President Donald Trump dismissed Tucker Carlson as a 'low-IQ person' with 'absolutely no idea what's going on' after the commentator warned that Trump's rhetoric risked nuclear war with Iran. In a phone interview with the New York Post on Tuesday, Trump said: '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.'
The rebuke followed Carlson's X post on Monday linking to his podcast, where he described Trump's threats to bomb Iranian infrastructure as 'the first step toward nuclear war'.
