Trump knocks Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly over Iran criticism: ‘MAGA is Trump’
Trump rejects criticism from prominent conservatives over Iran strikes, asserting leadership of MAGA while polling shows 55% of Republicans approve the military action, Reuters/Ipsos found.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump asserted 'MAGA is Trump' after criticizing conservatives like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly over Iran strikes.
- The dispute grew after President Donald Trump ordered strikes on Iran despite earlier pledges not to start a war, amid criticism about Israel's influence and confused messaging, this past week.
- On podcasts and TV, leading critics argued 'absolutely disgusting and evil', while Megyn Kelly said 'No one should have to die for a foreign country', despite most conservative outlets supporting the operation, The Post analysis found.
