Trump on Tucker Carlson: 'I dumped him a few months ago. He said some very bad things'

During a Friday interview with Jewish radio host Sid Rosenberg, former US President Donald Trump stated he "dumped" conservative commentator Tucker Carlson "a few months ago" due to Carlson saying "very bad things." Trump clarified that his decision to end their relationship was not primarily about comments Carlson made about him personally, but rather about "a lot of other things," citing Carlson's attacks on conservative Jewish radio host Mark Levin as an example. Trump described his relationship with Carlson as "very on and off" and "very bumpy," noting Carlson was "very inconsistent" and "never really liked me." The discussion arose after Vice President JD Vance maintained his friendship with Carlson despite political disagreements, a stance Rosenberg warned could challenge Vance's potential 2028 presidential bid, especially given Carlson's past remarks, including calling Trump "the Antichrist." Trump, however, did not criticize Vance's decision to remain friends with Carlson.
