MAGA Civil War: Tucker Carlson Fires Back After Donald Trump Slams 'NUT JOBS' Amid Internal Tensions Over Iran

The Iran war isn’t just reshaping U.S. foreign policy, it’s igniting a bitter, very public feud inside President Donald Trump’s own political orbit.

In a fiery Truth Social rant, Trump lashed out at several high-profile conservative voices who have criticized his handling of the conflict, including Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and other conservative influencers.

Trump’s response to critics was blunt and personal.

“I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years,” he wrote, calling them “NUT JOBS” and “losers” with “Low IQs.”

“They’re stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too!” he continued, accusing them of chasing “free” publicity and pushing views “opposite of MAGA.”

The president framed the disagreement as a loyalty test, insisting, “MAGA agrees with me,” and positioning his stance on Iran — particularly opposition to the country obtaining nuclear weapons — as central to the movement’s identity.

The backlash from Trump’s former allies was swift, and in some cases, just as cutting.

Tucker Carlson responded by telling Status he “loves” Trump “more than ever,” but added, “I feel sorry for him. The Israelis have him in a hammerlock.”

Candace Owens took a more mocking tone, writing on social media, “It may be time to put Grandpa up in a home.”

Alex Jones, another longtime supporter turned critic, escalated the rhetoric further, calling Trump a “supervillain” and suggesting he was influenced by “demonic” forces.

Trump’s approach to Iran has drawn criticism from parts of his base who view military escalation as a break from his “America First” positioning.

Some of the president’s critics have gone beyond policy disagreements, alleging Israeli influence behind the war. Others have questioned the strategy itself, particularly after Trump’s shift toward a ceasefire following earlier threats.

The disagreement has created a rare fracture in a movement typically defined by strong alignment around Trump’s leadership.

What makes this moment stand out is how visible the divide has become.

Trump dismissed his critics as irrelevant, writing that they’ve been “thrown off Television” and are no longer invited on major platforms. He also claimed he could “get them on my side anytime I want,” but chooses not to engage.

The very public back-and-forth suggests otherwise, however, with former allies openly challenging him — and each other — across media and social platforms.
