President Donald Trump launched a scathing social media attack against conservative commentator Tucker Carlson, Representative Thomas Massie, and former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, following a meeting at Carlson’s Maine home where the group discussed forming a breakaway political movement.
Trump’s Truth Social Tirade Targets Former Allies
The late-night post arrived after Carlson, Massie, and Greene gathered in Maine to discuss establishing a new “America First” platform. Trump specifically targeted Carlson by calling him an irrelevant, low-intelligence individual who should take a cognitive test before attempting any political run.
The post also took direct aim at Marjorie Taylor Greene, whom Trump labeled a “highly neurotic young woman” who pivoted from an ultra-conservative to a liberal fool because he refused her phone calls. Trump further dismissed Thomas Massie as a failed politician and a “real JERK” who habitually voted against legislation.
Policy Disagreements Over Beef Imports and Foreign Wars
The public fracture stems from mounting policy disagreements between the White House and the conservative figures, particularly regarding agricultural policy and foreign military involvement. Massie and Greene publicly criticized Trump’s recent decision to permit the toll-free import of up to 300,000 tons of ground beef over a 90-day period. Massie condemned the measure on X as “worse than socialism” and an insult to American cattle producers, while Trump maintained the action was necessary to lower consumer food prices.

Foreign policy also drove a wedge between the former allies. Carlson publicly split with the administration following the president’s decision to initiate a war with Iran, arguing the conflict served foreign interests at the expense of Americans.
Greene and Carlson Respond to Presidential Criticism
Marjorie Taylor Greene fired back at the president on social media, accusing him of acting like an internet troll and abandoning core movement ideals. Greene expressed regret for her past support, writing that she wished she had never backed him.
Did you know? Tucker Carlson supported Donald Trump’s bid for a second term in 2024 before breaking ties over military actions in the Middle East and shifting political alignments within the Republican party.
