⚡️Tucker Carlson: Trump Is a “Slave” to Israel, May Be Getting Blackmailed by Netanyahu
Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson publicly accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of exerting “extraordinary pressure” on President Donald Trump — pressure he suggested may include blackmail — as Trump attempts to negotiate an end to the war with Iran.
In a BBC interview and in his Morning Note newsletter, Carlson said that Israel has a “storied history of blackmailing U.S. presidents,” including with sexual blackmail such as the alleged 1998 recordings of Bill Clinton. He suggested Trump may be facing a similarly “dark” level of coercion to launch and now continue the war.
Carlson called Trump a “slave” to Israel, saying the president “can’t make his own decisions” and has been “hemmed in by other forces” — noting how the U.S. was “steered” into the Iran war by Netanyahu despite it not serving American interests.
He described the conflict as the “single biggest mistake” of any American presidency in his lifetime and said the pressure on Trump is “dark enough” to force him to abandon his “America First” platform, turning him into “the precise kind of politician he once vowed to destroy.“
