But he claimed those around Trump often end up supporting whatever the president wants because he has a quality “that’s spellbinding.”

“And I think it probably literally is a spell,” Carlson continued. “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 you’re in this kind of dreamland. It’s like smoking hash or something. It’s interesting, very interesting.”

So the iran war happened because folks were high on trump's... aura.
...
What is even happening anymore.

I feel the same way taking care of my elderly dog with dementia at 3am, I get it

I think it's probably more because talking to Trump is like trying to talk to someone who's high as fuck, and making no sense. To a sober observer, that conversation is meaningless.

The "not" in "nottheonion" keeps astounding me.

Wasn’t it like two weeks ago Tucker was regretting voting for trump?

Edit: yep

This comes from a recent interview you can listen to here or read here.

The absolutely most interesting thing from this interview is not the hash smoking detail.

The part that is more important is that Carlson states early on in the interview that he feels that the American president was being blackmailed by Israel into engaging in the Iran war. Carlson basically comes out and implies that the president is compromised and manipulated and knows it, and he had no choice. He doesn't specifically speculate on how they are controlling Trump. But he says that he's shocked at the media failure to investigate this. Its really worth listening to this section of the interview. He met Trump 3X and deeply discussed Iran in the weeks before the fighting.

The only thing that comes immediately to mind is that Israel has the Epstein files and are threatening to release them. But it could be something else of course.

Probably the off-gassing coming from a full diaper 🧷

Da fuk kinda dabs is Carlson smokin'?

Diaper bong?

So... Tucker Carlson knows what smoking hash feels like?

The stench of the congealed feculence from that orange child rapist will do that.

He does have a supernatural ability to function without a brain.

That's one way to describe the effects of his body odor

I used to lump Fucker Tarlson into the "intelligent grifting liar" box, but recently I've been thinking that steeping his brain in his own lies and the fascist con-o-sphere for the past 20 years has degraded his brain to the "high on his own supply" category.

corned beef hash?

It’s because of the smell right?

So he's got jobs' reality distortion field. If only he used it to scam VCs out of money like every other con artist these days instead of creating the fourth reich.

"smells bad and makes me tired" is my main takeaway from weed about 90% of the time

This was actually a pretty interesting interview. The dude is unredeemable but I was surprised by a lot of his opinions.

So the cult of personality is speed running North Korean propaganda now I geuss.

It would be pretty incredible hanging out with this guy and just thinking how the fuck did you ever get this far? You can barely manage a full sentence or basic hygiene. I've smoked "hash" that can give you this dark paralyzing paranoia. I imagine it would feel something like that.

Smokin that brown bomber

Way I hear it, Trump definitely produces a miasma.
