In a fiery Truth Social rant on April 9, 2026, President Donald Trump unleashed on former conservative allies Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly, and Alex Jones, branding them “nut jobs” and “losers.” The explosive post targets these prominent right-wing voices for their sharp criticism of his Iran war strategy, signaling a dramatic fracture in the MAGA movement.
Trump didn’t hold back, accusing Carlson of being “low IQ” and desperately needing psychiatric help, Owens of being “crazy,” Kelly “nasty,” and Jones the purveyor of the “dumbest comments.” He claimed they’ve all been “thrown off TV” and are now chasing cheap publicity through betrayal, laying bare the unraveling MAGA coalition that once stood united behind him.
The feud ignited as Carlson, Kelly, Owens, and Jones publicly slammed Trump’s handling of escalating tensions with Iran. On her podcast, Kelly decried his threats to “obliterate civilizations.” Jones escalated dramatically, calling for Trump’s ouster via the 25th Amendment and labeling the moment a “nightmare for America.” Owens fired back on X with a biting quip: it’s time to “put Grandpa up in a home.”
This stunning fallout marks a shocking pivot for these one-time MAGA stalwarts, whose defections expose deep ideological rifts over foreign policy. As conservative media splinters, Trump’s unfiltered attack raises questions about loyalty in his base and the future of the movement amid the Iran crisis. Will this rift heal, or has the MAGA empire truly cracked?
