Tucker Carlson admits he sold Trump on false promises

Jul 08, 2026

A political story that's bad news for Trump, as one of his loudest former backers now says he was misled — a sign of cracks on the right.

  • Tucker Carlson says he pushed Trump to voters based on claims that turned out to be false, and apologized for it.
  • The frustration is that both parties break promises while pouring money into the Pentagon and foreign wars.
  • The pitch now is that ordinary Americans should team up across their differences — even on taxes or gay rights — to fight corruption.
  • The bigger claim is that the whole political system is broken and needs to be torn down and rebuilt "for the people."

Outlook: Expect more right-wing disillusionment with Trump and louder calls to unite ordinary people against both parties.
