Tucker Carlson Definition of Sycophant, Suck Up and Loser

"Even the president saw [the eclipse], but in a move that is not a complete surprise, he looked at the sun without any glasses, perhaps the most impressive thing any president has done."

Yes, more impressive than oh... say
John Adams negotiating a peace with France while the hawks screamed for War
Abraham Lincoln presiding over the Civil War
Theodore Roosevelt breaking up monopolies
Woodrow Wilson and WW I
Franklin D Roosevelt dealing with the Depression, the archaic positions of the then US Supreme Court and WW II
Richard Nixon negotiating with China
Ronald Reagan meeting with Gorbachev
and so on and so on and so on

of how far having a rich parent can take you. Fu - er - Tucker would not be in the position he is in were it not for his rich mommy. Too bad "character" and "decency" can not be bought. tRump and tucker both lack in those areas.

He knows exactly what he's doing when he says things like that. Not saying he's not a Trump stooge, he clearly is, but still. He does crap like that very deliberately.

His brain, of course, will interpret it as fireworks celebrating the best, greatest, most tremendous POTUS ever.
