In the third installment of TuckerCarlson's Twitter show on Tuesday night, the host devoted his 13-minute monologue to dissecting the arrest and court appearance of Donald Trump over his handling of classified documents.
According to the former Fox News host, the targeting of Trump and his subsequent arrest were ultimately due to his opposition of the"neocon war agenda" in Washington, D.C."It's been inevitable since Feb. 16, 2016," he said of Trump's arrest, referencing one of the Republican presidential primary debates ahead of the 2016 election. During this debate, Trump said that the government lied when it invaded Iraq."They lied.
He further claimed that the politicians and bureaucrats in the nation's capital have had a goal of putting Trump in jail ever since that statement. The charges over classified documents are simply a means to an end, Carlson claimed. "Congress decides to start a war, no matter how foolish or counterproductive or obviously disconnected from America's interests that war may be, the political class respond enthusiastically," he continued.
Despite Carlson's insinuation, Trump's foreign policy as president was not expressly isolationist. Notably, Trump promised in an ad in 2015 to"quickly and decisively bomb the hell out of ISIS" and"rebuild our military and make it so strong no one — and I mean, no one — will mess with us.”
