Now a controversial post on Trump’s social platform has revived their long-running feud, drawing sharp reactions from both the political and media circles. What might once have been a war of words has now become a more pointed, visual attack, adding another layer to a relationship that has been strained for some time.The latest episode did not go quietly. It started with a provocative image and even more provocative language, thrusting both figures back into the center of a growing online storm. As reactions poured in, the exchange became one of the most talked-about political issues of the week, raising questions about tone, accountability and the limits of public discussion.
Donald Trump escalates controversy with edited image and sharp comments
In a post shared online, Donald Trump circulated a manipulated magazine-style cover targeting Owens, combining it with direct criticism of her recent remarks. His statement read:“Candace Owens’s stock, which was never very high, has fallen significantly. Her attack on the First Lady of France is disgusting. I believe, in this case, without verification, that she is an extremely low IQ person!”The photos accompanying the post depicted Owens in an unflattering manner, using exaggerated claims and harsh language to undermine his credibility. The shift from verbal criticism to visual satire was a surprising development, clearly intended to provoke.This is not the first time Trump has targeted Owens. Earlier in April, he broadened his criticism to include several media personalities, saying:I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have been fighting me for years, specifically the fact that they think it’s wonderful for Iran, the number one state sponsor of terror, to have nuclear weapons – because they have one thing in common, low IQ. They’re stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it too!Owens did not remain silent. Responding on social media, he replied with a brief but pointed comment, “It’s time to keep grandpa at home.”The clash comes amid a separate dispute over Owens’ claims about Brigitte Macron, over which France’s leadership has already launched legal action. As the two figures continue to square off publicly, the episode underscores how quickly political disagreements can turn into deeply personal conflicts in the digital age.
