Donald Trump attacks Tucker Carlson and MAGA defectors

Donald Trump launched a series of sharp attacks on Truth Social against former allies Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Thomas Massie. The confrontation follows a recent meeting between the three individuals, which has fueled speculation regarding a potential breakaway political movement or third-party effort.

Trump dismissed the group as “LOSERS ALL,” specifically targeting Carlson by calling him “totally irrelevant” and a “very Low I. Q. individual.” He suggested that if Carlson were to seek political office, he should be required to undergo a cognitive test. Trump also criticized Greene, labeling her a “neurotic young woman” who shifted from ultra-conservative to liberal, and dismissed Massie as a “failed politician.”

The rift appears to be driven by ideological disagreements, including Carlson’s criticism of U.S. military involvement in Iran and his support for a more isolationist “America First” platform. While Carlson has denied personal presidential ambitions, he has expressed interest in helping to build a third party.
