Carlson does have a point regarding Iran, but it seems he's voiced his disapproval of Trump before the Iran conflict.

Tucker Carlson admits he doesn’t ‘hate’ Trump but feels ‘betrayed’ by the president’s policies

Tucker Carlson says he doesn’t hate his former close friend, President Donald Trump, but feels “betrayed” by the administration’s recent military actions in the Middle East.

Carlson, the former Fox News host and one of the most influential conservative media voices in America, was once closely aligned with Trump and even served as an informal adviser.

Now, Carlson has become one of Trump’s most vocal conservative critics, especially over the president’s foreign policy and military actions in the Middle East.

He recently apologized for helping Trump get elected, saying Trump has moved away from his earlier “America First” promise to avoid foreign wars and has instead taken a more aggressive approach.

“I don’t hate Trump. I hate this war and the direction that the U.S. government is taking,” Carlson told The Wall Street Journal in an interview released Saturday. “I feel betrayed.”

Carlson said he believed Trump’s campaign promise of “no new wars,” especially in the Middle East, was sincere. He now argues that Trump has since been influenced by neoconservatives and Israel, and has moved away from that original anti-war position............

Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

When's the last time Putin or the Emir of Qatar sent him a fruit basket?  Sounds like he needs one to lift his spirits.

Don't worry, Tucker.  Mad Vlad and the Emir still love you.  They won't hurt you like the others have.

Tucker has gone all wobbly on us. Someone got to him. He used to be or so it seemed, ultra conservative.

Like MassRINO said, he appears to be in the pocket of the Qataris and Putin, and it's been a lucrative arrangement.

I don't give a snot if Tucker "hates" Trump, TBH.  He's against the policies of Trump, so he can go to heck.

It has been a long time since this many allied media personalities turned on a politician one year into a term.  Comparable talk shows did not exist in 1974.  How hard is it to understand certain figures like Joe Rogan, Candace, and Megyn Kelly were duped by Trump and his fraudulent campaign?  Maybe they should have seen it coming, since he was close to Epstein and supported the Iraq war before it became unpopular.  But they were expecting things to be different, and now they represent a small part of a shattered coalition.
