As ex-MAGA voices called for his removal over the Iran war, President Trump posted a bizarre Truth Social comparison ranking Candace Owens against French First Lady Brigitte Macron. The post came during the highest-stakes week of the Iran war, while Trump was weighing further military action.
“As ex-MAGA voices called for his removal over the Iran war, President Trump posted a bizarre Truth Social comparison ranking Candace Owens against French First Lady Brigitte Macron. The post came during the highest-stakes week of the Iran war, while Trump was weighing further military action.”
On April 9, 2026, while the US-Iran ceasefire was visibly falling apart, while Israel was launching Operation Eternal Darkness against Lebanon, while ex-MAGA allies were calling for Trump's removal via the 25th Amendment, the President of the United States posted a Truth Social comparison ranking Candace Owens against French First Lady Brigitte Macron.
The post attacked Candace Owens — a former MAGA commentator who had called Trump a "genocidal lunatic" over Iran — by comparing her unfavorably to Brigitte Macron. The specifics are petty. The fact that it exists at all, in that week, is the story. The Commander-in-Chief of the United States military was workshopping insults about women on a social media platform while the Pentagon was still running strike options against Iran.
The post arrived during a week in which:
- Trump had publicly threatened to kill "a whole civilization" (Iran)
- A ceasefire had been announced and was visibly breaking
- 357 Lebanese civilians had been killed in a 10-minute Israeli strike campaign
- Candace Owens, MTG, Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson were publicly calling for the 25th Amendment
- House Republicans were dodging a War Powers vote
No one's said anything yet. Be the first to drop your take.
- Melania had just blindsided him with her Epstein statement
When everyone around you is screaming about genocide and constitutional crisis, and your response is to rank women on Truth Social, you are not processing the stakes. Ex-MAGA figures have said openly that the posting behavior is itself evidence that the President is not fit for the decisions he is being asked to make. The 25th Amendment conversation did not start in a vacuum.
