“Instead, he bragged about signing the McConnell-Ryan tax cuts for big, woke corporations”

During his 2016 campaign Trump spoke about ending the “carried interest” loophole for the Wall Street financiers which taxed income flowing to partners in an investment fund at the lower capital gains rate instead of at regular income rates. The private equity industry has been responsible for the pillaging of American businesses over the past 30 years and the offshoring of millions of US middle class jobs. The partners in these firms have become billionaires while the average American worker has watched the American dream evaporate.

Once Trump took office, an end to carried interest was not part of the McConnell Ryan tax costs which Trump took credit for.

And you’re surprised he didn’t win like he won in 2016 - when he no longer sounded like the MAGA candidate of 2016?

Trump 2020 - 74,216,154

Trump 2016 - 62,984,828

11 million more votes. REAL votes - not the fake ones they ginned up for Joey Diapers.

Trump needs a primary challenger from the MAGA wing of the party, to keep his feet to the fire.

What a load of nonsense!
You need a strong injection with Chloroquine or something to get back to your senses.
The entire article is stupid.
Tucker has been to Easter Europe twice in the last couple of months and presented programs from there. Does that means he's running to be president of Hungary?
How do you far left trolls manage to get to post this garbage on FR anyways?

The host of the event asked him. Tucker said he fully plans to stay where he is.

He spent a lot of time bragging about letting felons out of prison, and he blasted Biden for being “too tough” on drug offenders in his crime bill back in the 80s

Yeah?
How many criminals did Biden/Obama pardon vs President Trump?

Obama/Biden pardoned a massive 1,927 individuals convicted of federal crimes (HIGHEST IN HITORY).

Vs.

President Trump paroned granted executive clemency to ONLY 237 individuals charged or convicted of federal criminal crimes

So who was tougher on convicted felons then?
Its not even close.
Its President Trump by far.
Can you take your far left propaganda elsewhere?
Its not going to sell here.

Candidate speech and ads cannot be censored. Tucker can do a lot to get word out on election integrity, Hunter Biden, etc. Should make the debates interesting

Interesting thoughts. Trump was tempered by GOP “advisors” who viewed MAGA through a political prism, “No, you can’t defend yourself. You’ll be impeached again. No, you can’t fire or hire him. Mitch won’t approve”. There was a time before being elected when Trump spoke his mind, ALWAYS. Carlson is doing precisely that now. I agree with you, Trump needs pressure from MAGA independents to counter GOP DeepStaters who will weasel their way back into the campaign and possible administration.

The author cited a source who thinks Carlson's running.

Tucker Carlson is NOT running for president. Not even close. The Dems must be rubbing really scared of President Trump to be pushing this nonsense. And I listen to Tucker every weekday night.

He’s perfect right where he is. There may come a time where he’ll have to move on. Then what? Can’t see elective politics. High profile. Use his pretty face. Seems limited.

Tucker has given NO INDICATION whatsoever that he is even interested in running for anything, let alone rubbing for or president.

They are not dividing any conservatives over Tucker. Tucker’s ratings will continue to be high mostly from conservatives, and President Trump is still going to win the GOP primaries in 2024.

Dream on!
Tell your buddy Dementia Joe to do that.
Dementia Joe's entire cabinet is full of criminals anyways. Hunter Biden will fit in nicely.
