"They all have one thing in common — low IQ": Trump harshly criticizes internet influencers who supported him in the past
Whether it's a bad memory or a momentary emotional outburst, nobody knows. But this time, Trump launched a sharp attack on a group of conservative media figures: Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones. He labeled them "low-IQ people," "idiots," and claimed they were "obsessed with cheap clicks":
"These are just idiots... Nobody respects them. They've lost their shows, and nobody needs them anymore... No one cares about them—they're just lunatics and hype merchants, saying anything for free and cheap exposure."
He also specifically added that their views actually benefit Iran and have nothing to do with the "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) ideology.
Later, he claimed he could easily bring these people back "on track" at any time—but right now, "I'm too busy dealing with international affairs."
The Wall Street Journal also came under fire. Trump called the publication "one of the worst and most inaccurate media outlets," accusing them of distorting his statements regarding Iran.
This is classic Trump-style rhetoric—extreme, emotionally charged, black-and-white thinking, using derogatory language to attack former allies with astonishing speed. This further deepens divisions within the American right wing and reveals to the outside world that his foreign policy statements are highly emotional and unstable—precisely the reason European allies have long been concerned about the unpredictability of U.S. policy.
