Twitter podcaster Tucker Carlson is pounding home the theory that Democrats and the D.C. establishment are plotting to kill Donald Trump, this time claiming that we’re “speeding toward assassination” because “permanent Washington” has decided they “just can’t have” Trump as president again.
Appearing on anti-woke comedian Adam Carolla’s YouTube show this week, Carlson weighed in on his sitdown with Trump that aired on X, the site formerly known as Twitter, last week. That interview was planned by both Carlson and Trump—both of whom have their own grievances with Fox News—as counter-programming to the right-wing network’s GOP presidential primary debate that Trump skipped.
At one point, Carolla asked the former Fox News star what “the future holds” and whether “they are going to let Trump be president,” prompting Carlson to begin raging about the impeachments and criminal indictments the ex-president has faced. And, of course, Carlson also tossed in some Jan. 6 trutherism for good measure.
“They protested him, they called him names. He won anyway. They impeached him twice on ridiculous pretenses,” the far-right nationalist pundit exclaimed. “They fabricated a lot about what happened on January 6 in order to impeach him again. It didn’t work. He came back. Then they indicted him. It didn’t work. He became more popular. Then they indicted him three more times. And every single time his popularity rose.”

According to Carlson, the only thing left for the so-called ruling class to do is kill Trump.
“If you begin with criticism, then you go to protest. Then you go to impeachment. Now you go to indictment and none of them work. What’s next?” Carlson said, purely just asking questions. “I mean, you know, graph it out, man! We’re speeding toward assassination, obviously, and no one will say that!”
He added: “I don’t know how you can’t reach that conclusion. You know what it’s been like. They have decided—permanent Washington. Both parties have decided that there’s something about Trump that’s so threatening to them, they just can’t have it.” Carlson’s assertion that Washington elites are conspiring to murder the current GOP presidential frontrunner comes after he posed that very same question to Trump during their friendly Twitter chat.
“They started with protests against you, massive protests, organized protests by the left, and then it moved to impeachment twice,” Carlson proclaimed to Trump. “And now indictment. I mean, the next stage is violence. Are you worried that they’re going to try and kill you? Why wouldn’t they try and kill you? Honestly.”
Since his abrupt ouster from Fox News, the one-time most-watched host on cable news has at times struggled to retain his cultural relevancy as he’s been shunted off to the hinterlands of Elon Musk’s social media platform. For instance, a gushing biography of him barely made a whimper on the best-seller charts, selling a mere 3,000 copies in its first week.
At the same time, though, Carlson has already pulled in investors to his new media venture, and nabbed seven-figure ad deals. And besides his chummy interview with Trump, Carlson has leaned further into controversy while posting obsequious sitdowns with Hungarian autocrat Viktor Orbán and accused human trafficker Andrew Tate.

Tucker Carlson is a far right nationalist pundit according to this article. That is pure BS. Tucker Carlson is a real journalist, unlike most of what we have pretending to be journalists today. I suppose that today, anyone that expresses truth, is far right.
Tucker is full of s–t. Nobody in the left wants to assasinate Trump….Trump is a cheap crook follow by a subset of idiotic voters and he will never be POTUS again. Trump has NEVER won the popular vote…what are his chances NOW after been clearly exposed of all his crimes?.
The only people that would benefit from trump’s assassination are the despicable set of wannabes in the Republican party, they get Drumpf out of the way, make him a martyr and use his faux martyrdom to get a way into turning the USA into a fascist state. Having said that, if I was Trump, I would be more afraid of Putin making a deal with DeSantis or with the Indian Dude and having Trump rub-off and putting the blame on the left to win the election. I also would not be surprised if Tucker is in this plot.
You have to be kidding, no one will assassinate trump, he is to big of a looser. Maybe the Republicans so they can find a winner to run for president.
Maybe you guys prefer that slick Biden approach to any problem; go to the beach and let my press secretary take the heat, he want even let Kamala deal with anything..makes yah wander who is running the White House; assassins like to target someone of importance to kill and that sure says it all🤠
Better than trump hiding out in florida. Whats his thing?? NEVER SURRENDER.Did an awful lot of surrendering lately don’t you think? We all know hes guilty as hell. Has been all his life. Even his own family says so. Grow up. Get your head out of his ass and hear something real going on in the world today. No one but you losers support him. NO ONE. Not a single person with a lick of common sense. Not any world leaders but facists like Putin and the asian guy. What is wrong with you?
I would prefer someone like Donald Trump to run for President. Not the ones like Joe Biden, He has put America into a pit of fire.
Where did Tucker get that information about someone, plotting to murder Trump?
Tucker is a smart man n knows the truth. We need to clean house n get rid of these democrats they are putting the United States in poverty so when you lefty’s end up living on the curb like the immigrants you can thank your lefty friends for it and along with your selves
