In a long post on his Truth Social account on Thursday, the US President openly attacked four well-known conservative voices: Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/alex-jones\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\">Alex Jones<\/a>. He called them \u201closers\u201d and \u201cstupid people,\u201d saying they only speak against him to get attention. <!-- -->This came after all four publicly questioned his approach and views, creating a clear split inside his own support base. Trump claimed these critics do not represent his movement and are only trying to stay relevant.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>In his post, Donald Trump wrote that these commentators have \u201clow IQs\u201d and said they \u201cwill say anything necessary for some \u2018free\u2019 and cheap publicity.\u201d He also pointed to their past careers, claiming they lost influence and are now trying to gain clicks through podcasts and online content.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2 style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:18pt;margin-bottom:4pt;\">Donald Trump targets Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens and Alex Jones in sharp public message<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump\u2019s message was long and very direct. He did not just disagree, he questioned their credibility and past work. He said Tucker Carlson was \u201ca broken man\u201d after leaving Fox News. He brought up an old debate moment with Megyn Kelly and criticized her tone.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>He also went after Candace Owens for her past comments about France\u2019s First Lady and said Alex Jones deserved the financial losses he faced after legal cases linked to false claims about the Sandy Hook tragedy.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Donald Trump repeated that these voices are not part of his core support base. He said, \u201cMAGA agrees with me,\u201d and added that he is focused on bigger national and global issues. He also claimed that these critics often try to contact him but he chooses not to respond.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2 style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:18pt;margin-bottom:4pt;\">Why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens and Alex Jones disagreed with Donald Trump<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The tension did not start suddenly. Over the past few weeks, these commentators have shared their concerns about Trump\u2019s tone, decision-making style, and how he handles major global matters.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>Tucker Carlson has questioned whether Trump is staying true to his earlier promises. Megyn Kelly has raised concerns about messaging and public communication. Candace Owens has also spoken about what she sees as inconsistencies. Alex Jones, known for strong opinions, has criticized Trump\u2019s approach and direction.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>All of them, in different ways, suggested that Trump should focus more on unity and clarity instead of reacting strongly 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 a public divide between him and some of his former supporters.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/world\/us-streamers\/low-iqs-president-slams-candace-owens-tucker-carlson-and-other-podcasters-calls-them-losers-chasing-cheap-publicity\/articleshow\/130154014.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Candace Owens (Image Via Getty) Donald Trump did not hold back this time.
