January 1, Tucker Carlson Says Donald Trump is ‘A Little Bit Autistic’ [Video]

Fox News host Tucker Carlson said former President Donald Trump is “a little bit autistic” during a lengthy interview on the Full Send Podcast.

The eyebrow-raising remark came after while the group was discussing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Podcast host Kyle Forgeard asked Carlson: “I saw Trump said he could close that in 24 hours if he wanted to. Do you think he could?”

“I have no idea,” Carlson said. “I mean, he couldn’t build a border wall in four years. So, you know there is a gap between promises and delivery with all politicians, very much including him.”

The Tucker Carlson Tonight host went on to call Trump “a little bit autistic,” saying that it gives him a different perspective than other politicians.

“But I will say in Trump’s defense, and maybe cause he’s a little bit autistic, he saw the stakes of this, like at the very beginning — and this is what I do love about Trump, particularly in foreign policy. He sees the big stuff. He’s like, ‘Wait, you’ve got Russia and China. They don’t trust each other. We can’t let them get together.’”

Carlson went on to say that the former president was correct about the growing relationship between Russia and China, but his critics dismissed his warning as racist rhetoric.

“’They’ll kick our ass and — we’re not gonna fight a war against them, one hopes, but we’ll definitely be taking orders from them, definitely.’ And he said that five years ago when everyone’s like, ‘Shut up racist!’ Okay, he’s a racist, but is he wrong?” he said.

“He says, if we start a war by proxy against Russia, Russia will align with China and we’ll be f***ed. Like — do you think that’s true or not? ‘Shut up.’ I mean, they would never address it,” Carlson continued.

“That’s when I was like, whatever you think of Trump, these people are speaking in bad faith. They’re stupid. They’re also the ones who got us into the Iraq war to no benefit to anybody,” he added.
