The week that supercharged MAGA media feuds over the Iran war
The right-wing media ecosystem that has long served as a useful bullhorn for President Donald Trump unraveled into disarray this week, as deepening fears over his management of the war — and fragile ceasefire — with Iran spilled into public infighting among some of his most prominent allies.
From its start, the Iran war has divided prominent MAGA figures, with many supporting the president’s military push and others arguing it betrayed his avowed “America First” foreign policy. That split has grown sharper in recent days, as Trump’s erratic swings — from bellicose threats of sweeping destruction early in the week to an abrupt search for an off-ramp days later — have drawn sharp backlash from longtime conservative voices.
Tucker Carlson encouraged US officials to resist Trump’s orders if it stopped nuclear war, Megyn Kelly effectively accused Trump of gaslighting Americans to “save face” for an unpopular conflict and Candace Owens has called for Trump to be removed from office via the 25th Amendment.
Trump responded to the criticism Thursday in a 482-word social media screed calling Carlson, Kelly and Owens “stupid people,” and “troublemakers” who “will say anything necessary for some ‘free’ and cheap publicity.”
