President Trump has entered the fray in the ongoing conflict between Megyn Kelly and Mark Levin, both of whom are prominent figures in the world of political commentary. Trump threw his support behind Levin, whom he described as a “Great American Patriot.”
This spat has unfolded publicly on social media platform X, where Levin recently criticized Kelly, calling her “emotionally unhinged” and a “petulant wreck.” Kelly fired back with a pointed response, accusing Levin of misogyny in a particularly blunt manner.
Amidst this heated exchange, Trump took to his own platform, Truth Social, on Sunday night to express his views. While he didn’t explicitly mention Kelly by name, his message clearly sided with Levin. Trump praised Levin’s intellect and commitment to the country, suggesting that Levin was being unfairly targeted by those less capable.
In his post, Trump stated, “Mark Levin, a truly Great American Patriot, is somewhat under siege by other people with far less intellect, capability, and love for our country.”
Trump said: ‘Mark Levin, a truly Great American Patriot, is somewhat under siege by other people with far less Intellect, Capability, and Love for our Country.
‘He is a true Conservative, and Intellect, far smarter than those who criticize him but, above all, he is a man of Great Wisdom and Common Sense who truly loves our Country.
‘When you hear others unfairly attack Mark, remember that they are jealous and angry Human Beings, whose “sway” is much less than the Public understands, and will, now that they know where I stand, rapidly diminish.’
Trump’s comments come after Kelly criticized his administration for joining in with Israeli attacks on Iran in the last few weeks, something Levin has championed.

The two political commentators have been trading blows in a war of words on X after Levin called Kelly ’emotionally unhinged’
Levin branded Kelly ‘evil’ and ‘diabolical’ on Saturday after she reshared a post that said the suspect in the Michigan synagogue shooting lost his niece and nephew in an Israeli airstrike.
On Sunday he followed that up and said: ‘Poor Megyn Kelly. An emotionally unhinged, lewd, and petulant wreck. She’s completely revealed and destroyed herself.
‘She’s everything people say she is, but much worse. Never an intelligent, thoughtful, or substantive comment. Utterly toxic.’
Kelly responded: ‘Micropenis Mark thinks he has the monopoly on lewd. He tweets about me obsessively in the crudest, nastiest terms possible.
‘Literally more than some stalkers I’ve had arrested. He doesn’t like it when women like me fight back. Bc of his micropenis.’
Their spat represents a growing rift between conservative commentators which also includes Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro and Candace Owens.
After Trump’s comments on Sunday night, Levin again posted to X saying he was ‘humbled’ by his support.
He said: ‘Mr. President: I am beyond humbled by your words and graciousness in writing such a beautiful note and sharing it on Truth Social.

‘I am honored that you took the time to write it. Your courage, strength, and moral clarity are truly unparalleled.
‘And your leadership has made our country and the world much safer. Both you and what you are doing deserve our support.
‘And I will not be intimidated or bow to threats. Through your insight and steady hand, America has been made great again.
‘It is an enormous honor to know you as my family and I do and call you, Mr. President, our friend. You’re one of a kind. Truly remarkable. Please be safe and God bless.’
Kelly and Trump have in the past had their own feud which started when Trump attacked her during a debate night in 2015 as she asked questions of the candidates.
She infuriated the president with a question over his treatment of women, with Trump going on to attack her after the debate, calling her a ‘bimbo’.
In 2023 Kelly said the tension between the two was water ‘under the bridge’. While campaigning in 2024 Trump said she was making a career ‘by pretending she likes me’.
