Candace Owens called Donald Trump a 'chronic disappointment.'
“He’s been a chronic disappointment. And I feel embarrassed that I told people to go vote for him because this wasn’t going to happen, and it is happening,” she said of the brewing conflict between the U.S. and the Middle East.
Trump’s decision to enter into the conflict between Israel and Iran was made public on Saturday, June 21, when the U.S. bombed Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan.
Candace Owens Says Israel 'Is Dictating Our Foreign Policy'
Candace Owens suggested there was 'no imminent threat' when the president bombed Iran's nuclear facilities.
While talking with Morgan, Owens suggested the president’s rash decision didn’t make sense, as “there was no imminent threat to the United States” at the time he made his orders.
“This was not Trump’s decision; it was Bibi Netanyahu’s decision,” she noted, referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “And that is the reason that he did it. We’re very aware that Israel is dictating our foreign policy, and we’d now like that to stop.”

Candace Owens Slams Donald Trump on X
The conservative commentator initially slammed the president via X on June 16.
“It’s all of the same rhetoric dating back to 9/11. All of the same tactic trying to smear people who are against this war as ‘jihadists,’” Owens told Morgan, arguing that the conflict was “simply not our business.”
Owens initially responded to the potential of Trump using the United States and its military in the Israel and Iran conflict on June 16, when she issued a statement on X.
“Israel has lost the propaganda war. No one believes Iranians are writing letters BEGGING to be bombed or that this war is about anything other than Israel’s imperialism. Send your own sons & daughters. If Trump in any way places us into this conflict, he will ruin his legacy,” she wrote.
