Donald Trump has launched a furious verbal attack on several prominent conservative commentators who criticized his handling of the war against Iran, describing them as “NUT JOBS” in a lengthy social media post.
In the post, Trump targeted well-known media personalities including Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones, all of whom had recently criticized his foreign policy stance on Iran.
The commentators, once considered part of Trump’s broader support base within the “Make America Great Again” movement, have in recent weeks questioned his decision to escalate military involvement, accusing him of abandoning his earlier anti-war promises.
Trump, however, dismissed their criticism, claiming they were seeking attention and had lost relevance in mainstream media. He also made personal remarks about each of them, including comments on their careers, public reputations, and ongoing legal battles.
The exchange highlights a growing divide within conservative circles in the United States over the Iran conflict, with some Trump supporters expressing concern over the direction of his foreign policy. Analysts say this internal friction could pose political risks ahead of the upcoming U.S. elections.
In response, some of the commentators pushed back on social media, with Owens joking that it may be “time to put Grandpa up in a home,” while Alex Jones stated that he no longer supports Trump and criticized his recent behaviour.
The public feud underscores rising tensions within America’s right-wing media ecosystem, where disagreements over foreign policy are increasingly spilling into personal attacks and public confrontations.
