Trump sharpens public criticism of Candace Owens over Brigitte Macron claims

President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Friday to deliver his most pointed public rebuke yet of commentator Candace Owens, calling her claims about French First Lady Brigitte Macron "despicable" and sharing a mocked-up Time magazine cover labeling Owens "Vile Person of the Year."

The post marks a sharp new chapter in a dispute that has been building for more than a year between the president and the 36-year-old right-wing commentator, one that now runs through a Delaware courtroom, a French presidential family, and a widening fracture on the American right.

Trump did not mince words. In his Truth Social post, as the Daily Mail reported, the president wrote that Owens' "stock, which was never very high, has fallen a long way." He added:

"Her attack on the First Lady of France is despicable. I believe, in this case, without verification, she is an extremely low IQ individual!"
