President Donald Trump is pushing back on criticism from podcasters Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, as they have denounced the ongoing military operation against Iran.
Speaking with independent journalist Rachel Bade on Monday, Trump said, “I have to do what’s right, number one — and you can’t have Iran getting a nuclear weapon. That’s predominant to me.”
From The Hill: The president said former Fox News hosts Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, both of whom have publicly broken with him over U.S. military operations in Iran, do not represent the view among his base of supporters.
“I think that MAGA is Trump — MAGA’s not the other two,” Trump said, adding of Kelly specifically that “she was critical of me for years and I didn’t lose. I won all three times by a lot.”
“MAGA wants to see our country thrive and be safe,” he continued. “And MAGA loves what I’m doing — every aspect of it. … This is a detour that we have to take in order to keep our country safe and keep other countries safe, frankly.”

DMLNewsApp founder and podcast host Dennis Michael Lynch also weighed in Tuesday morning, saying, “Trump must stay the course. Ridding of Islamic Iran means a pre-1979 secular Iran. They become our ally, no more need to spend billions protecting US & Israel from their evil. + it helps stop spread of Islam. Ignore liberal fake-MAGA bimbo, Megyn Kelly & psychotic Tucker Carlson.”
