Remember those films we cold war kids were shown in school, the ones that said if we huddled under our school desk, we would be saved when the Russkies nuke the US?
Tucker Carlson Calls for Trump to Be Removed From Office
Once a fervent MAGA supporter, Carlson said during an interview with NPR published Thursday morning that Trump, 80, should have been "removed from office immediately" after he threatened a "nuclear attack" on Iran.
"It's enough for me to say he should be removed from office," Carlson told NPR host Steve Inskeep.
The former Fox News host was likely referring to the president's threat toward Iran in April, when he warned on Truth Social that "whole civilization will die tonight" if Tehran did not meet his demands. Since then, however, Trump has made threats of a similar vein, including during his speech at the United Nations on Thursday, where he said he could "annihilate" the Islamic Republic.
"He should have been removed from office by his own cabinet secretaries the moment he threatened a nuclear attack," Carlson added, referring to invoking the 25th Amendment, which allows the vice president and a majority of the president's cabinet to declare him unfit for duty.
"I said to Trump, you know, four days before the war started, 'if you do this, you know, the United States will be kicked out of the Gulf," Carlson recalled. "'The American Empire will collapse...your legacy will be destroyed along with your party.'"
He then alleged that Trump replied: "Yes. You're right, but in the end we all die anyway. So it doesn't matter."yahoo.com - Tucker carlson calls trump removedThere has reportedly been chatter, for some time, in the US and Israel, about "tactical nukes". With both US and Israeli interceptor missile inventories depleted, Iran could, theoretically, launce an attack so massive Israeli defenses would be overwhelmed and Israel suffer a lot of damage. Why hasn't Iran done it? Probably deterred by the chance of Israel responding with nukes.
