Trump rages at 'low IQ' podcasters against Iran war: 'Opposite of MAGA'

President Donald Trump on Thursday excoriated a series of high-profile conservative media figures who opposed the Iran war, calling them "low IQ" and insisting they supported Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon.

"I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years, especially by the fact that they think it is wonderful for Iran, the Number One State Sponsor of Terror, to have a Nuclear Weapon — Because they have one thing in common, Low IQs," he posted on Truth Social. "They’re stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too! Look at their past, look at their record. They don’t have what it takes, and they never did!"

"They’ve all been thrown off Television, lost their Shows, and aren’t even invited on TV because nobody cares about them, they’re NUT JOBS, TROUBLEMAKERS, and will say anything necessary for some 'free' and cheap publicity," he added. "Now they think they get some “clicks” because they have Third Rate Podcasts, but nobody’s talking about them, and their views are the opposite of MAGA — Or I wouldn’t have won the Presidential Election in a LANDSLIDE."

Carlson, Kelly, Owens, and Jones currently host some of the most popular podcasts in conservative media and all have decidedly opposed the Iran war, despite their previously longstanding support for Trump himself. 

Trump then took individual potshots at all four, referencing Carlson's termination from Fox News, Kelly's previous altercation with him during a 2016 debate, Owens's legal battles with the president of France and his wife, and Jones's defamation suit.

"These so-called 'pundits' are LOSERS, and they always will be! Now Fake News CNN, The Failing New York Times, and all of the other Radical Left 'News' Organizations, are 'hailing' them, and giving them 'positive' press for the first time in their lives," he insisted. "They’re not 'MAGA,' they’re losers, just trying to latch on to MAGA."
