\n\tDonald Trump and cable news host-turned-MAGA-sphere player Tucker Carlson have entered an escalating confrontation, with the president calling his onetime Fox News star a \u201cidiot\u201d after the staunchly conservative commentator implied Trump is pushing the conflict with Iran toward nuclear war \u2014 and even suggested he could be the Antichrist.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a recent call with the Recent York Post<\/em><\/a>, Trump pushed back on Carlson after the pundit criticized the president\u2019s profanity-laced and threatening Easter morning social media post, during which he warned he could level bridges and power plants in Iran and raged over the continuing closure of the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cTucker\u2019s a low-IQ one that has absolutely no idea what\u2019s happening,\u201d the president told the tabloid. \u201cHe calls me on a regular basis; I don\u2019t reply to his calls. I don\u2019t take care of him. I like coping with smart people, not fools.\u201d<\/p>\n

Desecrating Easter was step one toward nuclear war. Christians need to know where Trump is taking us.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) April 6, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

\n\tOn Monday\u2019s episode of his video podcast<\/a>, Carlson \u2014 now a commanding voice in the net conservative media landscape, with 21 million followers across X and YouTube combined as of late 2025 \u2014 laid into Trump over the Easter post,<\/a> chastising the president for using foul language and threatening mass violence on a day when Christians rejoice and reflect on the lifetime of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn his Truth Social post on Sunday morning, Trump repeated his threat to strike Iran\u2019s energy infrastructure if the country doesn’t reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a key passage through which roughly 20 percent of the world\u2019s oil supply passes.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAn entire civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don\u2019t want that to occur, however it probably will,\u201d the president wrote. \u201cNevertheless, now that we’ve complete and total regime change, where different, smarter, and fewer radicalized minds prevail, possibly something revolutionary can occur. Who knows?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe’ll discover tonight \u2014 some of the vital moments within the long and complicated history of the world. Forty-seven years of extortion, corruption, and death will finally end. God bless the nice people of Iran!\u201d Trump added, before warning the country to \u201copen the f\u2014ing strait, you crazy bastards, otherwise you\u2019ll be living in hell \u2014 just watch! Praise be to Allah.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCarlson\u2019s response on his popular web show was pointed and extensive. Calling the post \u201cvile on every level,\u201d he criticized each the substance and timing of Trump\u2019s message, questioned the scope of presidential authority implied within the threat, and segued right into a dark theory that the president might be the Antichrist.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHow dare you speak that way on Easter morning to the country?\u201d Carlson said. \u201cWho do you think that you might be? You\u2019re tweeting out that word on Easter morning.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFrom there, Carlson\u2019s critique of Trump\u2019s language gave technique to a more speculative argument invoking Christian eschatology, during which the Antichrist is described as a deceptive political figure who ushers in global upheaval.<\/p>\n

\n\tCarlson also urged White House staff and other government officials to resign fairly than perform orders they view as illegal or dangerous.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThose people who find themselves in direct contact with the president have to say, \u2018No, I\u2019ll resign. I\u2019ll do whatever I can legally to stop this, because that is insane. Should you give the order, I\u2019m not carrying it out. Work out the codes on the football yourself,\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe religious framing echoes revelations from the Dominion Voting Systems defamation lawsuit against Fox News, during which filings showed Carlson privately texted in 2021 that he \u201cpassionately\u201d hated Trump and described him as a \u201cdemonic force\u201d \u2014 a glimpse of tensions that predated their current public rift.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 2 appeared to reconcile in 2023, when Trump defended Carlson following his ouster from Fox News and selected to take a seat for an interview on Carlson\u2019s web show fairly than take part in a primary debate.<\/p>\n

\n\tMore recently, Carlson has emerged as a contrarian voice throughout the MAGA sphere, at times breaking with Trump while aligning himself with figures comparable to Candace Owens and Megyn Kelly.<\/p>\n

\n\tSpeaking of Kelly, it looks as if Trump can a minimum of still count on her support, despite their very own on-off feuding. This week, she told her audience that there may be little the president could do to make her vote for a Democrat.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI mean, truthfully, Trump could drop a nuke and I\u2019d still vote Republican over those people,\u201d Kelly quipped<\/a> on her show.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
