Donald Trump Roasts Tucker Carlson's Breakaway MAGA Party

The president hit out at the longtime conservative commentator, who recently said he would no longer support the Republican Party.

Former Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene lambasted Donald Trump on social media, accusing him of being thin-skinned and straying from his MAGA ideals after his criticism of her involvement in a new political group led by Tucker Carlson. Carlson, a conservative commentator and former Fox News host, recently announced plans to launch a third party.

In a recent meeting at his home, Carlson reportedly urged several Republicans, including Thomas Massie and Greene, to run for president in 2028. Trump responded to a post from Truth Social, mocking Carlson's political prospects and the members of the breakaway MAGA faction. Greene labeled Trump a "Neocon puppet," "not a Christian at all," an "internet troll," and a "false little god," and alleged that Trump's dislike for her and Massie stemmed from their support for releasing the Epstein files.

Trump himself attacked Carlson in a social media post, questioning his political abilities and suggesting the third-party candidate would be a "loser." Greene vowed to pray for Trump's humility and repentance, emphasizing her commitment to the "America First" movement.
