Original article: “Lunático genocida”: Referentes conservadores de MAGA dan la espalda a Trump y este se desquicia nuevamente Trump Loses Control Again Amid Criticism from MAGA Allies On April 9, President Donald Trump unleashed a barrage of insults directed at four prominent conservative commentators who dared to criticize his ongoing conflict with Iran. According to BBC Mundo, Trump took to Truth Social to label Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones as «stupid people» and «losers. » This outburst marks an unprecedented rift within the MAGA coalition, coinciding with some of the harshest critiques Trump has faced from the far-right.
«Lunatic Genocidaire»: Ex-Allies Respond Forcefully The individuals targeted reacted with sharp rebuttals. ElDiario. es reported on April 9 that Candace Owens called for «invoking the 25th Amendment» against Trump, labeling him a «lunatic genocidaire.
» Meanwhile, Alex Jones condemned Trump’s «war crimes» in light of his threats to annihilate «an entire civilization» in Iran. Tucker Carlson, a former Fox News star fired in 2023, remarked that he felt «sorry for him. » All had previously supported Trump in 2024, but are now accusing him of betraying the «America First» agenda.
Although the White House claimed to be seeking a diplomatic resolution, reality told a different story. The Guardian reported on Sunday, April 12, that Vice President JD Vance confirmed the failure of peace talks with Iran in Pakistan. Vance stated that he had spoken to Trump «half a dozen times» during the crisis, although the president seemed focused on other priorities.
That same evening, Trump attended a UFC event in Miami alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio. According to The Guardian, the president entered the Kaseya Center shortly after 9 PM, surrounded by his children Ivanka, Tiffany, and Donald Jr. , as well as UFC President Dana White.
While Kid Rock’s music played, Trump shook hands and smiled for the cameras, seemingly unconcerned with the diplomatic collapse in the Middle East. In the octagon, Trump was reportedly «stunned» by a particularly bloody fight between Josh Hokit and Curtis Blaydes. Outside, Vance explained to reporters that Iran was refusing to make concessions.
The image of the president watching fights while peace efforts faltered did not go unnoticed by his own far-right critics, who accused him of prioritizing spectacle over national security. The Cost of Internal Strain Trump attempted to regain control by defining who the true MAGA supporters are. «They are not MAGA followers; they are losers trying to jump on the bandwagon,» he wrote.
However, evidence tells a different story: Carlson campaigned with Trump in 2024 and was invited to the White House. Even CNN aired a montage featuring Trump’s past praises for the very commentators he now insults. The division is real and profound.
Dana White, a key ally of Trump, announced that the president has requested to add a special fight to the June 14 event at the White House, celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States. However, while Trump organizes these fights, his former media allies are digging their own trenches. The war against Iran is not only splitting Washington; it is tearing at the very heart of Trumpism, exposing its deepest contradictions between isolationism and imperialism.
