Trump "Attacks" My Right-Wing Influencer Loser, Media Defamed to Spread False News

JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump has harshly criticized a number of right-wing media figures who have recently harshly criticized his decision to launch a war against Iran.

Trump accused Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones of being crazy, troublemakers, and having low IQs.

"The so-called 'experts' are losers and they will always be losers. Now, CNN which spreads fake news, the New York Times which is in decline, and all other radical left-wing news organizations are 'praising' them and giving 'positive' coverage for the first time in their lives. They are not 'MAGA', they are losers, just trying to hitch a ride on MAGA," Trump wrote on the Truth Social platform as quoted by ANTARA from Anadolu, Friday, April 10.

Trump continued as president, he could make them side with him whenever he wanted. However, when the media figures who are influential or influencers call Trump, he will not respond because he is too busy with world and state affairs.

"And after a few times, they became 'evil', like Marjorie 'traitor', Brown; but I don't care about those things anymore. I only care about doing the best for our country," he added in a long post.

The US president was referring to Marjorie Taylor Greene, who was previously a close ally of Trump, but they later fell out because Marjorie demanded that the US Department of Justice release documents related to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have long played a key role in the "MAGA Trump" movement. However, they have become increasingly vocal in criticizing Trump's foreign policy, especially after he started a war with Iran.

Their decision to criticize Trumpism may be more than any other during his more than a year in office and thwart Trump's campaign promise to keep America out of "endless" conflicts.

Previously, on Tuesday (7/4), Trump announced that the United States and Iran had agreed to a two-week ceasefire after mediation by Pakistan.

The first round of US-Iranian negotiations to permanently end the war is scheduled to begin on Saturday (11/4) in Islamabad, Pakistan, with US Vice President J. D. Vances as the leader of the American delegation.

Tensions in Iran have escalated since the US and Israel launched a joint offensive on February 28 that killed more than 3,000 people, including then-supreme leader Ali Khamenei.

Iran also retaliated with a missile attack targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and the Gulf countries, which are the location of American military assets. Iran also restricted the movement of ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
