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.”

He's wrong and so are YOU!

There has been some wall building; however, the House holds the purse strings and refuses to give him the money to build it! You and obviously quite a few on this thread, as well as Tucker, need to go back to school and learn how our government works!

The president is NOT a king, emperor, nor dictator who can just order something to be done, all on his own and say-so!

The "READ MY LIPS" is something faaaaaaaaaaaaaar removed from anything that Trump has said or done and G.H.W. Bush was NOT "Reagan's third term"; it was a debacle of cave[-in to the Dems!

When Trump ‘brags’ he is bragging about us, the American People, who is representing.

Tax cut: check.

Conservative SC and lower court picks: Check

Erasure of mountains of regulations: Check.

Renegotiate NAFTA: check.

Begin to build the Wall: check.

Move embassy to Jerusalem: check.

Jump start the economy: check.

Establish national self interest as a basis for international relations: check

Called out China on their dishonest trade practices, and brought them to the table for real for the first time: check.

Restored America to a position of strength and international respect. Check.

Now what was it that he was supposed to achieve in two years, that this nerd thinks he fell through on?

BTW, style points are BS so don’t tell me how he doesn’t talk nice.

This story from the litter-box liner Washington Post is counter to everything I see on Tucker's show every night.

Most of the websites reporting this seem to be exaggerating. Breitbart did carry it. I think what Breitbar was mentioning was Tucker did say Pres. Trump didn’t keep his promise on the border wall but he actually tried but the cesspool Democrats and Republicans will not let that happen. He should shut the government down untilthey give him the full amount he wants.

Here’s a book I won’t bother to read. Nor will I bother to watch Tucker Carlson on TV any more either. Since he thinks an aristocracy is ok, he probably sees himself as part of it. I don’t like his interview style anyway.

Here’s the transcript of the original interview - pretty accurate:

No wall, nearly all illegals get to stay, government not shut down to solve. On those points, yes, talk and no action.

This is unusual because I have watched lots of Carlson, and while not openly praising Trump, he has pretty much championed all of Trump’s causes.

The German Magazine is also sadly wrong about Fox News. FNC is not and hasn’t been since day one, supportive of Trump.

“I am wondering if Hannity is on the way out. Fox has attacked him for attending a Trump rally and then sank his must watch interview Monday. Maybe Carlson is playing to the Murdoch wives and thinks he can snag Hannity’s time slot.”

I’m noticing the placement of more liberal guests on Tucker’s and Ingraham’s shows. That’s why I rarely tune in anymore. Fox is obviously making it’s move towards the dark side. Then again, the entire country is...

Yes, I can’t see how Tucker cannot see that.

I voted for Trump because - -

Border Wall

Setting the DOJ on the Clintons and the Deep State

I’m disappointed but the alternative is too awful to think about.
Trump should have crushed Ryan as the obstructing democrat he is and never, never allowed Gentleman Jeff Sessions anywhere near the DOJ or AG office

Tucker’s handlers instructed him it’s time to pull the trigger.

What Tucker says here has been the purpose of his deep state operation.

Suppose I don’t either. I don’t care much for the style. I am not big on the New Yorker bravado, but Trump is effective. All that matters.

Tucker is a fool.


Tucker is trying to trying to play both sides and is tip toeing through the tulips. Typical chattering class “conservative.”

Still, it’s interesting to read who generally agrees with it in FR.
