Donald Trump on Monday took aim at Tucker Carlson after the former Fox News host very loudly broke with the president over his stance toward Iran and its ongoing conflict with Israel.
“I don’t know what Tucker Carlson is saying. Let him go get a television network and say it so that people listen,” Trump told reporters Monday, making a not-so-subtle jab at Carlson’s firing from Fox News in 2023.
The conflict between Trump and his close ally Carlson — who Trump resorted to calling “kooky Tucker Carlson” in a Truth Social post Monday night — is emblematic of a broader divide in MAGA world over how best to handle a potential conflict with Iran.
