Tucker Launches Full Frontal Attack on Trump – “Who Do You Think You Are?”

Tucker Launches Full Frontal Attack on Trump – “Who Do You Think You Are?”

“So if you reach the end of your conventional power, where does that leave you? Oh, with nonconventional weapons.
What’s that a euphemism for? … Nuclear weapons.”

Following a rather sermon-like critique of President Donald Trump’s “theft” of Venezuelan oil, Tucker Carlson pivoted to questioning why Trump did not place his hand on either of the Bibles his wife held by his side as he took his inaugural oath. He speculates, “Maybe it’s because he affirmatively rejects what’s inside that book” such as “limits on human behavior.”

Ten minutes into his monologue, Carlson reads the “surreal” message the president posted Sunday morning on Truth Social, which he prefaces by asking, “Who do you think you are? You’re tweeting out the f-word on Easter morning?”

The post reads:

Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F***in’ Strait, you crazy b**tards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Carlson is appalled. He says, “So, obviously, you’re mocking the religion of Iran. Okay, if you seek a religious war, that’s a good idea. But, by the way, what decent person mocks other people’s religions?”

“On every level, it is vile.”

In the video below, Carlson inexplicably concludes that Trump plans to use nuclear weapons in Iran.

So if you reach the end of your conventional power, where does that leave you? Oh, with nonconventional weapons.

What’s that a euphemism for? … Nuclear weapons.

And the effects of that hardly need to be explained. Well, they can’t be fully known because modern nuclear weapons have never been used.

But, you can just draw the obvious conclusions, like, life in Iran, not possible. So you wipe out a country of 92 million people.

His remarks grow even more absurd in the next clip where Carlson tells viewers Trump is bombing Iran because he loves “killing” people.

“That’s why we’re doing it. The thrill is in the killing.”

In the social media post below, a woman accuses Carlson of “blatantly lying about scripture.” She writes, “He claims here that the book of Esther is about Persian genocide, rather than what it actually is about — which is how God protects the Israelites from genocide against THEM.”

Unfortunately for him, the internet is forever. Following Carlson’s incendiary podcast, X users located several recordings of him making contradictory arguments, including one from last year. Before his relationship with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) imploded over his antisemitic remarks, he stated that the U.S. should use nuclear weapons on Iran if they are trying to assassinate Trump.

The two discuss Iran’s alleged attempt to kill Trump in the clip below. Carlson says, “We should attack Iran immediately if that’s true, don’t you think?”

As Cruz begins to disagree, Carlson cuts him off: “If they’re trying to assassinate our president?”

Cruz again tries to respond, but an increasingly animated Carlson presses on: “Why aren’t we at war with them? Why don’t we just nuke Tehran if they’re trying to murder our president? There’s nothing you could do that would be worse for the United States than murdering Trump. And I just don’t understand why you’re not calling for the use of nuclear weapons against the Ayatollah right now. No, I’m serious.”

Talking over Cruz’s objections, Carlson adds, “Whatever it takes. … You don’t seem to take the allegations seriously. I do. If you believe they’re trying to murder Trump, we need to stop what we’re doing and punish them.”

Hmm.

Regarding his Monday attack on Trump for “mocking” Islam, here’s what Carlson had to say about Islam in 2006: “I’m a bigot. I don’t like Islamic extremists. Like, if you are really heavily into Islam, I don’t care for you that much. And I don’t care what that sounds like — you can call me a racist.”

Maybe Trump doesn’t like Islamic extremists either.

And in a more recent recording, Carlson defended a woman who “insulted” Prophet Muhammad and lost her free speech case in a European court.

Taken together, the episode is less a coherent critique of Trump’s actions than a string of contradictions. Carlson condemns Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric while indulging in it himself. He warns of apocalyptic escalation after having previously flirted with it, and suddenly claims the moral high ground despite a record that’s at odds with it. What emerges is not principled analysis but opportunistic outrage — driven by the moment, inconsistent, and more invested in provocation than clarity.

