Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has responded to President Donald Trump after the commander-in-chief publicly declared that Carlson has “lost his way” and is no longer part of the MAGA movement.

This explosive feud erupted following Carlson’s relentless attacks on Trump’s decisive military strikes against Iran, which have crippled the terrorist regime and bolstered America’s security alongside our ally Israel.

President Trump, in an interview with ABC News’ Jonathan Karl, didn’t mince words about Carlson.

“Tucker has lost his way,” Trump stated firmly. “I knew that a long time ago, and he’s not MAGA. MAGA is saving our country. MAGA is making our country great again. MAGA is America first, and Tucker is none of those things. And Tucker is really not smart enough to understand that.”

Trump’s comments come amid Carlson’s criticism of the Iran operation, which he labeled “absolutely disgusting and evil.”

Carlson, who reportedly visited the White House multiple times in recent weeks in a desperate bid to dissuade Trump from taking action against Iran’s nuclear ambitions, has veered dangerously off course.

His rants have even delved into wild conspiracy theories, linking the strikes to supposed Jewish plots involving the Chabad-Lubavitch movement and efforts to “rebuild the Third Temple.”

In response to Trump’s blistering rebuke, Carlson offered a tepid and affectionate reply to former CNN reporter and pro-censorship journo Oliver Darcy.

“There are times I get annoyed with Trump, right now definitely included,” Carlson admitted, before adding, “but I’ll always love him no matter what he says about me.”

For years, Carlson served as one of Trump’s most powerful media allies, amplifying the America First message to millions of viewers during his time at Fox News.

But the Iran conflict appears to have exposed a fault line between two factions: those who support aggressive action against hostile regimes and those who favor strict non-interventionism abroad.
