<p>US President Donald Trump criticised four media personalities and podcasters who had previously supported him but recently turned against his stance on escalating tensions with Iran and his ceasefire efforts. In a lengthy 485-word post on Truth Social, Trump attacked Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones, calling them ‘low IQ’ and dismissing their shows as ‘third-rate podcasts’. The post was later shared by the White House Rapid Response team on X, amplifying the controversy online.</p>

<p>According to reports, Candace Owens and others have suggested alleged Israeli influence in the unfolding situation. Trump, who recently announced that Iran had agreed to a ceasefire deal, responded directly to the backlash from online commentators and media figures. The reaction sparked further political commentary, including from Trump ally Laura Loomer, who has frequently clashed with many of the same figures on X and reacted to the Rapid Response post with a brief “Finally”.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>While Owens and Carlson have openly criticised the Iran conflict and US involvement, Alex Jones recently said he felt politically 'homeless', claiming he can no longer align fully with Republicans amid Trump’s recent actions. Below are key excerpts from Trump’s lengthy Truth Social post targeting the commentators.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/melania-trump-denies-epstein-links-in-surprise-white-house-statement-says-lies-need-to-end-today-1775761764597"><strong>'I am not his victim': Melania Trump denies Epstein links in surprise White House statement, says 'lies need to end today'</strong></a></p><h2>5 insults from Donald Trump in Truth Social post</h2><p>“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!,” Trump said at the start of the message. He continued, "Look at their past, look at their record. They don't have what it takes, and they never did! They've all been thrown off Television, lost their Shows, and aren't even invited on TV because nobody cares about them, 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. MAGA agrees with me, and just gave CNN a 100% Approval Rating of 'TRUMP'."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/hungary-offered-iran-intel-on-hezbollah-pager-attack-by-israel-1775755798001/embed"><strong>https://www.wionews.com/videos/hungary-offered-iran-intel-on-hezbollah-pager-attack-by-israel-1775755798001/embed</strong></a></p><h2>Individual attacks on Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones</h2><ul><li>Speaking of Tucker Carlson, Trump said the former Fox News host could not even ‘finish college’. The president added, “he was a broken man when he got fired from Fox, and he's never been the same. Perhaps he should see a good psychiatrist.”</li><li>Coming to Megyn Kelly, Trump added that she ‘nastily asked me the now famous, ’Only Rosie O'Donnell,' question."</li><li>Trump then turned his attention to Candace Owens and called her ‘crazy’. The president added that Owens “accuses the Highly Respected First Lady of France of being a man, when she is not, and will hopefully win lots of money in the ongoing lawsuit.” Commenting on Owens personal appearance, Trump said: “Actually, to me, the First Lady of France is a far more beautiful woman than Candace, in fact, it's not even close!”</li><li>Of Alex Jones, President Trump said: “Bankrupt Alex Jones, who says some of the dumbest things, and lost his entire fortune, as he should have, for his horrendous attack on the families of the Sandy Hook shooting victims, ridiculously claiming it was a hoax.”</li></ul><p>Addressing them collectively, Trump added that they were 'losers' and not aligned with MAGA. He further said that mainstream outlets were giving them attention for the first time in years due to their criticism of him. Trump finished his post by stressing his focus on national leadership, claiming he is too occupied with global affairs to engage with critics, and reiterated his stance on Iran and national strength.</p>

The ad confused him because it appears to show a picture of me. But while the movie “Bombshell” is loosely based on my experience during the sexual harassment scandal at Fox News, I have nothing to do with this film. I did not sell the rights to my story or book and only got my first look at the film once it was past the point of any possible edits, though there are certainly some I would have made. Watching this picture was an incredibly emotional experience for me, and for those with whom I saw it. Sexual harassment is pervasive in this country; it can leave scars that do not heal. My heart goes out to those who’ve gone through it, who I hope might find some comfort in this story. As for my thoughts about the film, I’ll have more soon.</a></p>

The ad confused him because it appears to show a picture of me. But while the movie “Bombshell” is loosely based on my experience during the sexual harassment scandal at Fox News, I have nothing to do with this film. I did not sell the rights to my story or book and only got my first look at the film once it was past the point of any possible edits, though there are certainly some I would have made. Watching this picture was an incredibly emotional experience for me, and for those with whom I saw it. Sexual harassment is pervasive in this country; it can leave scars that do not heal. My heart goes out to those who’ve gone through it, who I hope might find some comfort in this story. As for my thoughts about the film, I’ll have more soon. A post shared by Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) on Dec 13, 2019 at 12:57pm PST × Kelly went to watch 'Frozen 2' with husband Douglas Brunt and 6-year-old son Thatcher after which she shared thoughts on the film. She also mentioned that at the movie theatre, her son spotted a 'Bombshell' poster which confused him. This happened as Charlize Theron's personification of Kelly looked similar to his mother. "The film is loosely based on my experience during the sexual harassment scandal at news agency, I have nothing to do with this film," Kelly wrote in the post. As Kelly concluded the post she noted that she has more thoughts about the film and she will be sharing them soon.

Watching 'Bombshell' was incredibly emotional experience: Megyn Kelly

<p>Television anchor Megyn Kelly's NBC morning show "Megyn Kelly Today" will not return to the air, NBC News said in an emailed statement on Friday.<br />
<br />
Earlier this week, Kelly sparked widespread criticism by defending the use of blackface as part of Halloween costumes during remarks on the show.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Kelly apologised for the comments on the air, but the network began airing taped episodes of her normally live show on Thursday.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Kelly, 47, remains an employee of NBC News and "discussions about next steps are continuing," her attorney, Bryan Freedman, said in a statement on Friday.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;According to a 'Today'&nbsp;show report on Friday, NBC executives and Kelly's representatives were in negotiations about her departure and her remaining three-year $69 million contract.<br />
<br />
NBC hired Kelly in January 2017 after she rose to fame on 21st Century Fox's cable channel Fox News. At the time, her contract at Fox was up for renewal and she said she was searching for new opportunities.<br />
<br />
Next week, other Today show co-anchors will host during the 9 am&nbsp;hour that had belonged to Kelly, NBC News said.<br />
<br />
Kelly made her controversial remarks on her show on Tuesday.<br />
<br />
"What is racist? Because you get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface for Halloween or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween," she said.<br />
<br />
"When I was a kid, that was OK as long as you were dressing up like a character."<br />
<br />
Kelly apologised on air the next day, saying, "I was wrong, and I am sorry."&nbsp;<br />
<br />
NBC News Chairman Andrew Lack condemned the remarks in a staff meeting, according to a report on the network's 'Today'&nbsp;morning show on Friday.<br />
<br />
Last September, Kelly caused a furore when she interviewed actress Jane Fonda and quizzed her about plastic surgery. She was criticised for interviewing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who has said the 2012 Connecticut school shooting a hoax.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Despite her high-profile hiring, Kelly has failed to boost audiences.<br />
<br />
According to Nielsen rating data, 'Megyn Kelly Today'&nbsp;drew an average audience of 2.3 million in the 12 months to September 2018, compared to 2.8 million for 'Today's Take'&nbsp;that was hosted by Al Roker and Tamron Hall and replaced by Kelly's show.</p>
