Tucker Carlson: Trump Wasn’t Elected to Pick Fights with TV Hosts

‘That’s the real tragedy of today’s tweets — They are a diversion’

CARLSON: "Passive-aggressive is the universal currency of the left. It won’t be long before NBC’s claim status. No surprise there. That is no defense of these tweets. They were stupid and they were counterproductive. They achieved no policy objective. They elevated eight televised sideshow to a cultural icon status. They brought joy to the left while embarrassing the president’s supporters. They allowed liberals to crow about the degradation of public square even if they finance their campaigns with donations from Hollywood. Let’s be right — they don’t hit him because he’s vulgar, they applauded — they think Lena Dunham as an artist. The hired Kathy griffin. They had to trump because he’s a nationalist. He says the interests of America and its people ought to come first. That’s fine. Let them hate him for that. The rest of the country loves it. That’s the real tragedy of today’s tweets. They are a diversion. When the president talks about the people who elected him, he wins. When he talks about himself, the left does. The president was not elected to pick fights with TV host. He was elected to push his agenda that the country needs. But no one was offering. In some cases watching tonight, here’s a quick recap of what the campaign was about. Secure the border. Take America out of pointless wars. Replace ObamaCare with a system that expands affordable coverage for the middle class. Bring jobs to the heartland. Push back against the vultures on Wall Street. That’s what people voted for Donald Trump. That’s what he ought to do. The press doesn’t like it, ignore the. The members of the staff try to divert his energies to other agendas, fire them. Rarely has a president been elected with a clear message, a clear mission. Restore the middle class. If you stick to that, he will win. If he doesn’t, won’t.
