Tucker Carlson turns on Trump, "I don't think he's capable"

"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.

...

“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.”

And when the 1 % controlled congress and senate have no need for tRump any more, they will get rid of him. I believe the charge will be led by Faux noise.. If faux starts brainwashing the unwashed masses the tRump removal will not be such a shock to his base...
Sorry donald, It's just business.... nothing personal...

7. Tired old trope. "Conservatism didn't fail, you failed conservatism"

Trump is the culmination of the track started by Nixon, put on steroids by Reagan, and shifted into overdrive by Bush/Cheney. Idiots like Carlson think that somehow, the flaw is with the people "doing conservatism" not with the philosophy itself.

“Is not capable”. Gee, he is a real keen observer. Some of us knew from Day 1 that sooner or later the truth about tRump would be obvious but we didn’t think it would take 2 years of his nonsense for their eyes to be opened.
