Tucker Carlson is usually quick to go after critics of President Donald Trump on his nightly Fox News show. But in a new interview with conservative Swiss magazine Die Weltwoche, the “Tucker Carlson Tonight” host called out Trump himself for his boastfulness and for failing to keep his promises to voters. “His chief promises were that he would build the wall, de-fund Planned Parenthood and repeal Obamacare, and he hasn’t done any of those things,” said Carlson, per The Washington Post. Carlson said he’d “come to believe” Trump’s role was “not as a conventional president who promises to get certain things achieved to the Congress and then does.” “I don’t think he’s capable,” Carlson explained. “I don’t think he’s capable of sustained focus. I don’t think he understands the system. I don’t think the Congress is on his side. I don’t think his own agencies support him. He’s not going to do that.” Carlson said it was “mostly” Trump’s fault that he hadn’t been able to deliver on his pledges, because “you really have to understand how” the legislative process works and “be very focused on getting it done.” Trump “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. I’m not in charge of Trump,” he added. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entr...s-on-donald-trump_us_5c0a33ade4b0b6cdaf5dc43e
This is the crap that Carlson cares about...which speaks volumes about what an idiot butt-hole he is as well.
Trump moved on every one of his campaign promises but until he has the power of congress he can't pass them by himself. Not much more Trump can do other than what he did.
But I thought Trump is supposed to be the great negotiator? Shouldn’t he be able to negotiate with congress to come through on his promises???
Whoa there, I'm sorry, but would you please repeat that again? Has trump not had both houses of Congress with a Republican majority for the last two years? It ain't ever gonna be easier than that for the man to make good on his campaign promises. Where have you been for the last two years, outer Mongolia? I'm really sorry, but with this post, you have shown that you have absolutely no grasp of American politics and I seriously doubt you ever will.
As I'm sure you've noticed, the republicans may have had both houses but they were not conservative. People like Flake opposing Trump and it killed all of his proposals. That's why we need to remove the RINO's.
Huh? Not conservative? Really? How do you figure that? Did you not notice the extremely conservative Supreme Court Justice they approved? Did you not notice the tax cuts for the rich they approved? Did you not notice the idiotic actions of the spoiled rich kid in the Oval Office they condone repeatedly, at the expense of what America stands for? Did you not notice PaulRyan and his gang of mobsters? Did you not notice how 'draining the swamp' seems to have meant refilling it with those even more detrimental to the interests of the American middle class than any who have ever come before? I really could go on until the internet ended, if you wished. Good lord, where exactly do you get your information from?
Your hyperbole aside the Republican party isnt a dictatorship where trump can just command reuplican congressmen do his bidding. Republicans in Congress are their own entity with many of them, like Flake, are never trumpers who have no intention of working with trump. Everything tucker listed trump has zero ability to do himself and is entirely on the legislative. And Paul Ryan is a mobster? Seriously? I think the left has contests of who can say the dumbest things instead of posting a rationale comment.
