In an episode of his podcast released Monday afternoon, Carlson suggested that Trump was considering using a weapon of mass destruction “against the population of Iran” and encouraged government officials and service members to object.
Speaking to the New York Post, Trump responded by destroying the presenter who was once his ally. “Tucker is a low-IQ person who has no idea what's going on,” said the Republican. “He calls me all the time; I don't answer his calls. I don't deal with him. I like dealing with intelligent people, not with fools.”

The presenter argued that they amounted to a “promise to use the U.S. military, our military, to destroy civilian infrastructure in another country,” which he said would constitute a
war crime.
Carlson's message aligns with calls for sedition made by Democratic legislators late last year for members of the military to reject “illegal orders” given by Trump, while U.S. forces carried out lethal attacks against narco-terrorists in the Caribbean and the Pacific and took action to arrest Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro.
Since then, relations between the two figures have deteriorated, with Carlson harshly criticizing Trump's operation in Iran and calling it “absolutely disgusting and evil”. Trump, for his part, has dismissed Carlson in recent weeks and has been responsible
for unmasking him.
“Tucker has lost his way,” Trump said in an interview he gave in March. “He's not MAGA. MAGA is to save our country. MAGA is about making our country great again. MAGA is 'America First', and Tucker is neither of those things. And Tucker really isn't smart enough to understand that.”
