Tucker Carlson called TFG 'the single most repulsive person on the planet' and a 'wacko' in 1999

Fox News host Tucker Carlson called former President Donald Trump, then a real-estate mogul toying with a presidential bid, the "most repulsive person on the planet" and "so horrible" in a 1999 post on the website Slate.

Carlson, then an early-career conservative writer and commentator, made the judgment in an exchange with fellow Slate blogger, Evan Smith, who first labelled Trump a "repulsive" character.

"I'd love to add something even meaner to your description of Donald Trump - he's the sort of person I want to keep kicking once he's down-but I don't think I can," Carlson wrote in his exchange with Smith. "You've said it all: He is the single most repulsive person on the planet."

But Carlson acknowledged that Trump, who was considering a 2000 run as a Reform Party candidate, was more "interesting" than many others in politics.

Now he can't get enough Trump rump.

He just says whatever he thinks will advance his career interests.