Qatarlson is reading a script his new paymasters gave him. I’d bet that money came from Iran through Qatar.

as stated before

the iranians and the ww2 japanese have things in common like regarding their human political leadership as god

so they are willing to be sacrificed at the alter of oil

the japanese were stopped in those times version of the nuke bomb

not a pretty thing but needed to stop their commiekazzie ways

as we see with the usa blmplo armies they too are willing to sacrifice others for their cause and have been relentless in that pursuit be it

babies..born or not…children >>george floyd

all existing so that the current day “deities” could soldier on in their misery of
mansions caviar and maybachs

carry on tucker …you’ve got to serve somebody (dylan)

    The New Testament says that when someone accepts Christ as Lord and Savior, they become a new creature and old things pass away. That conversion can be seen in people. But that also means that if one accepts Allah they can also become a different creature (from a different “god”) and how! Either that or we are seeing mass demon possession of TC, Alex Jones, Owens. Dr. Michael Savage… on and on. what is going on?? This is not the TC at Charlie Kirk’s funeral… something really bad has happened. Not kidding that exorcism may be needed.

tucker was done wrong by fox

he was sacrificed so that the lawsuit>>cheating 2020 elections dominion case would be absolved

most every time Carlson spoke on his fox show …he nailed lefty ..the whole jan 6 blew up in leftys face almost 100 percent due to TC exposing dem lies

the c19 dem control was challenged by few in the publics eye as was when TC attacked Dem19 with actual Dems who disputed the lefts pr game

TC was pulling in people from the left as much as trump was and changing the narrative ,, the lefty narrative which was in complete control at the time, and his pushback was 100 percent responsible for anyyy and all hope that lefty would have to face the music

Fox news capitulated
TC and america maga suffered b/c of that

    Tucker is bitter because he got thrown under the wheels of the bus by fox. He thought he was doing what fox wanted, and then got sacrificed for it. There might be some truth to that.

    But that should be different issue from what he has morphed into since then. He could still be angry about how he got treated at fox, and not sell out to islamofascist agenda.

Remove politics from your own personal review of Carlson and his behavior. This will allow you to realize that he will simply say ANYTHING that he feels will help to fatten his wallet.

He’s a grifter, through and through.

This is the text of the post above:

I want you to understand just how dangerous this rant by Tucker is for the Trump administration

According to Tucker’s worldview Trump is not only a menace to Christianity, but also to the world. And we’ve become so used to Tucker’s rhetoric that we might skip over this…it’s the classic boiling frog analogy of how ideological creep normalizes the insane

Because that’s what he has become: increasingly unhinged and conspiratorial for a while now. He’s posting 9/11 truther documentaries…talking about demons and witchcraft…promoting people like Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes and Aleksandr Dugin

So here is where I sound the alarm because this is a 5-alarm fire: Tucker Carlson has far too much influence within the current administration. Whatever he is saying now, you can be sure he has been saying privately for years

This means that the vice president, who has refused to come out and distance himself from Tucker, actually shares some of these views. I mean, it wasn’t that long ago that JD Vance was praising Douglas Macgregor (Tucker’s favorite Kremlin geopolitical stooge) on X for his “consistent, insightful contrarian voice on the war in Ukraine”

This means that Tucker’s son, who works as Deputy Press Secretary for Vance, is possibly siphoning everything within the administration to his father

And we don’t even know how much further this goes because if Tucker was able to push his Manchurian candidate into position to be VP, there are definitely such people all over the administration. Joe Kent was just one example of these useful idiots…but there are clearly more

This is a compromised administration (just like 45 was but from a different angle) and Trump needs to take note of this and clean house immediately. These people are out there leaking and trying to undermine his wartime objectives and agenda…so what I’m saying is that this has now become a serious issue

We’re going to look back on this and wonder why we did nothing while the frog was boiling

And maybe, just maybe, a real reporter out there would go so far as to confront JD Vance about this troubling association/history with Tucker!? Does he share his mentor’s worldview? And why on earth has he not distanced himself from this unhinged lunatic?

    Why not ask Trump about his VP’s relationship with TC and whether he and other members of his administration are compromised by it.

    Hmmm… Trump demands loyalty. You could ask him whether Vance is more loyal to Trump or TC since TC attacked Trump directly.

      Tucker now is like a completely different person than the Tucker of just a few years ago – back when JD was friends with him.

      I thought Tucker was awesome back then myself.

      Today, I see him as a propagandist for radical islam.

      No clue how that happened in such a short span of time.

