Donald Trump appears to have once again “broken up” with Tucker Carlson.
The president and the former Fox News host have had an up-and-down relationship in recent years, with Carlson mostly supporting the MAGA agenda during Trump’s first term, before he was once quoted in an email stating that he hates Trump “with a passion.” The two later hugged it out at Mar-a-Lago, and Carlson even spoke at the Republican convention in 2024.
Relations between the two men have been less than cordial of late, with Carlson strongly opposing the war in Iran and making frequent insinuations about Israel, including in a long recent interview with Trump’s ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee.
Now, in the wake of the Iran ceasefire, Trump has lashed out at Carlson, after Carlson criticized his threats to Iran, and implied that Trump was planning a nuclear attack.

In an interview with the New York Post, Trump ripped his former friend.
President Trump went off on Carlson when I asked him about this nonsense this morning.
“Tucker’s a low IQ person that has absolutely no idea what’s going on. He calls me all the time; I don’t respond to his calls. I don’t deal with him. I like dealing with smart people, not… https://t.co/xHDL5QkuCE

“Tucker’s a low IQ person that has absolutely no idea what’s going on,” Trump told the Post. “He calls me all the time; I don’t respond to his calls. I don’t deal with him. I like dealing with smart people, not fools.”
Carlson had been critical of Trump’s threats to Iran, especially when they were delivered on Easter Sunday.
“How dare you speak that way on Easter morning to the country?” Carlson said on his online show, per the Post. “Who do you think you are? You’re tweeting out the f-word on Easter morning.” Carlson also called on White House staffers and others to refuse a trump order for a nuclear attack.
“Those people who are in direct contact with the President need to say, ‘no, I’ll resign. I’ll do whatever I can do legally to stop this, because this is insane, and if you give the order, I’m not carrying it out. Figure out the codes on the football yourself,’” Carlson said.
