The president has slammed Tucker Carlson, Thomas Massie, and Marjorie Taylor Greene as “fools” having almost no chance in politics
US President Donald Trump has broken into a scornful tirade against conservative journalist and podcaster Tucker Carlson, as well as his other allies-turned-critics, including former Congress members Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie.
In a Truth Social post on Friday, he branded the trio a bunch of “losers” having little to no chance in US politics and incapable of bringing any meaningful change.
Trump’s rant particularly targeted a meeting between Carlson, Massie, and Greene earlier this month, which was followed by the journalist unveiling a political manifesto claiming that the American political system is “totally incapable of responding to reality” and suggesting a reform involving “a third party or multiple parties.”
The journalist also repeatedly criticized Washington’s war on Iran, arguing that the US betrayed its own national interests by acting on Israel’s behalf. “I think America lost its sovereignty many years ago,” he told RT last month. Speaking on Sanchez Effect last week, he also called the US political system a “fraud,” accusing both Republicans and Democrats of “collusion against the American people.”
The president stated in his post that Carlson was a “totally irrelevant” person with “surprisingly… very Low I.Q.” He claimed that Carlson was supposedly planning to “run for political office” while stating at the same time that “nobody cares about him any longer” and he had “no chance” at any political race where he could “probably take a couple of points away from whatever the Republican ticket happens to be.”
Carlson himself has repeatedly denied personal political ambitions but says he would back any attempt to create a third party.
The president also branded Massie a “failed politician, and a real JERK” voting “No” on “everything” and accused Greene of going from an “ultra conservative to a liberal ‘fool’” in weeks simply because he allegedly did not answer her calls.
Massie and Greene both publicly condemned the war with Iran and criticized Trump over what Greene called his efforts to conceal documents related to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“What a team this would be, THREE LOSERS, and a pocketful of change!” the president wrote, telling them to “join the Radical Left Dumocrats.”
The rendezvous in early August was treated by the US media as a step towards potentially creating a third party to contest the 2028 election, although no official statements were made. Greene did say that “the movement has begun” in a post on X featuring a photo from the meeting.
The former congresswoman also responded to Trump’s post in a lengthy statement of her own, calling Trump “a neocon puppet of Israel” and blaming his tirade on his own “bad polling.” Massie claimed on X that the president was “weeks away from failing his midterms in November” while stating that he “should have listened to” him, Greene, and Carlson.
