Candace Owens fired back Friday at a Truth Social post from President Donald Trump, who attacked the intelligence of several former MAGA supporters, arguing “only a fool” would have hit send on the post.
The political commentator read Trump’s post in full on a recent episode of her podcast Candace, highlighting his claim that media figures—including herself, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly and Alex Jones, who have recently broken with him and criticized his handling of the Iran war “think it is wonderful for Iran, the Number One State Sponsor of Terror, to have a Nuclear Weapon — Because they have one thing in common, Low IQs.”
“They are stupid people. They know it. Their families know it, and everyone else knows it too,” Trump added.
“Only a fool or someone under the express direction of one could have thought to hit send on what you published on Truth Social last night,” Owens shot back.
The key MAGA-aligned figures have distanced themselves from Trump, citing disagreements over the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and his reversal of a campaign promise to avoid initiating new wars.
Owens proceeded to dissect Trump’s post, arguing that his comments reflect a “stunning break from reality,” pushing back on his claims about her and the other conservative figures he mentioned.
“It seems like you can't put together a coherent thought,” Owens spoke directly to the president.
“People will not fight beside, behind, or for someone who is fundamentally disloyal,” she continued. “If disloyalty and deceit are in your nature, then I highly suggest that you combine them with silence. You can be what you are, but I would advise you to do it quietly, Trump, because MAGA is no longer committed to you, and you know it.”
Owens accused Trump of prioritizing wealth and legacy over morality, arguing that his reputation will be defined by controversial associations and decisions.
“You belong to the Epstein class. That is your legacy,” Owens said.
The conspiracy theorist added that when people see his name on buildings or hear about his financial and political dealings, they will associate them with serious moral wrongdoing and exploitation.
“When they see it, they will think about how many children had to die or be raped by men on islands so that you could stick the Trump name upon the building, and for clarity, Mr. President, that's not my fault.”
“That's not Megyn Kelly's fault. That's not Tucker Carlson's fault,” Owens continued. “You made that trade. You chose money above respect, and what an absolute shame that you chose to do that toward the end of your life, because you can't take money and things and stuff with you when you go, just your soul, and you sold yours, for what? Another gilded ballroom?”
Meanwhile, Jones, whom Trump derided as “Bankrupt Alex Jones” over his promotion of false claims about the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, also responded to the president’s remarks Friday.
“At the end of the day, I just feel sorry for him and pray that God touch his heart and soul and free him from the demonic influences that he’s under. I mean, it’s just that simple,” he said in a video filmed from the driver’s seat of his car.
“This is a nightmare. We know that the Democrats, the left, are absolutely terrible, but when Trump’s calling for wiping out whole civilizations and acting like a super villain, I have to come out and say I don't support it. It’s that simple,” Jones added.
