Tucker Carlson supported President Trump from the beginning.
Now, fans of both are fearing the worst.
And Donald Trump said five words about Tucker Carlson that no one could have predicted.
Prominent voices in the MAGA movement are split over President Trump’s decision to go to war with Iran.
Megyn Kelly told listeners to her podcast that she still supports President Trump as much as ever, but that she questions the wisdom of another regime change war in the Middle East.
“I support the President… But that does not mean you have to accept another Middle East war without question. And anybody who tells you that can SUCK IT,” Kelly declared.
Kelly lamented that six service members lost their lives and that the U.S. government’s job wasn’t to bring freedom to Iran or protect Israel’s interests.
“But my own feeling is no one should have to die for a foreign country. I don’t think those four service members died for the United States. I think they died for Iran or for Israel. I understand how this helps Iran perfectly well. I get it. I mean, I hope, long term, we’ll see… But they seem rather jubilant, 80% of the country does not support the Ayatollah. He was a terrible, terrible man. No one is crying that he’s dead, no normal person, but our government’s job is not to look out for Iran or for Israel. It’s to look out for us,” Kelly continued.
Tucker Carlson met with President Trump on three occasions and argued against going to war.
Carlson said that a war with Iran was “absolutely disgusting and evil.”
Journalist Rachel Bade asked President Trump about the comments from Kelly and Carlson.
Carlson and Kelly host two of the biggest podcasts in America, and Bade wanted to know whether they represented a fracture in MAGA.
Trump told Blade that he decided what MAGA was and that “MAGA’s not the other two.”
“I think that MAGA is Trump — MAGA’s not the other two,” Trump remarked. “MAGA wants to see our country thrive and be safe. And MAGA loves what I’m doing — every aspect of it… This is a detour that we have to take to keep our country safe and keep other countries safe, frankly.”
Trump recalled that Kelly famously feuded with him in the 2016 election but campaigned for him in 2024.
The President acknowledged a disagreement of opinion on the war, but said that he had to take action that he thought was right.
“Megan was opposed to me for years when I ran the first time, and nothing stopped me,” Trump stated. “And so, you know, some people are against — and they always come back. She came all the way back. But now I guess she maybe doesn’t like the idea of this war, but I do because I have to keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of the Iranians.”
Trump also said he accepted the fact that he and Carlson wouldn’t see eye to eye on this and that Tucker “can say whatever he wants; it has no impact on me.”
Kelly and Carlson still support Donald Trump.
Trump admitted this was the case while still disagreeing about the war.
Many Trump supporters give the President the benefit of the doubt due to his history of success in foreign policy.
Others, like Carlson and Kelly, worry that a new war in the Middle East could spiral into a quagmire.
They are saying they disagree with the President while remaining supportive of his overall agenda.
