“Vile person of the year”: Candace Owens targeted by Donald Trump with doctored TIME cover, calls her “low IQ”

Donald Trump reignited his feud with Candace Owens by sharing a doctored magazine cover and calling her “low IQ.” The attack followed criticism of her remarks about Brigitte Macron. Owens responded sharply online, escalating tensions as their public dispute continues to draw attention across political and media circles.

Once again, tensions between Donald Trump and Candace Owens have erupted, this time in a very public digital clash that has garnered widespread attention. Now a controversial post on Trump’s social platform has revived their long-running feud, with sharp responses from both political and media quarters. What might have once 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 didn’t play out quietly. It opened with a provocative image and even more provocative language, putting both figures back at the centre of a growing online storm. As reactions rolled in, the exchange became one of the most talked-about political flashpoints of the week, prompting questions about tone, accountability and the limits of public discourse.

Donald Trump escalates feud with edited image and sharp remarks

In a post shared online, Donald Trump circulated a manipulated magazine-style cover targeting Owens, pairing it with a direct critique of her recent commentary. His statement read:“Candace Owens’ stock, which was never very high, has fallen a long way. Her attack on the First Lady of France is despicable. I believe, in this case, without verification, she is an extremely Low IQ individual!”The accompanying imagery of the post depicted Owens in an unflattering manner, with exaggerated claims and harsh language meant to undermine her credibility. The shift from verbal criticism to visual satire was a stunning escalation, clearly intended to provoke.This is not the first time Trump has taken aim at Owens. Earlier in April, he broadened his criticism to include several media personalities, stating:I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years, especially by the fact that they think it is wonderful for Iran, the Number One State Sponsor of Terror, to have a Nuclear Weapon — Because they have one thing in common, Low IQs. They’re stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too!Owens did not stay silent. Responding on social media, she fired back with a brief but pointed remark, “It may be time to put Grandpa up in a home.”The clash comes amid a separate controversy involving Owens’ claims about Brigitte Macron, which has already triggered legal action from France’s leadership. As both figures continue to trade public blows, the episode underscores how quickly political disagreements can escalate into deeply personal confrontations in the digital age. Go to Source
