Tucker Carlson Goes Off on 'Weak' Donald Trump as Feud Explodes: 'I Don't Take You Seriously'

Tucker Carlson recently escalated his feud with President Donald Trump on the "Jack Neel Podcast," bluntly dismissing the president as a "barroom blowhard."

The bitter split between the former allies is primarily driven by Trump's involvement in the Middle East and his failures and aggressive threats against Iran.

Carlson recalled Trump's bellicose, often profanity-laced public threats regarding Iran. Carlson stated, "Shut up b----! I don't take you seriously," dismissing the president's posture as mere "posturing" to hide the lack of a real military solution.

Prior to this, Carlson had been publicly blasting Trump's aura as a "spell" that engenders cowardice and confusion among his advisors.

He told the podcast host that being in Trump's orbit is like "smoking hash," which ultimately weakens and manipulates the people around him.

Carlson broke with the administration specifically over the U.S. military strikes in Iran, claiming Trump betrayed his core "America First" promises.

“And 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. Strong people don’t brag about how strong they are. They just punch you in the face and end the conversation,” the former Fox News star said.

Recalling his father, whom he said was a boxer at one point, Carlson said there are two types of confrontational men.

“You don’t have to worry about those guys. And then [there are] guys who don’t say anything, just knock you cold, hit you in the face with a beer bottle, and keep hitting you. Like those are the people you need to be afraid of. They’re not the posturers. They’re not the braggers in your [face], and I think everyone knows that intuitively,” he explained.

“And Trump is very much ‘What’d you say?!’” Carlson added, putting Trump in the bragger category. “Shut up, b----! I don’t take you seriously. No, I’m not being mean. But like, come on.”

Carlson stated he no longer communicates with the octogenarian president and has gone on the record declaring he will not support the Republican Party anymore, calling their actions "immoral.”

"I would not support the Republican Party, there's no chance... How could I support a political party that is not loyal to the United States... [that] puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens? I voted Republican my entire life, I have been a consistent defender for 35 years of the Republican party, but there is no defending this. So, no, I’m out. And if I’m out, then I think a lot of other people are out,” he said on the “Can't Be Censored” podcast.

"There's no chance I would support the Republican Party, but I'm not gonna support the Democratic Party, I don't know what I'm gonna do,” he added.
