In a late-night Truth Social post on Friday, President Donald Trump attacked a group of MAGA apostates who have sharply criticized his military campaign in Iran.

According to Trump, Tucker Carlson is “a very Low I.Q. individual,” while Marjorie Taylor Greene is “a highly neurotic young woman.” Meanwhile, Thomas Massie is “a failed politician, and a real JERK.”
