<p><span style="font-weight:400">President Donald Trump spent part of his Monday trolling Tucker Carlson after the former Fox News host questioned the president’s handling of Iran and conflict in the Middle East.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Last week in a newsletter, Carlson accused Trump of being “complicit” in Israel’s strikes against Iran that sparked the current days-long exchange between the two Middle Eastern powers. The newsletter </span><a href="https://x.com/yashar/status/1933530302120669523" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">arrived</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> in the inboxes of Carlson’s readers under the headline: “This Could Be the Final Newsletter Before All-Out War.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">“Earlier this week, unnamed Washington sources expressed concern over Israel’s ability to fend off Iran’s retaliation, which would inevitably lead to Benjamin Netanyahu ordering the American military to step in and fight on his country’s behalf,” Carlson wrote. “On Thursday, Iran’s president threatened to ‘destroy’ any country that eliminates his government’s nuclear facilities. Now, the world will learn what that looks like.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Trump responded to Carlson’s criticisms while attending the Group of Seven Summit in Canada.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">“Somebody please explain to kooky Tucker Carlson that, ‘IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!’” Trump posted on </span><a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114695595047194931" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">Truth Social</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> on Monday evening.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Earlier in the day, Trump dismissed a question from a reporter on Carlson’s concerns.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">“I don’t know what Tucker Carlson is saying. Let him go get a television network and say it so that people listen,” said Trump, appearing to jab at Carlson over his exit from Fox News. Carlson now runs his own media business, the Tucker Carlson Network, and hosts a popular interview podcast.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Trump’s support for Israel and his Middle East policy appears to have alienated Carlson, as well as other isolationist-minded supporters. The comic Dave Smith recently called for Trump’s impeachment over the president’s handling of Iran.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">“I supported him this last year. I apologize for doing so. It was a bad calculation. At the time, it seemed like the right one, but he should be impeached and removed for this one,” Smith </span><a href="https://x.com/krystalball/status/1934628084390543399" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">said</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> on a recent episode of “Breaking Points.” “All of his supporters should turn on him. It’s the absolute betrayal of everything that he ran and campaigned on and everything that he stood for.”</span></p>
