens in X. For its part, Alex Jones He declared: “Deep down I feel sorry for him. I supported the previous Trump, who did many good things for this country.”

They are not the only voices that have risen against Donald Trump’s behavior among conservative ranks. A growing number of prominent Republicans joined Democrats in condemning the remarks this Easter.

The rhetoric of recent days encourages the idea that the president’s behavior is erratic. Several Democratic congressmen and senators have asked the Cabinet to invoke Section 4 of the 25th Amendment, which establishes the mechanism for the transfer of power in the event of the president’s incapacity. The request has been rejected.
