A prominent conservative voice is calling out the president, and she is not holding back. One of Donald Trump’s most notable former supporters has gone public with a scathing assessment of his leadership, targeting a decision that she believes made him look foolish on the world stage.
Megyn Kelly slams Donald Trump as ‘weak’
Conservative television host Megyn Kelly condemned President Donald Trump as “gullible” and “weak” over the ongoing war with Iran in an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored.
Kelly, a former Fox News anchor who endorsed Trump ahead of his 2024 re-election, accused Trump of falling “hook, line, and sinker” for claims made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. She questioned why Trump allowed Netanyahu to sit as an equal in the American situation room.
“What led him to sit there and buy what that guy was selling hook, line, and sinker when every other president was able to see through that liar?” Kelly asked.
“I don’t know why he was too weak to say no,” she continued. “He was too gullible to see through the lies. One way or another, he allowed himself to be pushed into this insane conflict.”
Joint strikes by Israel and the U.S. began on February 28, targeting Iran and killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Kelly pushed back on Trump’s claim that the U.S. had achieved regime change in Iran.
“No, we didn’t. It’s the same regime, just different players. There isn’t somebody more moderate in there at all,” Kelly said. She noted that Khamenei’s 56-year-old son had assumed leadership, adding that “the Iranian Revolutionary Guard is in control now, which is far more radical.”
Kelly also alleged that Trump was concealing true casualty figures. The official death toll stands at 13 U.S. service members, with over 300 reported injuries.
She further criticised Trump’s social media threat to wipe out an entire civilization, calling it “completely irresponsible and disgusting.” Kelly said, “You don’t threaten to wipe out an entire civilization. We’re talking about civilians.”
She attributed Trump’s position to the influence of Netanyahu, Senator Lindsey Graham, and conservative commentator Mark Levin.
