Here's an article which cites Tucker's position and sentiments from three days ago:
And here was Trump's reply (w/o having read the article, to be fair) from just a bit ago:

Really? There's no room for spirited, intelligent debate?
I'm this close to telling my favorite president of all time to POUND SAND.
Calm down fren, you’re watching a movie.
If America gets hands dirty in fighting Iran, we can all go home
I want to believe. Really, I do.

Thanks, Fren. That helps.
Yes - confirmed when Trump threw shade at Tucker's mighty successful channel. He overdid it, just as with Elon, which leads me to believe this was planned between the two parties as a diversion... from what, though?
It's clear you (en_folkefiedne) are not one of those Trump supporters.
Adjunct Pettiness... is subjective, your opinion. I find your post to be petty.
ab ject: extremely contemptible or degrading. Oh, look. The English teacher of twenty years DID use his words correctly.
Ten years ago, I was the first in my circle to not only declare that Trump would win the candidacy, but he'd win the presidency - with my full endorsement. i was ridiculed, as many of us were, but we proved them all wrong. And I've been an outspoken supporter of Trump on 99% of the policies and EOs and positions thus far.
For me to have a hesitation about America involving myself into - with the CCP likely to back Iran - another endless war, it doesn't all of a sudden negate my overall support for Trump or put my past support into question. It means that, unlike some here, I'm approaching this as I approach everything in life, as a healthy skeptic. And for me, NONE of this makes any sense.
Almost done. Your failed attempt to diminish whatever impact my post can have here by citing the obvious - that I had an opinion about something (which most people here do) - is noted.
I realized that I should give you some context for my comment. Remember when Trump called Putin crazy recently and said that he had lost his mind? And then the msm jumps in and tells Trump that an assassination attempt had been made on Putin. And Trump says he didn’t know. So what happened there? Trump made the msm stand up for Putin. If you honestly think that Trump did not know about the attempt, then you have no idea as to how intelligence works. Trump played “the heavy” and Putin became the “victim”. When this kind of rhetoric happens in the future, ask yourself, what will the outcome or effect of Trump behaving this way be on the currently accepted narrative.
I appreciate your recollections from recent times re: the War in Ukraine, but it doesn't translate for me here.
Yes, Trump is great at playing the Fool when it serves the nation's interests. No, this doesn't look at all like Trump playing the Fool this time.
Why wasn't Tulsi Gabbard invited to discuss whether or not to support Israel's play against Iran? Because three months ago, she reported - from the best intel available - that Iran is not currently developing nukes.
Why isn't Congress discussing this? Because Israel owns nearly every one of them.
Where's the debate? There's as little public debate this time around as there was 22 years ago, when we were gaslighted into supporting the War in Iraq.
Bannon and Tucker aren't perfect. They're not always right. But in this season, they appear to be the only adults in the room willing to ask these hard questions.
Trump isn’t playing the fool - he’s playing the heavy, there’s a difference. The intent is to piss people off and make them want to discuss it more. It worked on you, and you’re a Trump supporter. The msm is going to take the opposite viewpoint of Trump, they can’t help themselves. He is taking advantage of their mental illness by dragging them to the center of the argument. Tulsi has already reported to Trump he knows everything about what’s happening in Iran. Have you read Sun Tzu’s The Art of War? If not, you should, it’s well worth your time and everything is being played out in front of us.
Or better yet, watch the Hulu series, Shogun.
I have the Art of War, thank you, and I've seen Shogun on Hulu. Best series ever.
Cite all of the books and TV shows that you like. Your reasoning - the fact that Trump oftentimes triangulates the MSM off of the Villain of the Week - doesn't apply here - because sometimes Trump isn't triangulating.
He made a statement saying that we'll only get engaged if any of our military installations are hit. Obviously, that's as much of a negotiations tactic as it is an intimidation tactic, obviously. But he's forgetting: the Iranian Regime has a felt need to hit back. And after helping Israel defend herself after she cut loose on Iran?
Yeah. War is coming. And no one to date has successfully made the case for it.
My bad, I didn’t realize that you were on a dooming kick. We all know that there will be a precipice, or did you forget about that?
My bad. I didn't realize that we weren't allowed to use critical thinking here.
We all know there's a place for that, or did you forget that?
Yep, you’re definitely allowed to use critical thinking here, in fact it’s encouraged. I was gently reminding that you’re in dooming mode.
Wrong w/ your felt to make assumptions about me, for like the fourth time in a row.
Asking question doesn't equal dooming. In fact, I'll go even further: I believe that one could lose faith in Trump - believing he's gotten bad intel - and still believe that the white hats win in the end.
It's called nuance. You should try it some time.
First Elon, and now Tucker? Say it ain't so!
I'm guessing this is more kayfabe, distancing Tucker from Trump to give him more perceived objectivity going forward. The response "I don't know what Tucker is saying" is fair enough; the dig to "get his own network" does seem petty and needless.
Liberal appealing statement
Liberals aren't listening to online news, so why is he making liberal appealing statements.
Like Musk, he's not trying to win people over, but he is trying to make sure they know he's distant from Trump. That's my suspicion anyway. Outside media heavily reported the Trump-Musl rift; I'll be curious to see if they do similar coverage about Tucker.
Trump (according to above link): "Let him go get a television network and say it so that people actually listen." Wouldn't it be odd for someone wanting to disseminate truth to want to do it via a fake news television network?
That wasn't what Trump was getting at. He was clearly taking a stab at Tucker for no longer having an influential show on a major news network.
Intelligent, spirited debate isn't what Trump does. If someone publicly goes against any of his decisions, he usually goes off on them in a quite juvenile way. Regardless of what We, The People say, the current Iranian regime is about to come to an end, probably in a violent way.
And IF the reports of Khameini's death are accurate, whoever takes over after him is probably going to retaliate in a stupid manner, and this will continue on (while the innocent Iranians suffer) until the U.S./Israel are able to find a puppet to install.
This has happened again and again in the M.E. since th Clowns got Congressionallu chartered in '47. I don't think it's a coincidence that the Clowns and Israel were both created within months of each other. It's like th political version of birthig fraternal twins.
That's not true. I've heard countless anecdotes since his first administration of those working closely with the president, citing that he will listen for a long time to the various voices in the room - which, of course, disagree much of the time - before reaching a decision.
My biggest problem is that there's no spirited debate happening publicly. MTG is virtually the only person in Congress to ask, Do we really have to?
And for those of who are old enough, this gaslighting smells like it was ripped out of the same CIA playbook used to sell us the War in Iraq over twenty years ago.
What is he supposed to say? I don't think he has time for BS from the media, including Tucker.
He is not trying to get us involved with Iran. He has said as much. Multiple times. Iran wouldn't still be willing to speak with him of there was any inclination otherwise.
But I do think we're very very close to ww3, more than Trump will say, (to not freak ppl out or show weakness) but his actions and demenor speak it. The man is working himself silly to try to negotiate to prevent that from happening.
Fake and ghey. Almost as if they know the script.
Fake like feud with Elon.. to get the normies to listen to Tucker
Listen to this exchange. Tucker and Steve are as sincere about this as the day is long.
