Tucker Carlson on Donald Trump’s ‘Spellbinding’ Ways

I never saw it, nor did I hear about anybody who works for the Trump administration, anybody who was enthusiastically pushing this war on Trump. Going and being like, “You know what? You want to be a truly great — you want to make this country great again? We need a regime change effort in Iran.” And instead, you know, there were a lot of cowardly people, as there always are. And Trump engenders cowardice in the people around him through intimidation. And there is a kind of quality that he has that’s spellbinding. And I think it probably literally is a spell. And the effect is to weaken people around him and make them more compliant and more confused. And I’ve experienced this myself. You spend a day with Trump and sort of like, you’re in this kind of dreamland. It’s like smoking hash or something. It’s interesting, very interesting. And there may be a supernatural component to it. I’m not a theologian, but it’s real, and anyone who’s been around him can tell you it’s real.
