Trump Attacks Longtime Ally, Says He Won't Take Their Calls After They Deem His Easter Statement 'Vile on Every Level'

Donald Trump is getting involved in a public war of words with a longtime ally.

On Tuesday, a journalist for the New York Post reported that the 79-year-old president had deemed one his most vocal supporters a “fool” and said that he no longer took their calls.

His heated attack comes after the ally slammed Trump for his profanity laden Easter morning statement, in which he threatened to send Iran to hell, called the Middle Eastern country’s leaders “crazy b—–ds” and demanded that they “open the f—in’ Strait” of Hormuz.

The ally in question was former Fox News correspondent Tucker Carlson.

Carlson addressed Trump‘s remarks on the April 6 episode of The Tucker Carlson Show, referring to the social media post as a “mockery” of Islam and Christianity and saying that it was not appropriate for a president to share.

“Now a lot of people reading that imagined, of course, this can’t be real. Did the president of the United States really just write that?” he said, adding, “And it is real. It is maybe the most real thing the president has ever done and also the most revealing.”

He continued, saying, “On every level, it is vile. On every level. It begins with a promise to use the U.S. military — our military — to destroy civilian infrastructure in another country, which is to say to commit a war crime, a moral crime against the people of the country whose welfare, by the way, was one of the reasons we supposedly went into this war in the first place.”

Addressing the threat of attacking civilian infrastructure, Carlson said, “That will never be moral. That can never be justified. That is always wrong.”

On X, NYP journalist Caitlin Doornbos reported that Trump “went off on Carlson” when she asked him about the remarks during a conversation.

“Tucker’s a low IQ person that has absolutely no idea what’s going on. He calls me all the time; I don’t respond to his calls. I don’t deal with him. I like dealing with smart people, not fools,” she reported him as saying.

This is not the first time that Carlson has broken from Trump‘s stance. It’s also not the first of the president’s allies to call him out over the war in Iran.
