'That is a big fissure': MAGA infighting explodes as Trump launches intense tirade
Reactions were mounting Thursday after President Donald Trump dropped a lengthy, angry post calling out his former allies, whom he referred to as "losers."
Trump took to his Truth Social platform to rage at multiple MAGA voices: Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens and Alex Jones. The president's move revealed even more ideological fractures amid the already divided MAGA coalition.
"I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years, especially by the fact that 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. "They’re stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too! Look at their past, look at their record. They don’t have what it takes, and they never did!"
The internet was stunned by the president's comments, including conservative followers. Some sided with Trump and continued to support him, while others noted just how much the conservative party had ruptured.
"All of the lying must be exposed. Call them all out! Go Go Go!! God bless President and Mrs. Trump. We, the People, love you both so much! Amen," Tiffany Virili, Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. admin and MAGA supporter, wrote on Truth Social.
"They are SCUM! Grifters! Traitors! WE STAND WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP!!!!!!" Eric Reimer, an attorney, veteran and MAGA follower, wrote on Truth Social.
