President Trump cast Tucker Carlson out of his Make America Great Again movement following the conservative talking head’s loud criticism of the US and Israeli assault on Iran.
“Tucker has lost his way,” the commander-in-chief told ABC News’ Jonathan Karl on Thursday. “I knew that a long time ago, and he’s not MAGA. MAGA is saving our country. MAGA is making our country great again. MAGA is America first, and Tucker is none of those things. And Tucker is really not smart enough to understand that.”
The comments came after Carlson recently called the strikes on Iran “absolutely disgusting and evil.”
The ex-Fox News host, now a podcaster, has also been outspoken in criticizing the Trump administration on issues like the Jeffrey Epstein files, the war in Ukraine and more.
Carlson’s previous MAGA creds include meeting with Trump at the White House many times. He was also a primetime speaker at the Republican National Convention in 2024.
Along with consigning the podcast host to the land of MAGA has-beens, Trump on Thursday took a victory lap on his Iran decision.
He called the operation a success and said people have been “loving it,” though polls have been mixed.
“They are decimated for a 10-year period before they could build it back,” he said of Iran. --->READ MORE HERE

Carlson told ABC News on Saturday that the attacks were “absolutely disgusting and evil,” a comment that followed his three separate Oval Office meetings with Trump. Per the New York Times, Carlson lobbied against military force amid concerns that U.S. soldiers would be put in harm’s way, as well as the implication that the country was following Israel’s demands.
Kelly also spoke out against the attack on her podcast, saying she didn’t understand the administration’s explanation for the strikes and had “serious doubts” about their necessity, arguing the soldiers died not for the U.S. but “for Iran or for Israel.” --->READ MORE HERE
