Tucker is second tier talent. He can make for decent TV, but philosophically and intellectually he doesns’t rate.

Trump has kept every promise that he, as an executive, could keep. The others, of course, are harder because even the republicans have been stabbing him in the back to keep them from getting done. The criticism that Trump hasn’t “learned” how to move legislation forward or get along with people who hate him and are trying to get him impeached is kind of rich, sure, but if you look at the substance of it, that’s a criticism that could be just as easily applied to Barack Obama - who passed one major piece of legislation with only one-party support in eight years - and that piece of legislation has imploded on the American taxpayers since. The fact of the matter is we have a Congress that doesn’t do much of anything, that needs bare majorities for what used to be simple tasks such as confirming judges and is filled with human garbage like Flake that prioritizes making speeches over getting things done. Really, really hard to place the blame for that at Trump’s feet, Tucker.

Carlson is a self-absorbed, pencil-necked, bow-tied preppy boy whose TV schtick is growing tired. He’s a somewhat dumber version of Ben “Beanie” Shapiro.

He also gave the congress a chance to repeal Obamacare and McCain stabbed him in the back. Again, not Trump’s fault.

"...we won’t get another chance..."


Agreed. President Trump is truly a once-in-a-lifetime personality. We need him to succeed.
Our historic struggle is that without a wall the next Democrat POTUS will very simply turn a blind eye to the border.
Many millions of non-skilled leeches will be given the right to vote and we shall never see another Republican majority ever again.

There is no line item in the budget funding Planned Parenthood - that is an executive decision to give them funding without such a line item.

Building the wall and repealing Obamacare do indeed require Congress to pass a bill - although President Trump has done a great deal to repeal Obamacare to date since most of it was executive regulations which are being altered or eliminated. Even so, Congress did pass the repeal of the individual mandate, which was no small accomplishment. President Trump, love him or not, has kept or made a serious effort to keep every single one of his promises. Tucker Carlson is way off base.

No one, except DJT, could have made the progress he has made. He's had little help, too, except for Mitch McConnell's judicial appointments. As for "not capable'; 'revolutionary on a world-wide scale' may be a better description when all is said and done.

I won't give him total credit for destruction of the EU and the fight for freedom, but it's happening. The French shout 'Trump, Trump !" . 50,000 in Italy now have joined the protest. DJT is responsible, imho, for the nudge. His leadership has shown the rest of the world that it can be done.

Hardly not capable. And check back in a month to see what funding becomes available for the wall.

RE: Trump has a pen and could have vetoed any spending bill that did not include funding for the wall. He instead, signed bill after bill and offered some lame ass excuse that “He would not do that again”, and signs the next one that crosses his desk.

So, I gather you’re OK with SHUTTING DOWN the government before the end of the year if the money for the Wall is not allocated?


Absolutely.

Why should Trump be the one to blink each time. Shut it down and make the Republicans own it..those worthless bastards should be held accountable for the ruination of our country.

Tucker Carlson is a bed wetting coward who thinks he can be left alone by sucking up to his betters in antifa. FOX IS NOT YOUR FRIEND Dump FOX and go to One America News OAN IS what Fox used to pretend to be.

Smart TVs are cheap now and you can watch on streaming live using a smart TV.

I don’t think vetoing that budget would have gotten him the wall. I think it would have gotten his veto overridden.

Tucker says this as if another Republican candidate had won, they would have achieved these things. BWAHAHA.

Tucker Carlson is a TV moron who comes across as a brilliant political pundit because his show is aimed at viewers with an IQ of 100 — as opposed to Hannity’s show which is aimed at viewers with an IQ of 90.

Good for you. Go vote for Cory Booker if that pleases you. Please get off this website, in the meantime.

All done with Tucker and the married-to-a-man Shep. OAN is the only place left. I will, however, continue with Grag Gutfield’s show. Other than that, tah tah Tucker.

I heard he has Republicans pictured on the cover of his book.

If so, that’s the Tucker that I remember from years of TV appearances. He was never principled in conservativism nor republicanism, if I recall correctly.

I was a little surprised when he gained so much popularity in his latest job. I was never sure where he stood.

Obviously you give no credit to the president for destroying the disaster that was NAFTA. NAFTA, which favored Mexico and Canada over the US has been replaced by president Trump and will, in effect, GREATLY change the formerly terrible advantage Mexico and Canada held over us economically. Your tunnel vision does not allow you to think outside of the walls of your limited perspective and see that in effect, Mexico will be paying for the wall by the benefits WE will regain with the new deal,USMC.

You’re absolutely right. The Republican Congress thwarted him on each one of those issues.

Correct
Congress won’t fund the wall
Congress voted down a PP bill
Congress voted down Ocare repeal
