Tucker Carlson Claims Israel Controls ‘Weak’ Trump

July 20, 2026 · 6:03 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“Tucker Carlson branded President Donald Trump a ‘weak’ man who allowed Israel to strong-arm him into the Iran War,” Mediaite reports.

Said Carlson: “I don’t think he’s the most powerful man in the world,’ Carlson said. ‘I have held him directly accountable, it’s his fault, he’s the U.S. president, he was elected. That’s his job, and a huge part of the job is resisting pressure from outside forces.'”

He’s weak. I’m not pretending otherwise. But it’s also a factually verifiable statement that Israel pushed us into this, and Trump allowed them to do that. The secretary of state said himself said that on camera, so this is not like a conspiracy theory. It’s a fact.”
