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,” the country’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.”

Except if he was being truthful he’d have to say that Trump is the greatest president of the last 40 years.

Trump has had to fight the Swamp every step of the way. He has had a couple of people-—Zincke, for example-—who have fought with him. The rest are doing whatever they can to save the swamp.

I was born and raised in NY, little man, and Donald Trump and I are the same age. I know what it is like to live in a state where my vote meant nothing, but still I fought and worked hard for each and every Republican candidate brave enough to run for office in NY.

I worked for Rick Lazio’s campaign, so yes I am well aware of voter fraud. What amazes me is that after all of these years Republicans still lay down and never ever do anything about it. After awhile what is the point?

As for an intensive course in history? I guess I will have to wait to find someone who has the qualifications to teach me history. I certainly don’t see anything in your posts which makes me think you are that person.

Why haven’t you created an about page? Nothing to put on it?

The word has come down from the Murdoch girls. Watch for Ingarham to turn. Hannity and Judge Jeannie will be all that’s left supporting Trump on FNC. The GOPE will try and throw this election and lose in hopes of continuing the globalist status-quo.

Spineless fool even when the evidence jumps out and grabs you.

Oh silly me, I thought Jim Robinson decided who posts here and who doesn’t. Not someone named “nopardons.” You have been around for a long time, though, almost as long as me...

I will wish you a pleasant evening. I have wasted enough of my precious time on you.

Looks like Tucker tucked his tail and ran when Antifa had their greeting for him. Sounds like a mush boi now. Sayonara you bow-tied dweeb.

This IS a CONSERVATIVE web site, as it is stated on the frontispiece.

The WEEKLY STANDARD is NOT "conservative" at all; so there goes your whole supposition about this site and everything else.

And claiming that Trump doesn't stand for CONSERVATISM is hysterically funny and proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that YOU don't understand what "conservatism" actually is, nor what is doable!

He "bashed the "best" in Congress? REALLY? Please name names/show examples of these supposed "best" Congress Critters!

Tucker is an utter jerk and Coulter blows hot&cold, who imagines that Romney is a "great guy"!

"Mature minds" ? Oh good grief; you have the gall to claim to have one, do you? It is to laugh; a huge belly laugh...full of derision!

I defended W through it all I was with Trump from day one. The rats are now in the business of delegitimizing elected presidents, stealing elections, stealing out money, giving away our country, coming after our Second Amendment rights all while republicans sit by and allow it. After Trump you tell me where we find a candidate who fights for the people. Where?

“Then YOU don’t belong here either and also do NOT give a damn about this nation nor her future. That’s right...just throw in the towel, but complain constantly about things, like a child with the “TERRIBLE TWOS”!

Oh you poor benighted little nothing!

Being born in N.Y. State doesn't mean that you understand REAL NYC people, nor Trump!

I was born and bred in NYC, am from an "old NYC family", worked on many a local, state, and national GOP campaign myself and unlike you, actually understand Trump and his way of thinking; which you don't!

I know American history well and also know and understand more about politics than you do, or ever shall!

And as far as my home page, very few of those of us who are early members of this site have ever put anything at all on our home pages. Frankly, I've never seen the need to and have always tried to keep my REAL LIFE private. Curious about me, are you? LOL

“The word has come down from the Murdoch girls.”

Is that a fact? As it is, they are losing Fox followers like crazy. Stupid women.

“The POTUS essentially stands alone against the Liberal, anti-American GOPee, the Commie ‘Rats and the YUGE Deep State, but manages to grind out significant yardage.”

Spot on! Post of the night.

Retread, are you?

Your sign-up is '17; mine is '98, some how have YOU "been here almost as long" as I have been?

I never claimed that I had any power of who does and w2ho doesn't have any decision on who gets to post here; just said that you don't really belong here and you don't.

Were you banned, or did you just go off to post on a renegade site and then came back?
