President Donald Trump slammed right-wing commentators Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson over their opposition to the war in Iran, saying he embodies the MAGA movement, not them.
Speaking to The Inner Circle's Rachael Bade, Trump said "I think that MAGA is Trump, MAGA's not the other two."
"MAGA wants to see our country thrive and be safe. And MAGA loves what I'm doing, every aspect of it," Trump added, claiming that the war is a "detour that we have to take in order to keep our country safe and keep other countries safe."
He went on to take aim at Kelly specifically, saying she should "study her history book a little bit."
"Megan was opposed to me for years when I ran the first time and nothing stopped me," Trump stated. "And so, you know, some people are against — and they always come back. She came all the way back. But now I guess she maybe doesn't like the idea of this war, but I do because I have to keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of the Iranians," Trump said.
Kelly has criticized the attacks, and on Monday hosted former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has repeatedly slammed the Trump administration over different issues, including the Epstein files and, most recently, the war.
Greene questioned Trump's mental state, claiming that the fact he has said he doesn't think he's going to heaven may not lead him to make decisions with the common good in mind.
"What's on his mind? What's his mental state? If he doesn't think he's going to heaven, and he's toward the end of his life, how does that pan out for the rest of us when we have a president of the United States who is convinced he's not going to heaven? What does that mean his decision making is?" Greene said.
Elsewhere in the interview, Trump took aim at Carlson, who according to a recent report visited the White House three times to lobby against the war. He then called the attacks "evil," but Trump dismissed them, saying Carlson "can say whatever he wants; it has no impact on me."
