The original article by the WaPo:

Tucker Carlson says Trump is ‘not capable’ and hasn’t kept his promises

Tucker Carlson must have been WASTED when he supposedly said this.

So now you believe the WaPo? What are you doing on a conservative forum?

Carlson is a lightweight but he makes one good point: “We” sells better than “I”. Ronaldus Maximus knew this intuitively and used it to great advantage. Trump’s bombast is harmless, if annoying to some, but there are those who tire of it, and they vote just like the rest of us.,

Tucker "can't stand" it?

No. It "bothers" him.

Those are two different things.

And it's a small part of what he said.

His main point was that constant boasting will hurt Trump with voters.

It very well could.

You don't need a crystal ball to see that.

A lot of stories are designed to provoke a response and don't really have much to do with what people actually say.

I liked tucker on Fox... did not like the libs he had on and got into a loud argument with them.

My view of him is now changed (if this turns out to be true)... anyone who does not appreciate Trump, has to do so on the basis of just plain silly things they find fault with. If the person can’t look beyond his own pickadillies and appreciate the good Trump is doing... he’s not too smart and too uppity to be of any good.

I sometimes watch The Five... depends.. and then don’t care for anything till tucker.. which was okay if I missed it... then watch Hannity as long as he hits on the investigations ... tucker is now out ... I have better things to do than to be entertained by anyone who does not back our President.

These threads are off-putting. I agree with you and Tucker that Trump’s braggadocio is unpleasant and facepalm inducing. I also agree with the posters who say that this is part of Trump and he is too old to change his personality at this point. Even if it hurts his goals.

But it is a bit nauseating to see all the FReepers who worship the President to such an extent that they can’t recognize any faults at all.

Part of Trump’s ego, his confidence to dare to try, is what makes him heroic in trying to save our constitution/country. But his bragging and sensitivity to insult is not worth defending.

So Trump boasts? How about the back-slapping, self-congratulation, and preening that goes on 24/7 among the chatter-boxes on the “news” shows??? They make me laugh till I cry! :_D
