The gloves are officially off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just weeks after blasting President Donald Trump’s handling of the Iran conflict, abandoning the Republican Party, and declaring “I’m out,” Tucker Carlson has launched what may be his most personal attack on the president yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Appearing on the Jack Neel Podcast<\/em><\/a> on Wednesday, Carlson mocked Trump as a loudmouth who talks tough but lacks the resolve to back it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recalling Trump’s repeated Truth Social warnings that Iran’s regime could be eliminated, Carlson argued the president realized there was “no obvious military solution” and tried to bluff his way through the crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “So he tried to posture his way out of it,” Carlson said, impersonating Trump. “‘We’re going to eliminate you.'”<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Carlson, the strategy backfired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “After like the 400th Truth Social, [Iran] reached the same conclusion that everyone on the globe reached, which is this guy’s not strong, he’s weak,” Carlson said. “Strong people don’t brag about how strong they are. They just punch you in the face and end the conversation.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carlson then compared Trump to the kind of barroom braggart his late father once warned him about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “My father was a boxer at one point,” Carlson said, explaining that there are “two types of guys” in a fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first, he said, are the men who puff out their chests and shout, “What’d you say? Say it again!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “You don’t have to worry about those guys,” Carlson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The people to fear, he argued, are the ones who stay quiet until they strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “And Trump is very much, ‘What’d you say?!'” Carlson continued before delivering his bluntest insult yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Shut up, b*tch! I don’t take you seriously. No, I’m not being mean. But like, come on.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n The extraordinary remarks mark another dramatic escalation in Carlson’s increasingly bitter feud with the president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once one of Trump’s most influential allies, Carlson has spent the past several weeks repeatedly criticizing the administration’s approach to Iran, warning that the conflict betrayed the “America First” agenda that energized millions of Republican voters.

There’s no chance I would support the Republican Party.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n He later argued that Republican leaders had become disloyal to American voters, asking, “How could I or any American voter support a political party that’s not loyal to the United States?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) quickly echoed Carlson’s frustration, writing on social media that she, too, was “done supporting the Republican Party.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “There is A LOT of us that are absolutely fed up,” Greene wrote. “We are DONE with the America LAST Republican Party.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Trump, meanwhile, has repeatedly rejected Carlson’s criticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the height of tensions with Iran, the president pushed back against suggestions that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was dictating American policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “I call the shots,” Trump said. “I call all the shots.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carlson now appears unconvinced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What began as a disagreement over foreign policy has evolved into one of the most public and personal feuds within the conservative movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With each new interview, Carlson’s language has become more pointed\u2014and more difficult for Republicans to ignore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
