Thoughts??
From Axios:
- But here's an interesting twist: Melania Trump is an advocate for picking Tucker Carlson, the booted Fox News star. She thinks Carlson would make a powerful onstage extension of her husband, a source close to Trump told us. The former first lady has made few campaign appearances this time around — but a Trump-Carlson ticket might encourage her to hit the trail.
- Trump, asked last month about Carlson as a potential V.P., said: "I like Tucker a lot. ... He's got great common sense."
- The idea of Tucker Carlson has been discounted by many people close to Trump because they assume he'd never pick someone who could outshine him. And Trump's staff is convinced (correctly) that Carlson can't be controlled. But the two men talk a lot.
Please note that Axios isn't supporting the idea. Their whole article is a hit piece on The Donald (the outlet had really gone downhill since it was bought out!).
The article talks about Trump building out his Cabinet with vengeful insiders - including Tucker is meant to be another signal to the faithful on the Left to invoke disgust towards Trump.
Others likely to wield power in a second Trump term share a lot in common with Carlson. They're full, proud MAGA warriors, anti-GOP establishment zealots, and eager and willing to test the boundaries of executive power to get Trump's way.
Axios thinks hitching Tucker to the Trump train is an idea Americans won't vote for?
Let it happen, and we'll see how that goes! 😂
