In Potentially Big Sign Of Trouble For Trump, Even Fox News Allies Like Tucker Carlson Now Turning On Him
Donald Trump’s party lost big in the midterm elections, his inner circle was hit hard by the Russia investigation, and now the president may have lost one of his biggest backers: Fox News.
This week, some of the network’s most Trump-friendly personalities have started to push back against the president and his policies. That includes Tucker Carlson, one of the biggest Trump supporters in all media and a favorite of Trump himself. In an interview with the Swiss magazine Die Weltwoche, Carlson said Trump has failed to keep his “chief promises” to build a wall along the Mexican border and to defund Planned Parenthood and repeal the Affordable Care Act.
“And he hasn’t done any of those things,” Carlson said. “I’ve come to believe that Trump’s role is not as a conventional president who promises to get certain things achieved to the Congress and then does.”
