So in his efforts to sabotage Trump, he actually sabotaged himself


I'm sorry. I used to think you were rational. To think ANY of that is responsive to the question of "how did Trump run Tucker out of mainstream media?" is lunacy.

Trump makes things up. Most adults know this. It's an ingrained part of Trump's personality that most of his supporters---including me---accept as part of the whole package.

Carlson was fired in April of 2023. Trump welcomed him as an effective and active campaign surrogate during the 2024 election.

For Trump male groupies, it's time to put America first, no new forgeign conflicts overnight became Iran is an extistential threat to Middle East security that oppresses its own people and we should've gone to war with them years ago.

His fake support of MAGA got exposed, and cost him his career (and his mind)

1)Tucker was sued
2) Emails and texts came out during discovery that Tucker had been faking MAGA support all along, and actually loathed all the cousin frickers that were supporting Trump
3) Fox fired Tucker. No one else would touch him

People like you are insufferable. What were you doing with your money when gas was $1.30/gallon, during Trump’s first term? Livin’ large? My 401(k) and investments are skyrocketing right now. Food too much for you? Quit eating out so much.

Trump ain’t your baby-sitter. Be smart with your money. Don’t recall you on here when, during Biden’s administration, inflation was double what it is today and interest rates were approaching 10%. Grow a set and handle your financial affairs. Buy a book if you don’t know how. It ain’t his job to make your life comfortable.

Like him or not, the fact is Trump is the only finger in the dyke that is holding this country together as we know it. The communists are on the move and the republic is in jeopardy.
Exactly. Without Trump we'd have all the things communists are for like:

- government-run and subsidized drug stores
- government ownership of private companies
- price controls for credit card vendors
- government deciding who can/can't buy houses
- using government to threatening private companies for "price gouging"
- monetary stimulus and currency manipulation to cover up floundering economy
- government import controls, deciding what americans should be allowed to buy
- complete disregard for spending and deficit spending

Oh wait...

Having divergent political views would be like one person believing in something like the tariff policy Trump has put in place while another person believes more in a free trade policy that we had for years. Those debates and differences are normal. Tucker is out here saying absolutely crazy things. What was it he said a few months back about how the Jews should be given blood tests to prove they are descendants of Abraham. It was something to that effect. Making crazy claims, statements, and suggestions like that does nothing but set the wing nuts off.

Are you taking into account the amount of purchasing power you are losing at the same time?

When I was younger, if you made $50k a year you were upper middle class.

Now you are poor.

Keep whistling past the graveyard. Nobody claimed he is a “baby sitter” but the jackass ran his 2024 campaign on lowering the cost of groceries and I believed him because the economy was great under his first term.
I don’t eat out very often either, but it costs more to eat healthy and that’s the personal investment path I take.

So if calling out a politician for going back on his word makes me *gasp* “insufferable” then guilty as fricking charged.

What’s the point of even voting in national elections with your logic? Oh wait, there isn’t any and that’s the conclusion many, myself included, have taken.

This may surprise you, but he is the only person in America that is president. You may not like his style, but the message is true.

I guess you prefer your president to call a lid before lunch or just be a parrot and say politically correct "presidential" things

I'm still open to the attack on Iran being beneficial, but this statement in particular is annoying.

Wasn't Trump president from 2017 through 2021? Why didn't he attack Iran then?

The election results would say the base is united. The only ones who seem divided are the podcasters and influencers who are funded by foreign nations.

Yep. We’re seeing the same or very closely similar vocal minority among the right who are a little uninformed as to how many people they think they’re speaking for when they make those sweeping and broad statements about what some huge block of voters is doing. Again, a very vocal minority who is of no weight or concern, just as they were not in 2024, despite said sweeping statements.

I think the base is united. The question is will right-leaning independents be motivated to actually vote.

Their choices are moderate/conservatives, or communists. Pretty easy choice for anyone with a brain.
