Tucker: We're 'Speeding Toward Assassination' of Trump

[Jilly_in_VA]

Twitter podcaster Tucker Carlson is pounding home the theory that Democrats and the D.C. establishment are plotting to kill Donald Trump, this time claiming that we’re “speeding toward assassination” because “permanent Washington” has decided they “just can’t have” Trump as president again.

Appearing on anti-woke comedian Adam Carolla’s YouTube show this week, Carlson weighed in on his sitdown with Trump that aired on X, the site formerly known as Twitter, last week. That interview was planned by both Carlson and Trump—both of whom have their own grievances with Fox News—as counter-programming to the right-wing network’s GOP presidential primary debate that Trump skipped.

At one point, Carolla asked the former Fox News star what “the future holds” and whether “they are going to let Trump be president,” prompting Carlson to begin raging about the impeachments and criminal indictments the ex-president has faced. And, of course, Carlson also tossed in some Jan. 6 trutherism for good measure.

“They protested him, they called him names. He won anyway. They impeached him twice on ridiculous pretenses,” the far-right nationalist pundit exclaimed. “They fabricated a lot about what happened on January 6 in order to impeach him again. It didn’t work. He came back. Then they indicted him. It didn’t work. He became more popular. Then they indicted him three more times. And every single time his popularity rose.”

Oh please, Tuckums. Get a brain and get off your hobbyhorse.

1. I hope this isn't more of their usual projection

Is there no horrible things they won’t accuse us of without zero evidence?

[honest.abe]

2. Tucker is setting up the scenario where some RW nutjob tries to fake assassinate Trump...

8. There's nothing these Rethug fuckwads wouldn't try, so it wouldn't surprise me, not in the least.

[ZZenith]

15. Exactly.

It’s the only avenue they have left.

[RockRaven]

3. Russian asset says what?

[Jarqui]

4. I'm sure the Secret Service can find a way to protect him in prison ...nt

[Brainfodder]

22. I believe the SS just signs off on full custody to Bureau of Prisons?

Would be a huge waste, I expect he loses all his post-Prez stuff for his crimes also?

[Maru Kitteh]

29. Doubtful he loses all the perks. No mechanism for it at this time, no law.

Removal and disqualification via impeachment and the five presidential amendments, that’s what we have to work with.

5. RWers are getting tired of shithole?...................

Putin needs another stooge, I would say all the GQP candidates for president qualifies.

[onetexan]

16. yep something's up. seems they're setting the grounds for something ominous.

[jmowreader]

6. Tucker, there's no desire on this side of the political spectrum to assassinate Trump

We're just going to throw him in the federal pen and let him die of a heart attack while he's pushing a laundry cart around.

"Officer, his heart stopped! We've got to do something!"
"You're telling me he has a heart? News to me!"

[bbernardini]

7. Every Republican accusation is a confession. nt

9. Tucker Carlson's Operation Wet Dream. Total projection since he was caught hating hard on Trump.

[wnylib]

10. Sounds like a projection set up to me.

Trump has become a liability to his party and they can't get rid of him, e.g. denying him the nomination. So they decide to off him, blame the Dems, and run a substitute con artist in his place to keep the MAGA vote, gain sympathy, and further demonize Dems.

Carlson is prepping the MAGAs for the rage.

[Turbineguy]

11. Wishful thinking.

I would prefer a lightning strike. He would be naturally turned into a smoking piece of pork rind.

[Initech]

12. Nah, he's not worth assassinating.

I'd personally much rather see him rot in prison, seething in his own rage, and then let nature take its' course.

[captain queeg]

17. Not worth the cost of a bullet.

Though more likely it would be a plutonium sandwich, or hamberder

[Initech]

19. Or a bottle of ketchup!

[kwolf68]

13. VictimHood Complex Syndrome

And Trump is NOT more popular, except with the 25% of crazy assholes

[eShirl]

14. He makes no sense.

[MagickMuffin]

18. Dies of Natural causes, the Democrats killed him

Died like Elvis, the Democrats killed him


His plane goes down because he doesn’t pay his maintenance bill, the Democrats killed him


He dies in a car wreck, the Democrats killed him



Anything that might happen to him will be the Democrats killed him.



Not worth it tucker

[Zambero]

20. "We're speeding toward...."

And not "they're"? Coming from the same guy who'd previously disclosed that he harbored an intense hatred for Trump? Sounds like a Freudian slip to me!

[calguy]

21. If the pressure gets too much for him

There's always the possibility that trump might self-assasinate.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

23. I want TFG to be tried and convicted

[roamer65]

24. More RuZZian agitprop from Fucker.

[B.See]

25. it'd probably most LIKELY be one of them

... once they decide Trump's a liability to a 2024 win.

[Jilly_in_VA]

26. Maybe

someone would do us a great favor and silence Tuckums. Like permanently.........

This is not a call to violence. Don't @ me.

[malaise]

27. Is he among those planning this?

Asking for a friend

[Angleae]

28. If anyone is planning to kill Trump it's Putin.

Trump really should stay away from windows in tall buildings.
