Ongoing Dispute Between Donald Trump and Former Supporter Journalists

March 11, Kathmandu – A dispute has emerged between former US President Donald Trump and several journalists who previously played key roles in supporting his election victories. Tensions have been rising between Trump and media personalities such as Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones. Recently, Trump has used his platform on ‘Truth Social’ to launch aggressive remarks against these journalists, labeling them as ‘crazy’ and ‘troublemakers.’ These figures were once considered fundamental pillars of Trump’s ‘MAGA’ campaign. However, they have recently been critical of Trump, especially concerning issues related to conflict with Iran.

In response to criticism from his former supporters, Trump expressed grievances, ridiculing them by stating that they have been removed from television and failed to secure roles in other TV programs. He accused these journalists of leveraging their podcasts merely to promote themselves through criticism of him. Additionally, Trump accused them of falsely alleging that Iran seeks to obtain nuclear weapons. Following Trump’s accusations, these journalists have collectively voiced their opposition.

Alex Jones, the founder of InfoWars, criticized Trump and suggested that the Republican Party should abandon its attachment to Trump and pursue a new direction. While acknowledging his past efforts to help Trump win, Jones stated that Trump has since chosen a misguided path and that a change is necessary. Jones also raised questions about Trump’s health standards, saying, “We never changed; Trump himself has changed.” Similarly, Tucker Carlson criticized Trump’s approach regarding the conflict with Iran. Specifically, he condemned Trump’s disrespectful and threatening language toward Iran over the opening of the Strait of Hormuz.
