Donald Trump Attacks Tucker Carlson and GOP Allies Over Beef Policy

President Donald Trump launched a series of attacks on Truth Social on August 22, 2026, targeting conservative commentator Tucker Carlson and Representatives Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene. The escalation followed a meeting between the three, prompting Trump to label them "THREE LOSERS" and "LOSERS ALL!"

Trump specifically targeted Carlson's intelligence and political relevance, calling him a "very Low I.Q. individual" and suggesting he take a cognitive test before seeking office. He described Massie as a "failed politician" and a "real JERK," while labeling Greene a "traitor" and a "liberal fool," claiming her popularity in Georgia declined after he withdrew his endorsement.

The conflict stems from GOP opposition to an administration policy allowing the import of up to 300,000 metric tons of ground beef without out-of-quota tariffs over 90 days to reduce grocery costs. Massie condemned the move as a "slap in the face to American cattlemen," while Greene accused Trump of being a "neocon puppet" who betrayed America First principles. Other Republicans, including Senator Tim Sheehy and Representative Kat Cammack, also opposed the policy, citing potential harm to American ranchers.
