Donald Trump continues to turn on anyone who speaks out against him, even allies that he hired to work with his administration.
On Thursday (April 16), the 79-year-old president dissed yet another person who has spoken out against the ongoing war in Iran, labeling them a “sleazebag” and accusing them of leaking sensitive information.
Trump went on to compare them to a multitude of other former allies that he’s turned on, labeling them all “low IQ” and “losers,” saying they were “born that way.”

The president’s latest target was Joe Kent, the former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, who resigned from his post a month ago as an act of protest against Trump‘s military action against the Middle Eastern country.
“Who’s dumber, Tucker Carlson or Joe Kent?” he started a post on Truth Social.
Continuing, he recalled his first interactions with Kent, saying, “It’s very interesting! I met Joe Kent at Dover Air Force Base, along with numerous others who had lost their loved ones in War. I said hello to all of the families. Kent, horribly, lost his wife. Her casket was being brought to Dover, along with the rest, although he married again, quite quickly, in my opinion.”
“In any event, a number of years later, I noticed the same person was running for Congress in Washington State, and lost. I then noticed a couple of years later, he was running again, and lost,” Trump said. “While I didn’t know him other than our brief Dover encounter, but feeling sorry for him after the two Election losses, I told my people, ‘Hire him for the White House. Give him a job, make him feel good, he lost his wife and two Elections,’ ” Trump alleged, adding that he still “rarely saw” Kent after he got his government job.
“I certainly didn’t expect disloyalty, but that’s what I got. He was really a SLEAZEBAG, and some would say, on top of it all, A LEAKER! I don’t know whether or not that was true, but next time, NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!” he raged. “Kent is a LOSER, just like Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and the rest of them are LOSERS — You’re born that way, LOW IQ, and there’s not a d— thing they’re going to be able to do about it!”
While announcing his decision to resign on Instagram, Kent wrote, “I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”
Trump‘s attack comes after Kent appeared on former Fox anchor Tucker Carlson‘s podcast. The president recently said that he stopped taking Carlson‘s calls after his former ally slammed a profanity laced Easter morning threat against Iran.
He has repeatedly targeted former MAGA friends for not sticking with his messaging about Iran and recent comparisons that he appears to be drawing between himself and Jesus Christ.
