>Tucker Carlson says Trump is ‘not capable’ and hasn’t kept his promises
Fox News Channel host Tucker Carlson set straight any misinformation concerning his views on President Trump: “I don’t think he’s capable,” he said during an interview on Tuesday.
Urs Gehriger, an editor at “Die Weltwoche,” Switzerland’s leading German-language opinion weekly, noted that Carlson’s new book, “Ship of Fools,” is silent on Trump but comments on his critics. And so, Gehriger jump-started the conversation by asking what Carlson thought of Trump’s first two years in office.
Carlson said he cannot stand Trump’s self-aggrandizement and boasting. Then, when asked whether Trump has kept his promises, the usually quick-witted and long-winded Carlson had just one word: “No.”
Although it has a variety of voices, Fox News Channel has become the outlet often aligned with the current administration, at least in prime time.
Hosts such as Sean Hannity and Jeanine Pirro have taken near-unequivocal positions in support of Trump and against “the liberal left.” Hannity has even joined Trump on the campaign stage.
Though often a measured Trump supporter, Tuesday’s interview was not Carlson’s first verbal-lashing of the president; he called Trump’s attacks on then-attorney general Jeff Sessions, following his recusal from the Russia investigation, a “useless, self-destructive act.”
This week, he continued to disparage the president when Gehriger probed for more.
“His chief promises were that he would build the wall, defund Planned Parenthood and repeal Obamacare, and he hasn’t done any of those things,” Carlson said, adding that those goals were probably lost causes. Trump, he said, doesn’t understand the system, and his own agencies don’t support him.
“He knows very little about the legislative process, hasn’t learned anything, hasn’t surrounded himself with people that can get it done, hasn’t done all the things you need to do, so it’s mostly his fault that he hasn’t achieved those things,” he added.
He has come to believe that Trump’s role is not as a conventional president who promises to achieve certain things and then does. Instead, it’s to “begin the conversation about what actually matters.”
For the Fox News host, that issue is immigration.
The Washington Post’s Philip Bump previously reported that since taking over the prime-time slot left vacant by Greta Van Susteren when she departed the network shortly before the 2016 election, Carlson has been “a fervent advocate for Trump’s hard-right position on immigration.”
The interview, which ran 45 minutes past its allotted time, covered wide-ranging discussion points, some as striking as Carlson’s outspoken comments about the president.
For starters, he called Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and her socialist group “the future.” He also criticized the Republican Party, suggesting that it “will die” if it doesn’t begin to fairly represent middle-class American voters.
“The elite in our country is physically separated in a way that’s very unhealthy for a democracy,” he said. Rural America is “really falling apart,” he said, adding that “if you’re running the country, you should have a sense of that."
Gehriger said Carlson sounded like a “renegade.”
“He was so tough” on Trump, he told The Post. “He was nobody’s cheerleader. For a person who is so successful on Fox News, I didn’t expect him to be so outspoken."
Tucker is right. The Republican Party is likely dead and our options are quickly becoming which socialist do you want.
Dylan Edwards
Oh look!! It's the hourly hate Tucker thread because he has high ratings and nobody is watching leftist media.
Evan Edwards
Tucker is right and he knows the future of the right will be a soft version of National Socialism if they want to be successful
Luke Jones
He's right. Trump was basically a Hail Mary, but it was likely too little too late. The US will either become a 3rd world shithole or a fascist state. Either way once whites hit
Brandon Bennett
Based. Now go forth and inform all the MAGApedes still left on this board that we're NatSoc now and reject TRUMP and his Judaized followers!
David Jones
Reminder only newfag redditors worship Carlson and hes a typical Fox Jews talking head shill. Watch as he freaks out at someone making the accurate parallels from female to male genital mutilation, and watch as Cucker scrambles to defend his jewish masters blood ritual.
That Tucker is sticking with the prevailing nationalist narrative and isn't cucking for Trump like the civcucks and boomer-tier Hannity/Ingraham listeners is a GOOD sign. Tucker is a national socialist, we all already knew that for at least a year now. Where the fuck have you been? >Trump was basically a Hail Mary, but it was likely too little too late. Too little too late for what? Do you think Trump was meant to save conservatism? No, bud, he was "thrown" in order to kill it. And what a killshot it was.
>“His chief promises were that he would build the wall, defund Planned Parenthood and repeal Obamacare, and he hasn’t done any of those things,”
i don't oppose the wall, but it's not the most important thing. you could easily crack down on migrants using other means. like drones at the border or cracking down on people that over stayed their visas
John Clark
WELL, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO HIDE HIS OBVIOUS INCOMPETENCE ANYMORE, I DON'T BLAME TUCKER.

no TPP iran nuclear deal scrapped 16% of federal judges confirmed and replaced in under 2 years
DACA and Obamacare are black eyes but overall he is doing the best he can.
So many Obama appointees slow walking everything, Mueller probe undermining everything he does domestically and internationally, media 92% negative coverage,etc.

