Just a brief point to make.

Tucker Carlson was fired from Fox news because he was one of very few journalists to cover the 2020 election steal.

Netanyahu raced to congratulate Biden. Mark Levin, Shapiro et al were "never Trump" initially. Trump had to win them round. He has to keep the juice lobby on side: comfortable enough to overreach. Which they are doing. These are people who would like to lock you up for your negative opinions of Israel etc.

So Trump must attack Tucker. Just like he must endorse the vaccine.

These are Trump's constraints - but you don't have to take the vaccine and you don't have to align yourself with lunatics like Mark Levin or Netanyahu. You do not have to hate Tucker either.

POTUS...must remain neutral for pure optical reasons.

How do you capture a very dangerous animal? you construct a trap, a square enclosure, one length of fence at a time. You bait it. You have the animal consider you a friendly.

Mark Levin pretty much demands Trump be enemies with Tucker. Doesn't mean you have to be, because you don't need to keep Levin on side.

Having said that, It doesn't matter what you choose to do, it is all factored in, it is all accounted for.

But you do not need to take the vaccine.

For what it is worth, my expectation is that one day, Indictments do come, and they do not land on Tucker. And one day, in his memoir maybe, Trump tells you straight: I pretended - I took all those slings and arrows gladly, for you.

Because it is very very clear: Tucker loves the USA way way way more than Levin or Shapiro. I'll bet Tucker loves Trump more than they do too.

And if I am wrong. It means Trump has been turned into their vassal - and I cannot ever believe that. Enjoy the show.
