Donald Trump unleashed a fiery rant on his Truth Social account on Friday, August 21, against ex-Fox News host Tucker Carlson, former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Rep. Thomas Massie.
The three Republicans have fallen out of favor with the president, 80, in recent months due to their differing views on how to run the political party.

Donald Trump also called Marjorie Taylor Greene a 'loser.'
Trump called Carlson, 57, “a loser" and "irrelevant" before labeling Greene, 52, “a highly neurotic woman” and Massie, 55, a “real JERK."
“What a team this would be, THREE LOSERS, and a pocketful of change!” he scathingly wrote. “The only chance they have is to join the Radical Left Dumocrats, and try breaking into the Primary System. To all of them I say, PRAISE BE TO ALLAH!”

Donald Trump claimed Tucker Carlson had a 'low IQ.'
Trump went on to criticize Carlson even more, adding: "Nobody cares about him any longer in that he has become totally irrelevant, and happens to be, surprisingly, a very Low I.Q. individual."
"He could barely get out of College, and maybe he didn’t, but only really dumb people can’t make it through that wonderful four year time in life! Tucker wants to run for political office, but he should be required to take a cognitive test. He’s got no chance, but could probably take a couple of points away from whatever the Republican ticket happens to be! Tucker is a loser, and always has been!" the POTUS continued.

J.D. Vance stopped by a fundraiser in New York on August 19.
Trump's post comes amid reports there is a possible new MAGA party brewing with Carlson at the helm.
His outburst also occurred just days after Vice President J.D. Vance attended a fundraiser in Southampton, New York, hosted by venture capitalists Omeed Malik and Chris Buskirk.
The pair founded 1789 Capital, which backed Carlson’s post-Fox News media endeavors. The political commentator left the network in 2023 after his show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, concluded.
Megyn Kelly Gave Her Thoughts on Tucker Carlson Running for President

Megyn Kelly believed Tucker Carlson is 'disgusted' by the current state of the Republican Party.
Carlson's political aspirations were also mentioned by Megyn Kelly earlier this month when she gave her two cents on him running for president in 2028.
She noted on her eponymous podcast: "I believe Tucker’s disgusted with the [neoconservatives] and what's happened within the Republican Party that for the first time he actually would consider it."
"I just don't see a practical base of support. There's 10s of millions of people who like that point of view of that group, but it's not enough to overcome the obstacles to a path to a presidency either within the Republican Party or starting a third party," her guest Mark Halpern added.
"I've spent a lot of time on this, and starting a third party is nearly impossible in our system. It takes a lot of stuff that group doesn't have," he said.
