President Donald Trump used his Truth Social platform to deliver a blistering rebuke of former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and former intelligence official Joe Kent, questioning which of the two was dumber and branding both men as political losers.
.
According to The Daily Wire, President Trump opened his post with a pointed challenge to his followers: Whos dumber, Tucker Carlson or Joe Kent? Its very interesting! He then turned his focus to Kent, recounting their first meeting at Dover Air Force Base during the dignified transfer of Kents late wife, who was killed by Iranian terror proxies in Syria, and using that history to underscore what he now views as Kents ingratitude.
Her casket was being brought to Dover, along with the rest, although he married again, quite quickly, in my opinion, Trump wrote, before pivoting to Kents failed political ambitions. In any event, a number of years later, I noticed the same person was running for Congress in Washington State, and lost. I then noticed a couple of years later, he was running again, and lost.
From there, President Trump explained that Kents personal tragedy and repeated electoral defeats had moved him to intervene on Kents behalf, despite the latters lack of success at the ballot box. I told my people, Hire him for the White House. Give him a job, make him feel good, he lost his wife and two Elections. They did so and, while I rarely saw him, I certainly didnt expect disloyalty, but thats what I got, Trump added.
He was really a SLEAZEBAG, and some would say, on top of it all, A LEAKER! the president continued, making clear that in his view, Kent had repaid generosity with betrayal. Trump then signaled a harder line going forward, declaring, NO MORE MR. NICE GUY! as he vowed to stop elevating people out of sympathy rather than proven loyalty and competence.
Casting a wider net, President Trump grouped Kent with a number of conservative media figures who have recently turned critical of him, dismissing them as inherently deficient. Kent is a LOSER, just like Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and the rest of them are LOSERS Youre born that way, LOW IQ, and theres not a damn thing theyre going to be able to do about it! he wrote, underscoring his belief that character and judgment, not credentials, define a persons reliability.
Kent, who recently resigned as director of the National Counterterrorism Center, has claimed his departure stemmed from disagreements over the Trump administrations Iran policy and alleged that the United States was acting in Israels interest. His public break with the administration and subsequent criticism place him squarely in the camp of disaffected insiders whose narratives are now being challenged head-on by a president determined to prioritize loyalty, America-first policy, and a tougher vetting of those seeking power within his orbit.
