Trump again fumes at former MAGA faithful in lengthy rant including ‘sleazebag’ former counterterrorism chief Joe Kent
President Donald Trump lashed out at conservative figures in a Truth Social rant on Thursday, slamming a host of former allies in the right-wing media and Joe Kent, the Trump administration counterterrorism chief who resigned in March and criticized the Iran war.
“He was really a SLEAZEBAG, and some would say, on top of it all, A LEAKER!” Trump wrote. “I don’t know whether or not that was true, but next time, NO MORE MR. NICE GUY! Kent is a LOSER, just like Tucker [Carlson], Candace [Owens], Megyn [Kelly] and the rest of them are LOSERS.”
In his post, President Trump claimed he gave Kent the job leading the National Counterterrorism Center in sympathy, after the former special forces operative was defeated in multiple congressional campaigns and lost his wife to an ISIS attack in Syria.
Trump wrote on Truth Social that he met Kent at the dignified transfer ceremony at a military base in Delaware in which her remains were returned to the U.S.
“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 wrote. “They did so and, while I rarely saw him, I certainly didn’t expect disloyalty, but that’s what I got.”
Trump also attacked the right-wing broadcasters last week in a similar rant, writing, “They think it is wonderful for Iran, the Number One State Sponsor of Terror, to have a Nuclear Weapon — Because they have one thing in common, Low IQs.”
