The former Fox News host played a clip of Trump telling reporters earlier in the day that he has a 99 percent approval rating in the far-flung country and should thus consider a 'run for prime minister.' Carlson, 57, promptly unloaded on the president for 'bragging about his popularity' in a foreign country. 'Unmentioned is the fact that he’s 35 percent in the United States,' Carlson said. 'The people he pledged to represent, to fight for, whose side he promised to take in every conflict, foreign and domestic.' Carlson claimed it was Israel pulling Trump's domestic approval ratings down. 'The same country that got us into the war,' he continued. Trump made the call to attack Iran alongside Israel in February following years of 'America first' policies. Carlson - a former Trump supporter - has since made his opposition known. 'The last year has not made America great again. The last year has diminished American power at a rate some of us thought was unimaginable,' he said Wednesday, calling the perceived pivot a 'cold-hearted globalist betrayal.' Visibly furious, Tucker Carlson played a clip of the president on the Wednesday installment of his podcast 'So maybe after I do this, I'll go to Israel, run for prime minister,' Trump told reporters in Maryland before attending the US Coast Guard Academy graduation in Connecticut The jab was a quote from a 2020 speech Trump gave criticizing the Obama administration for 'sen[ding] our youth to fight in these crazy, endless wars.' 'That's exactly what it was,' Carlson said after playing the clip. 'One cold-hearted globalist betrayal after another.' 'Charlie Kirk was very upset about this. He was articulate in explaining why he was upset about it, and he sincerely believed that Trump would change it. Trump and people like Thomas Massie,' Carlson continued.
