Donald Trump Is Now Attacking Tucker Carlson After Carlson Criticized The War With Iran As “Absolutely Disgusting And Evil”
A sharp public feud has erupted between Donald Trump and conservative commentator Tucker Carlson after Carlson strongly condemned the ongoing conflict with Iran.
Carlson, once one of Trump’s most prominent media allies, described the U.S.-linked military action against Iran as “absolutely disgusting and evil” in remarks that quickly spread across political media and social networks.
The comments marked one of the strongest criticisms of Trump’s foreign policy from within the MAGA-aligned media world.
Trump Fires Back
Trump responded forcefully to Carlson’s criticism during a conversation with Jonathan Karl of ABC News.
According to the interview, Trump dismissed Carlson’s position and argued that the commentator no longer represents the principles of the MAGA movement.
“Tucker has lost his way,” Trump said, adding that Carlson is “not MAGA.”
Trump went further, explaining that in his view the MAGA philosophy is centered on the idea of “America First,” a slogan tied to prioritizing U.S. national interests in global policy.
He also suggested Carlson does not fully understand that concept, saying the commentator is “not smart enough to understand it.”
Carlson’s Opposition to the Iran Conflict
Carlson’s criticism reflects a growing anti-intervention faction within the political right. He argued that the war contradicts the core message many Trump supporters embraced during earlier campaigns—avoiding new foreign conflicts and focusing on domestic priorities.
The commentator has repeatedly warned that escalating the war could dramatically reshape American politics and fracture Trump’s coalition of supporters.
“This is going to shuffle the deck in a profound way,” Carlson said when discussing the consequences of the conflict.
Carlson has also suggested that the conflict primarily serves foreign geopolitical interests rather than those of the United States, a view that has drawn criticism from several other conservative figures.
A Growing Divide Inside the MAGA Movement
The confrontation between Trump and Carlson highlights deeper tensions within the broader MAGA political movement.
Several high-profile conservative personalities and politicians have begun openly debating the direction of Trump’s foreign policy—particularly regarding Israel, Iran, and the role of the United States in global conflicts.
Some voices on the right argue that military intervention is necessary to prevent Iran from threatening U.S. interests and allies. Others believe such conflicts contradict the America First doctrine that originally helped fuel Trump’s rise.
News reports describe the situation as an increasingly visible split inside the conservative ecosystem, with commentators, politicians, and activists taking opposing sides.
Carlson’s Response
Despite the harsh criticism from Trump, Carlson has responded with a relatively conciliatory tone.
In statements following the dispute, Carlson acknowledged frustration with Trump’s actions but said he still respects the former president.
“There are times I get annoyed with Trump,” Carlson said, “but I’ll always love him no matter what he says about me.”
Conflict Likely to Continue
As the war with Iran continues and its political consequences unfold, the disagreement between Trump and Carlson may signal a broader ideological battle over the future direction of the MAGA movement.
What was once a unified political coalition now appears to be facing increasing debate about foreign policy, national priorities, and the meaning of the “America First” agenda.
