Trump issues lengthy rant against former MAGA faithfuls he calls ‘losers’ but insists: ‘I no longer care about that stuff’

Donald Trump has issued a lengthy rant on social media against former MAGA faithfuls he calls “losers.”The president name-dropped prominent conservative media figures Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens and Alex Jones, who have all criticized his war with Iran. “They think it is wonderful for Iran, the Number One State Sponsor of Terror, to have a Nuclear Weapon — Because they have one thing in common, Low IQs,” Trump wrote on Truth Social late Thursday afternoon. Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson, both former Fox News personalities, have lambasted Trump this week for his statements about Iran. Kelly told him to “f***ing shut up about that shit” after he threatened death to the Iranian people, and Carlson called Trump’s Easter message “vile on every level.”Donald Trump has issued a lengthy rant on social media against former MAGA faithfuls he calls 'losers' (Getty Images)Hours before announcing a two-week ceasefire with Iran Tuesday, Trump threatened that “a whole civilization will die tonight” if the country didn’t reach a deal to open the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil passageway in the Middle East. Two days before that, Trump warned, “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell.”Trump claimed it was Carlson, Kelly and the rest of the lot he mentioned in Thursday’s post that should “see a good psychiatrist.”He also bizarrely claimed that the first lady of France, Brigitte Macron, “is a far more beautiful woman than” Owens when griping about her.

Actually, to me, the First Lady of France is a far more beautiful woman than Candace, in fact, it’s not even close!”Owens is being sued by French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte after the podcast host baselessly accused Brigitte of being transgender. Owens has “endorsed, repeated and published a series of verifiably false and devastating lies” about the French president and his wife, according to a lawsuit filed last year.Trump then took a dig at “Bankrupt” Jones, “who says some of the dumbest things, and lost his entire fortune, as he should have, for his horrendous attack on the families of the Sandy Hook shooting victims, ridiculously claiming it was a hoax.”The families of children killed at Sandy Hook Elementary sued Jones for defamation for calling the massacre a hoax, prompting his filing for bankruptcy. He owes them roughly $1.5 billion in defamation judgments related to his statements about the 2012 massacre, in which a gunman fatally shot 26 people, including children between six and seven years old. That litigation is ongoing. Trump claimed not to care about what these media personalities had to say about him, but his Truth Social post was nearly 500 words long (AFP via Getty Images)Trump claimed not to care about what these media personalities had to say about him, but his Truth Social post was nearly 500 words long. “They’re not ‘MAGA,’ they’re losers, just trying to latch on to MAGA. “As President, I could get them on my side anytime I want to, but when they call, I don’t return their calls because I’m too busy on World and Country Affairs and, after a few times, they go ‘nasty,’ just like Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown, but I no longer care about that stuff, I only care about doing right for our Country,” the president said, referring to his other friend-turned-foe, former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.
