He framed the disputes as ultimately about foreign policy, particularly Iran and its potential nuclear ambitions, and suggested that thier criticisms reflect a broader opposition to his MAGA agenda. Trump mocked Carlson\u2019s intelligence and Fox News firing, urged Carlson to seek psychiatric help, and criticized Kelly for a past debate remark, Owens for controversial claims about the French first lady, and Jones for past comments about Sandy Hook. He accused the group of chasing attention through \u201cthird-rate podcasts\u201d and said MAGA supporters align with him against these pundits, whom he described as losers.
