Now that the world is experiencing a much sought-after ceasefire in Iran, Donald Trump is back to making the kind of attacks he’s more experienced in: verbal onslaughts to the media. This time, however, he’s hitting back at former allies, and Marjorie Taylor Greene has dismissed him as “mad.”
At this point, the most common criticisms laid at Trump’s doorstep are that he’s no longer “America First” or that he’s becoming mentally unstable. Greene is perhaps the first to suggest the issue might be both. While the former congresswoman was among the first to jump ship from MAGA, the war ensured she wasn’t the last. And while Trump is scrambling to swing at everyone, even Truth Social has stopped being a safe haven for him, as the platform that was built to create a MAGA microclimate is now calling his latest rant despicable.
Trump took to the platform to call conservative commentators who turned on him after the Iran attacks went awry “low IQ” individuals. He singled people out one by one: calling Tucker Carlson a “college dropout” who needs a good psychiatrist, bringing up Alex Jones’ bankruptcy, saying he hoped the same would happen to Candace Owens over misinformation, and once again referring to Megyn Kelly as “nasty.”
President Trump has gone mad as he wages war against Iran, a broken campaign promise.

I fought alongside Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones to help get Trump elected.
And now he goes off on a rambling rant attacking all of us in one post.

Greene fired back simply: “We NEVER changed, Trump did.” Most Trump critics might struggle to pinpoint what exactly has changed, but for MAGA, abandoning “forever wars” in favor of bringing back jobs was central to his appeal. Trump, however, ended his tirade by reiterating that he won in Iran and still has 100% support from MAGA. That “truth,” it seems, couldn’t even pass the internal lie detector of Truth Social users.
Critics were quick to highlight the backlash in his own comment sections. One user said Trump should look within, adding that voices like Carlson and Candace were the reason they became a “triple Trumper” in the first place. Another simply wrote, “LOST MY SUPPORT.” Others openly questioned what was wrong with him, and the criticism kept piling up.

The administration can spin whatever narrative it wants, but even his base can see that the Iranian regime withstood the attacks and is still making demands. They can see that the conflict pushed global gas prices up. And perhaps most importantly, they can see that Trump failed to rally traditional U.S. allies the way his predecessors often did. These are the cracks now splitting his base down the middle.
As one Truth Social user pointed out, these conservative commentators were a big part of why many supporters saw Trump as a viable candidate in the first place. Now, he’s losing them too — just as he’s lost other allies along the way. With the midterms approaching, there’s a real possibility he could lose his carte blanche with Congress. Greene may have been the one to spark this conservative break from Trump, and it increasingly looks like he underestimated her influence.
If Trump intends to win his base back, talking down to them as if their entire worldview is shaped by Truth Social may no longer be a viable strategy.
