If I Were Advising The President

April 10, 2026·30 min·3 clips

President Trump calls Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones 'low IQ' losers in a Truth Social rant.

April 11 finally arrives. The host starts with a Friday greeting, Patreon housekeeping, and a promise that the review will be filthy, funny, and cost five bucks. Then Trump takes over. A Truth Social post aimed at Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones turns into a bigger complaint about attention. The point is simple enough. The host thinks Trump is giving oxygen to people who know how to irritate him, bait a response, and then enjoy the blowback. Megyn Kelly gets a sharp jab. Her numbers talk, especially next to CNN or Ben Shapiro, gets treated as proof that attention has become the prize. That is the trap. If the president tells loyal supporters to stop listening, the host figures the true loyalists have probably tuned out already. The useful audience is somewhere else. Leftists see the attack, wonder what was said, and drift over to sample the same voices Trump wants smaller. That, to him, is a bad trade. His better move is almost boring on purpose: ignore them until the need for reaction burns out or gets dull. No grand purge required. He still likes many Trump outcomes, but he wishes the president would stop firing off this kind of blast. It is Monday morning quarterbacking, and he knows it. The post is already out. It may already be too late. Still, he keeps hoping. Hope, tomorrow, and one more Patreon pitch close the loop, with the advice left hanging: stop making enemies more interesting by yelling about them.