      In any case, I wouldn’t hold JD responsible for any of the garbage Tucker’s been spewing recently.

      Was “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” a documentary? What did they do with the real Tucker?

    It is a typically progressive and FEMALE stance that one must disassociate utterly from someone whose politics are not aligned with ones’ own.

    Tucker, deranged as he sounds, isn’t pulling Vance through the mud or into his orbit. There is absolutely zero evidence that J.D. shares any of Tucker’s lunacy.

    The deep and unrelenting political chasm we have managed to create in this country is fueled by nonsense like this, the constant demand that politicians must disavow the Current Controversy™ at the noise of the howling mob, usually the media but others as well.

TC is talking Cray Cray. IMO we should work from the premise that people are honestly expressing themselves and their beliefs when they say/write ‘X’ (within full context) and stop the nonsense that we should instead begin with the premise they really meant something else.

It’s amazing what a few million muslim dollars can do to someone like TC. Frankly someone should shove a suitcase nuke up his butt and light it off. If it takes a few 10s of thousands Qatarians then so be it.

The book of Esther is absolutely not about Persian genocide. What a maroon and his audience which probably eats up and parrots everything he says are even stupider.

Look for Owens and Kelly to repeat.

Vance call your office. You are being dragged through the gutter by your buddy.

My feelings is Tucker I’d pulling a Marxist switch, saying President Trump is going to do what Iran was going to do.
Iran was procuring nukes to hit Israel or US or both as soon as they made them.

This is actually a good sign. Tucker raises the specter of nuclear weapons and believes Trump is unhinged for suggesting it. These are exactly the thoughts Trump wants Iran to have. Trump’s playing the lunatic to make Iran think he’s prepared to use nukes against them.

Everyone sane knows this isn’t the situation. But Tucker is no longer sane, and Iran’s leadership, although possibly sane, may not be capable of putting themselves in Trump’s shoes. Iran would use nukes if it had them and needed to employ them to win a war. They may believe the the Great Satan would do the same.

    The greasy, dishonest and self-enriching Qatari prostitute, Qatarlson, has 17.8 million followers on Twitter. Nutcase, Owens, has 7.8 million.

    Those are some substantive audience numbers, that can’t be taken lightly.

      17.8 million followers on Twitter the vast majority (90%+) of which are most likely fake, spam accounts with no posts at all. And as for Owens? Most likely the same. So yeah, they probably have a large number of followers. But not the numbers reported.

    I’d vote for Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Bipolar II diagnoses myself. Such flamboyance does attract some worshippers who crave a messiah, but that percentage is dropping. At some point he will get the attention he craves from the President, and can then pivot to Martyr Mode. The Qatari cash will insulate Carlson nicely, but could well cost Vance the next Presidency.

And Tucker sounds more and more like the Grand Mufti during his visits to Berlin in the late 1930s and early 1940s before he could no longer enjoy tea with the Führer.

It seems Tucker has gone “to the dark side”. While I did not always agree totally with his opinions, I felt that in general he was being thoughtful and his ‘head was in the right place’. I have now come to the conclusion that for Tucker ‘the right place’ is up his nether regions!

Tucker Carlson has been on the dark side for a long time at this point.

I know I am a broken record here, but go to war with American history and you are an America hater.

Forget the non-Japanese Asian civilians who would have died by the millions if the bombs had not been dropped to end the war.

Forget the fact that more Americans would have fallen in the invasion of Japan than Japanese who historically fell from the bombing

Forget that the Japanese MILTIARY DEATHS (Note that is nowhere near all casualties) would have dwarfed what was actually killed by the bombing

Forget that the British and Chinese would have continued losing soldiers.

Forget that IJA personnel would have continued dying across Asia.

Forget that Russia would have ended up with a lot more afterwards due to the Russian invasion so perhaps South Korea wouldn’t exist

Forget the POWs who would have been executed on invasion day

THE IMPERIAL JAPANESE MILITARY DETERMINED TEN MILLION CIVILIAN DEATHS IN CASE OF INVASION!!!

So yes if you are a revisionist about the atomic bombing…..

I also find it interesting that Candace is an America hater to.

WW2 revisionism is by definition anti-American, there is no historical basis for rewriting any part of WW2.
