Donald Trump was able to bring the attention back to his campaign after boasting one billion listeners to his interview with Elon Musk on his social media platform X.
During the interview, the two discussed every issue imaginable from inflation, to the border, and all the way over to the attempted assassination.
And Donald Trump was furious when Megyn Kelly decided to reignite their feud by lobbing these three nasty insults.
Megyn Kelly and Donald Trump share a long history
Former President Donald Trump and former Fox News host Megyn Kelly have had a seriously complicated relationship over the last decade.
Kelly had formerly worked as a host at Fox News from 2004 to 2017.
But it was her attempt to battle Trump during the 2015 Republican Presidential primary debate that sowed the seeds of trouble, causing their relationship to sour.
During the 2015 debate, Kelly tried to surprise Trump with a dig about his previous comments towards women, using terms like “fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals.”
Despite her efforts, Trump gave a masterclass on debating by stealing the crowd through humor, arguing that he was only referring to so-called comedian Rosie O’Donnell.
While the attack turned into a favorability boost for Trump, her attempted sneak-attack annoyed Trump enough for him to boycott Fox News for a significant period of time.
Trump would then go on to reject the invitation to a debate hosted by Fox Business just before the 2016 Iowa GOP Caucus once Megyn Kelly was announced to be the moderator.
When Kelly ultimately left Fox News in 2017, she took her beef with Trump with her.
This feud only came to a conclusion when Trump agreed to an interview with Kelly on her popular podcast last year.
“All that nonsense between us is under the bridge,” Kelly claimed following her interview. “He could not have been more magnanimous.”
Megyn Kelly reignites her beef with Donald Trump
While that previous fight between Kelly and Trump may have ended, she did not hesitate to reignite a new feud with the former President over his campaign messaging.
Trump, alongside many of his supporters, recently accused Vice President Kamala Harris of using artificial intelligence (AI) to create images of her rallies portraying larger crowd sizes.
Kelly discussed those allegations during an interview with Reason Magazine’s editor-at-large Matt Welch.
“He’s fallen in left-leaning polls, he’s fallen in right-leaning polls,” argued Kelly. “This is reality, and the Trump team needs to deal with reality if it wants to win.”
“If Trump spends more time complaining about depictions of the crowd size at Kamala Harris rallies, that’s gonna really seal the deal for him,” Welch concurred with Kelly. “That’s gonna get the swing state voters.”
Kelly shared her frustrations with Trump over focusing on, what she argues to be, a conspiracy theory about Vice President Kamala Harris.
She said that Trump’s decision to pursue this topic was “unsmart,” “dumb,” and “stupid.”
“So unsmart, so dumb!” slammed Kelly. “If you’re listening, audience, he’s [Trump] claiming that the crowds, the big crowds outside of her [Harris] airplane and elsewhere are AI-generated, and it’s just, there’s just no proof of that.”
“I mean, like, it was a conspiracy theory somebody started, there were all these other pictures from people who were actually there showing the huge… like are they all in on it?” she added.
“So stupid. Just focus on the damn border!” shouted Kelly.
Kelly then decided to repeat the fake news media talking points about the nature of Trump’s interview with Elon Musk.
She accused Trump of just “rambling” while accrediting it to an “age-related change.”
Donald Trump’s relationship with Megyn Kelly has long been complicated.
And with Kelly launching this new front of criticism against Trump, the feuding will likely return.
