Donald Trump has launched a furious outburst against some of his closest allies over the fierce opposition to his war with Iran. The US President has faced strong opposition over the launch of Operation Epic Fury from the likes of Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly, and Alex Jones.

In a furious post on Truth Social, Mr Trump refers to his former allies as "low IQ...stupid people' and 'NUTS JOBS, TROUBLEMAKERS." In a near 500-word rant, he raged: "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. They’re stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too!" He adds: "They’re NUT JOBS, TROUBLEMAKERS, and will say anything necessary for some “free” and cheap publicity. Now they think they get some “clicks” because they have Third Rate Podcasts, but nobody’s talking about them, and their views are the opposite of MAGA — Or I wouldn’t have won the Presidential Election in a LANDSLIDE."
