Trump Blasts Tucker Carlson as ‘Low IQ’ After Iran Easter Post Backlash
Donald Trump’s escalating rhetoric on Iran is now triggering backlash from one of his most prominent former allies, turning a foreign policy dispute into a public political feud.
The conflict intensified after Trump posted a profanity-filled Easter message threatening Iran’s infrastructure while invoking religious language, drawing criticism across political and media circles.
According to Reuters and People, the post warned of attacks on bridges and power plants and ended with “Praise be to Allah,” prompting backlash for blending religious phrasing with military threats.
That message became the flashpoint for Tucker Carlson, who used his show to condemn the statement as “vile” and warned it could signal support for targeting civilians in a potential escalation.
“It’s vile,” Carlson said, criticizing the tone and implications of the message.

Trump responded directly, calling Carlson a “low IQ person” and rejecting his criticism, while also distancing him from the MAGA movement, according to reporting from the New York Post.
The exchange underscores a growing divide among conservative figures over U.S. involvement in Iran, with some warning the rhetoric risks broader conflict or humanitarian consequences.
Carlson has also urged officials to resist any orders that could lead to mass civilian casualties, signaling deeper concern about where the situation could head next.
The dispute is unfolding as tensions with Iran continue to rise, with deadlines, military signals, and public messaging adding pressure on both sides.
For now, the feud shows no sign of cooling as both figures continue to escalate their positions.
