Trump's hypocrisy on Joe Kent's remarriage

May 14, 2026

Tucker Carlson hits Trump for attacking Joe Kent over remarrying after Kent's wife was killed on a CIA mission, calling it hypocritical given Trump's own infidelity history.

  • Joe Kent's wife was a CIA officer killed in Syria while serving on a mission under the Trump administration.
  • Trump is now publicly criticizing Kent for remarrying years after her death.
  • Carlson frames the Syria mission as fighting on Israel's behalf, putting blame for her death on Trump's policy decision.
  • Trump famously cheated on his first wife Ivana with Marla Maples, making the attack on Kent look hypocritical.

Outlook: More friction likely between Trump and the nationalist-right wing of his base over Middle East policy and personal attacks on loyalists.
