Owens, for her part, went so far as to demand that the 25th Amendment be invoked to remove Trump from power.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his Truth Social post, Trump wrote of the four, &#8220;They\u2019re not &#8216;MAGA,&#8217; they\u2019re losers, just trying to latch on to MAGA.&#8221; Speaking on Friday&#8217;s edition of &#8220;Morning Joe,&#8221; The Dispatch Senior Writer David Drucker took issue with Trump&#8217;s selective outrage against his more divisive, on-again, off-again supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s all personal, right? He didn&#8217;t criticize Owens or Tucker Carlson or Megyn Kelly for stoking antisemitism, for being antisemitic in Owens&#8217; case for sure,&#8221; Drucker observed. &#8220;It&#8217;s all because they&#8217;re angry at him. It&#8217;s all because they&#8217;re criticizing him.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s brought figures like this along with him and he&#8217;s accommodated their sometimes very outlandish, wacky views and never said that it wasn&#8217;t welcome within the party,&#8221; Drucker added. &#8220;But when they turn on him, now they&#8217;re idiots who are not welcome in the party.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can watch the full &#8220;Morning Joe&#8221; segment yourself below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-embed wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Zb_u6MlZ4kQ?si=BduISeq1K_oFqXHa\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Drucker argued that the divide between Trump and some of the Right&#8217;s biggest online podcasters and media figures has revealed that the president&#8217;s original, self-identifying MAGA supporters have never been podcast listeners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think that things have really changed politically vis-a-vis support for the war among Republican voters,&#8221; Drucker said. &#8220;I still think the president has the broad support of Republican voters and particularly voters who self-identify as MAGA. But I think one of the things we&#8217;re learning is that voters that self-identify as MAGA aren&#8217;t necessarily a podcast listener [like the ones] that were so crucial to the president&#8217;s reelection in 2024.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-the-wrap-read-more\">\n\t<div class=\"the-wrap-read-more__container\">\n\t\t<a class=\"the-wrap-read-more__image\"\n\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/creative-content\/tv-shows\/jimmy-kimmel-reacts-melania-trump-epstein-speech-video\/\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design-2026-04-09T214146.990.jpg?fit=300%2C169&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Jimmy Kimmel\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design-2026-04-09T214146.990.jpg?w=1200&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design-2026-04-09T214146.990.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design-2026-04-09T214146.990.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design-2026-04-09T214146.990.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design-2026-04-09T214146.990.jpg?resize=320%2C180&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design-2026-04-09T214146.990.jpg?resize=640%2C360&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design-2026-04-09T214146.990.jpg?resize=380%2C214&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 380w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design-2026-04-09T214146.990.jpg?resize=760%2C428&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 760w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design-2026-04-09T214146.990.jpg?resize=394%2C222&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 394w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design-2026-04-09T214146.990.jpg?resize=788%2C444&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 788w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design-2026-04-09T214146.990.jpg?resize=778%2C438&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 778w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design-2026-04-09T214146.990.jpg?resize=976%2C549&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 976w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design-2026-04-09T214146.990.jpg?resize=990%2C557&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 990w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-portal-copyright=\"TheWrap\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<div class=\"the-wrap-read-more__headline\">\n\t\t\t<strong>Read Next<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/creative-content\/tv-shows\/jimmy-kimmel-reacts-melania-trump-epstein-speech-video\/\">Jimmy Kimmel Quips Melania Trump &#039;Must Really Hate&#039; Her Husband After Epstein &#039;Plot Twist&#039; | Video<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Politico Senior Political Columnist Jonathan Martin, meanwhile, told &#8220;Morning Joe&#8221; viewers Friday that Trump is at risk of losing both extreme sides of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/media-platforms\/journalism\/morning-joe-republicans-silence-trump-iran-war-threats-ceasefire-video\/\">the Republican Party<\/a> in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The factions on the either extreme of the party, so the Alex Jones on one front, the real &#8216;winger,&#8217; as they would say \u2014 conspiratorial types \u2014 are dissatisfied with Trump because of the Iran decision,&#8221; Martin explained. &#8220;Then you&#8217;ve got the other extreme of the party, which is the pre-Trump party.
