Tucker Carlson Says He Feels ‘Betrayed’ by Trump Over Iran War: WSJ
Carlson said Trump abandoned his antiwar promise and called the Iran conflict a break with his America First views.
- Political commentator Tucker Carlson expressed feeling "betrayed" by President Donald Trump in a Saturday interview with The Wall Street Journal, citing aggressive military actions in the Middle East as a departure from his "America First" campaign promises.
- Carlson, a former informal adviser to Trump, points to the February 28 U.S. and Israeli airstrikes that killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as the breaking point that deeply divided conservatives expecting an anti-war stance.
- Trump labeled Carlson a "low IQ person" earlier this month, while Carlson responded by calling the president a "slave" to external forces and apologizing for "misleading" voters in 2024.
- Positioning himself as the "most prominent opponent of the Iran war," Carlson argued that foreign conflicts are a "generational problem that didn't start with Trump," suggesting the system ultimately proved stronger than the president.
