Carlson says Trump is 'under pressure', claims Israel has 'history of blackmailing US presidents'

WASHINGTON, DC: Responding to President Donald Trump’s blistering attack in a lengthy post on Truth Social, Tucker Carlson said that Trump “is under a level of pressure that most people cannot fathom,” as he accused the Israeli government of “blackmailing US presidents.”

Carlson responded to Trump and leveled serious accusations through the Tucker Carlson Network’s (TCN) daily newsletter on the morning of Friday, April 10. 

Trump, in a Truth Social post on Thursday, April 9, attacked Carlson as well as Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones, describing them as all having “low IQs.”

Tucker Carlson says Israel has history of blackmailing US presidents

Leveling serious accusations against the Israeli government, Carlson wrote, “Establishment media never reports this, but the Israeli government has a storied history of blackmailing US presidents.

Perhaps the most jarring example occurred in the 90s, when Israel used recordings of Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky as leverage to pressure Clinton into releasing convicted spy Jonathan Pollard from prison.

He further accused America’s “special ally” of playing dirty to achieve its goals. “Dark-money campaign contributions, extortion, physical threats, and even assassination. In their anti-Christian worldview, the ends always justify the means. They have no issue destroying lives.

“Israel’s current top priority is making sure Operation Epic Fury does not stop. They know the US fighting their war for them is the best chance at expanding their borders and becoming a global superpower, and a peace deal would foil their plot.”

Carlson further clarified that he is not sure whether these things are happening, “but the mere possibility is haunting enough to keep the president up at night. He is under a level of pressure that most people cannot fathom, with rabid Israel Firsters viciously harassing him any time he dares to stray even slightly from their favorite country’s agenda.”

Trump calls Tucker Carlson, allies ‘stupid people’

Donald Trump, in a post on Truth Social on Thursday, April 9, launched a scathing attack on Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones, calling them “low IQ” people.

“They’re stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too! Look at their past, look at their record. They don’t have what it takes, and they never did!” he fumed.

“They’ve all been thrown off Television, lost their Shows, and aren’t even invited on TV because nobody cares about them, they’re nut jobs, troublemaker, and will say anything necessary for some “free” and cheap publicity.”

Both Trump and Carlson have recently ramped up their attacks on each other.