Nathan Rogers
Carlson 2020, bitches! Agree with him 100%. Trump fooled us all.
Did he cackle like a douchebag after reading this out loud?
Oliver Jones
>He fucking failed miserably at picking a team
The problem is that he needed to fill dozens of positions and none of the people who share trump's philosophy have any experience, so he relied on Pence and Priebus to help him select his administration. Pence and Priebus recommended a bunch of Republican hacks who disagree with half of Trump's agenda. This is how we ended up with fuckers like John Bolton in the White House. I suspect that Pence is mostly to blame.
William Robinson
this why cant people see shit for what it is? trump is the last spit in the face to whites in america that they would vote for a man that is completely against their interests
Kevin Cooper
>iran nuclear deal scrapped
This benefits nobody except the Israel lobby. It was one of the only things Obama got right.
Nathaniel Cruz
Based fucking tuck
Noah Peterson
Tucker is right and all of you fucking retards elected an opportunistic used car salesman that was able to exploit your insecurities better than any actual politician. When all is said and done Trump's only real accomplishment will have been to have destroyed conservatism in the US.
why do boomers think trump is some dumbass who doesnt know what the fuck is up? he knew who the fuck bolton was and he still hired him just accept that kikes spit in your face one last time trump never wanted to help this country

Nolan Kelly
>You are lucky to have Trump >we are lucky to have a zionist president for the 45th time please kys nigger
His opinions are pretty clear if you read his book.
He thinks trump is a popular revolt that only exists because the American aristocracy is to proud and ignorant to rule responsibly and that trump shouldn’t be president but because he’s and outsider he is good to call pit important questions about how the elites operate.
Tucker’s opinnion is exactly why I vote trump. He is my brick through the window of the elites
Camden Brooks
Presidents cannot unilaterally do a lot of what they campaigned on.
They need Congress and Congressional leadership, they also have to have people aligned with them in charge of various arms of the government to carry out the agenda.
This is why Democrats couldn't pass singlepayer even though they had a super majority, it is tremendously difficult with one party control to do one or two major things, let alone several.
Our government is designed that way and Trump is only one man.
Ryder Martinez

Jeremiah Robinson
2 Supreme Court seats filled with supposedly strict constitutional values. We'll see about that, but if Clinton had won we'd have another mystery meat communist and Garland probably.
Logan Sanders
I agree with Tucker. Trumps means well, and his instincts are mostly good, but he doesn't understand how Washington works and he doesn't have a fully formed ideology, so he is letting the swamp swallow him instead of the other way around.
Also, I always knew that Trump wasn't some savior, but he was a baby step in the right direction after decades of going in the wrong direction. That is still true, and its why I will still probably vote for him in 2020, even though a lot of his agenda won't get accomplished.
Kevin Torres
I actually give Trump a lot more credit but that's Tucker position.
Camden Nelson
You have to destroy the old before you can rebuild with new. Trump has done a lot of very good things. >destroyed the neocons >radicalized the democrats >put nationalism back in play >made immigration and building a wall number one in voters minds >destroyed Bush and Clinton crime family, McCain to. Those are only a few. Trump is step one and it remains to be seen how much more he can do, the less successful he is the more radical the next one will be.
Thomas Taylor
carlson is the only good one at fox news. all the neocons running it are gutless cowards too scared to hold anyone accountable because they are so caught up on OPTICS like their boomer base that they willingly agree to the left's demands to be a cartoon villain and accept defeat every time
Fuck off nu-pol, Tucker is the voice of reason on MSM
Tyler Thompson
Tucker took over Megan Kellys timeslot but perhaps she had taken over Susterens I dunno.

trump is an elite a goddamn business jew in real estate trump knows how politics work he is not a good person why do boomers think trump tried at all?
Noah Diaz
You can always have Hillary if you don't like Trump
Christian Cox
Alt-right was just a meme. An Israeli psy-op and dumb white niggers fell for it hook line and sinker.
Cameron James
Tucker is right. Trump had the opportunity for a while to rain down hellfire and death on the Globalists and blew it. Still better than Hillary, but any hope of him actually putting leftists in cattle train cars and dumping them by the train load into rock crushers is rapidly fading...
Hudson Morales
Tucker can only talk about what he's told to. There is no way he understands the concept of a "Deep State" but thinks Trump can just override them anytime he pleases. So he doesn't get the great awakening part of it all - or can't talk about it.

circinfosite.info/index.php/facts-and-myths/brain-damage/ >Circumcision Causes Brain Damage. There is evidence that circumcision creates permanent brain damage. A recent study, where a circumcision was performed on an infant in a hospital MRI chamber, showed the brain after circumcision never returned to its baseline configuration. The infant brain was permanently changed. This is why we're mutts instead of men.

