In a Twitter clip, Carlson says that Trump is the “most significant thing to happen in American politics in 100 years,” on Russell Brand’s “Stay Free” podcast.
Carlson praised Trump, saying that he “reoriented the Republican Party against the Republican leaders.” He also went on to say that he was "struck" by the former U.S. President's view of foreign policy and reference the war in Ukraine. "You know Trump is the only person with stature in the Republican Party really who is saying wait a second why are we sending an endless war in Ukraine," he said.
Tucker Carlson Says He Is 'Grateful' For Trump
Carlson continued to discuss the war in Ukraine, saying that he is "grateful" for Trump's position on Ukraine.
"Leaving aside whether Trump is going to get the nomination or get elected President or would be a good President, I can't even assess that, all I can at this point is I'm so grateful he has that position," he added. "He's right and everyone in Washington is wrong, everyone. And Trump is right on that question and it's a big question. That war is reshaping the world. It's reshaping the economy of the world. It's reshaping populations."
"Whether he gets the nomination or gets elected, words really matter. Saying something true out loud matters, and he is saying true things about Ukraine and God bless him," Carlson continued. "That's how I feel."
That being said, The Hill noted that Tucker Carlson will host a forum later this week featuring a handful of candidates for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination… but not Trump.
