Conservative political commentator Candace Owens has become the latest target of Donald Trump’s online criticism. Known for her strong support of Trump’s political stances, Owens recently found herself in the former president’s crosshairs after making comments about French First Lady Brigitte Macron and questioning Trump’s policies.
Trump’s Scathing Remarks on Truth Social
Trump took to his Truth Social network to attack Owens, calling her comments about Macron “despicable” and labeling her an “extremely low-IQ individual.” He further amplified his criticism by posting a doctored TIME magazine cover featuring an unflattering image of Owens. The mock cover included taunting blurbs such as “Candace Ownes Lies, Lies, Lies,” “Uses Rich White Men!” and “O% Fact Check Ration On All Credible Fact Checking Sites.”
This public rift follows Owens’ recent denouncement of some of Trump’s actions, including his stance on the war with Iran and his administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Owens had previously been a staunch supporter but recently referred to Trump as a “genocidal lunatic” and called for his removal via the 25th Amendment after his threats regarding Iranian civilization.
A Pattern of Public Criticism
Owens is not the only former loyal supporter to publicly criticize Trump. She joins a list that includes Megyn Kelly, Alex Jones, and Tucker Carlson, all of whom have faced Trump’s public slams. Trump has also recently targeted Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, calling him a “low-IQ individual” unfit to lead the Democratic Party or the country.
Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene weighed in on Trump’s post about Owens via X, stating, “President Trump hates women he can’t control, who don’t worship him, women who actually worship God, and are much more intelligent than he is. Women like @RealCandaceO.” Greene, who resigned from her position after a public feud with Trump, suggested the post resembled something Laura Loomer might create, implying Loomer influences Trump’s political decisions.
Reactions and Owens’ Silence
Laura Loomer responded to Greene’s claims, defending Trump and noting his female Chief of Staff and cabinet appointments. Loomer praised Trump’s post about Owens, calling her “Vile Person of the Year.” As of now, Candace Owens has not publicly responded to Trump’s latest attacks.
