President Donald Trump has excluded conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson from the MAGA movement following his vehement criticisms of the American-Israeli attack on Iran.
„Tucker has lost his way. I’ve known that for a long time, and he is no longer representative of MAGA. The movement is saving the country, making it great again. MAGA means America first, and Tucker doesn’t represent any of these things. Tucker is not smart enough to understand that,” Trump said, according to New York Post.
The comments came after Carlson recently referred to the attacks on Iran as "absolutely disgusting and evil."
Former Fox News host has also openly criticized the Trump administration on issues such as the Epstein files, the war in Ukraine, and many others.

Among Carlson's achievements as a former MAGA supporter are his repeated meetings with Trump at the White House and a prime-time speech at the 2024 Republican National Convention.
In addition to sending Tucker Carlson into the world of those who were once MAGA, Trump celebrated on Thursday the victory of his decision regarding Iran.
He called the operation a success and said that people "love it," although the polls have had mixed results.
"They will be decimated for a period of 10 years before they can rebuild," he stated regarding Iran.
Other anti-Trump positions
Like Tucker Carlson, former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green has taken a staunch anti-Trump stance lately, criticizing the president for how his administration handled the Epstein files and expressing outrage over the decision to attack Iran.
"The Trump administration asked in a poll how many victims voters are willing to accept in a war with Iran. ZERO, a bunch of sick liars and scoundrels," the Republican recently wrote on X. "I voted for America First and ZERO wars," she added.
She has also accused Trump of not keeping his campaign promises to avoid involvement in foreign affairs, the latest in a series of attacks against the president.
Some of Trump's supporters have criticized the attacks on Iran as primarily anti-American, while others have supported the decision to launch the military operation.
Trump did not refrain from criticizing Greene, calling her decision last year to leave Congress "excellent news" for the U.S.