From where? From my country?
Gabriel Myers
shit will not hit the fan. whites in cozy 90%+ white states will continue to vote for unchecked immigration (all of new england for example). they will fuck the rest of us. it's WAY too late, US will be a 80%+ brown shithole in 20 years. they'll all just continue to vote for more gibs until it's all gone and full socialism takes effect, or TPTB instigate another world war to take out the trash.
Owen Williams
Sessions was probably his best pick and has done a shit-ton on immigration, it's a damn shame he recused quickly when it came to Mueller.
Admins have to fill out typically from people with their party, Trump doesn't have that luxury and he doesn't have a big pool to pick from because of how he conducted his campaign.
You are basically seeing how someone has to run the country when they are not deeply embedded in a party machine.
Tucker knows that too, he's just trying to burnish his critical thought credentials.
Jayden Ramirez
>adults are trying to fix the West no you dumb 30+ year old boomers are going to get stomped on we are done playing your stupid fucking game of going from one cuck to the other sorry nigger but we are trying to save the white race not america, america has been dead since 1933 at least voting is for goyim scum
Parker Wood
There's no way in hell the insurance lobby was going to let them pass a single payer bill. Dems nor R's would be able to pass up all that lobbying money. Wasn't AMA written by an insurance company insider? Hell Pelosi didn't even read the fucking thing. But as soon as they read it they made sure to exempt themselves from it LMFAO. The next two years with Nancy should be entertaining if not frightening.
Henry Bailey
Niggers, at the top of /ptg/ there is a fucking handy-dandy link of everything that has been done since his election Fox has sold out and we went over this a month ago. We also went over why the fucking wall isn't moving quickly, because the GOP are neocon kikes and the DNC refuses to work with him. Same with everything else. Tucker is doing what it takes to keep his millions a year contract going, and niggers who are so easily swayed by faggot threads like this deserve to be deported
Brody Robinson
Sessions was actually Bannon's original go-to guy for his alt-right contingent to get behind, wayyyy back in 2014. But Sessions said he didn't have the fortitude to run a national campaign, so Bannon said he'd follow whoever Sessions endorsed. And wouldn't you know, it was Trump.
fundamentally tucker is right about Trump not getting shit done, but he's wrong that it's largely Trumps fault. For something like getting funding for the wall, there's nothing he can do, it's completely up to congress to do such a thing. If congress tells Trump to fuck off, then theres nothing Trump can do.
I'm curious what happened to the birthright citizenship stuff though. Early nov it was popular news, but Ive heard zero about it since.

Samuel King
Tucker tells it like it is on Syria, even Jimmy Dore likes him:
They're all the same at the end of the day. Shills for the capitalist class. Honestly, Sotomayor is the only truly based judge on the whole court because she's the only one working from an anti-capitalist mindset. Leftist socialism is worse than rightist socialism, but it's infinitely better than centrist capitalism/liberalism.

>Though often a measured Trump supporter, Tuesday’s interview was not Carlson’s first verbal-lashing of the president; he called Trump’s attacks on then-attorney general Jeff Sessions, following his recusal from the Russia investigation, a “useless, self-destructive act.”
Which turned out to be stupid of Tucker as it showed how Sessions was one of those people Tucker at the same time now laments could not get stuff done.
What Tucker is doing is taking up Ann Coulter's talking point which is that Trump is responsible for the legislative branch not doing as he wanted. You could see this change on Tucker's show as he started having Coulter on regularly, she'd bash Trump acting like he should be able to act as a king of of the country forcing all neocons to bend to his whim.
I blame a lot of this ire that has developed towards Trump on Ann thinking Trump could order the army corp of engineers to build the border wall, no one has been able to argue legally how they would obtain the funds for it, but petty questions like that are tossed aside because it feels nice.
Josiah Kelly
This is literally every President of my lifetime, every single one of them.
Our government is designed to work slowly and incrementally with a ton of disagreement and checks and balances.
One man cannot be a dictator or rule unilaterally outside of the power of their branch, it takes all of them working together and that's pretty tough.
Even when Obama was President, even when W was President, even when Clinton was President, even when Reagan was President.
