‘Trump hates women he can’t control’: MTG claps back over president’s latest ‘low IQ’ attack on Candace Owens

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene fired back at President Donald Trump over his latest “low IQ” attack on Candace Owens, accusing the commander in chief of “hating women he can’t control.”

The backlash followed Friday after Trump shared a doctored Time magazine cover on Truth Social, labeling Owens, a conspiracy-minded conservative, the “Vile Person of the Year,” while calling her attack on France’s first lady “despicable” and adding, “I believe, in this case, without verification, she is an extremely low IQ individual.”

Hours later, Greene, who resigned from Congress in January after a falling out with Trump, addressed the post on X, writing, “President Trump hates women he can’t control, who don’t worship him, women who actually worship God, and are much more intelligent than he is. Women like @RealCandaceO.”

Greene accused him of echoing far-right activist Laura Loomer’s influence and criticized him for targeting Owens and political commentator Megyn Kelly while refusing to support victims of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and labeling allies who do as traitors.

The remarks come amid a pattern in which Trump has recently attacked prominent conservative figures - many of them women - who have broken with him, including repeatedly calling critics like Kelly and Owens “low IQ,” “nut jobs” and “losers” on Truth Social.

“Also the only people in his cabinet that he’s either fired or privately told to leave are women, Christi (sic) Noem, Pam Bondi, and Lori Chavez DeReemer,” Greene added. “He appointed Elise Stefanik as ambassador of the UN then took it away without a care even after all she did to support him just because Johnson told him too.”

“No matter what you think about any of us women as we are all different from each other, whether you like us or not, one thing is incredibly clear, Trump hates women,” Greene continued. “And posts like this one is going to turn the majority of women in America against him.”

Like Owens and Greene, Kelly, once an ally who endorsed Trump in 2024, has since become a vocal critic, particularly over his handling of the 2026 Iran conflict, prompting Trump to publicly question her alignment with the MAGA movement.

While some of his most personal attacks have targeted female commentators, Trump has also gone after other prominent MAGA-aligned figures like conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson and far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

Earlier this month, Trump escalated the conflict by blasting Carlson, Kelly, Owens and Jones in a single Truth Social post amid growing criticism of his Iran policy, including calls from Owens and Jones for his removal from office.

“They have one thing in common, Low IQs,” Trump said of the four media figures. “They’re stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too!”
