In launching his attack on four conservative commentators who have been critical of the joint US-Israeli war against Iran, Donald Trump wrote that they were "stupid people" and that "nobody cares about them".
He then spent the next 372 words in a Truth Social post on Thursday afternoon talking about them.
The president singled out two former popular Fox News evening-programme hosts, Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, and right-wing conspiracy theorists Alex Jones and Candace Owens, for criticism. He ticked through each, using derisive language to highlight what he viewed as their past failings and deficiencies.
All four have vocally supported Trump in the past – and comprised part of the president's effort to court right-wing podcasters and social media influencers during his 2024 presidential campaign.
But the president wrote that their views are now the opposite of his "Make America Great Again" movement.
