Tucker Carlson says Trump is 'not capable' and hasn't kept his promises

Fox New host Tucker Carlson set straight any misinformation concerning his views on President Trump: I dont think hes capable, he said during an interview on Tuesday.
Urs Gehriger, an editor at Die Weltwoche, the countrys leading German-language opinion weekly, noted that Carlsons new book, "Ship of Fools, is silent on Trump but comments on his critics. And so, Gehriger jump-started the conversation by asking what Carlson thought of Trumps first two years in office.
Carlson claimed he cannot stand Trumps self-aggrandizement and boasting. Then, when asked whether Trump has kept his promises, the usually quick-witted and long-winded Carlson had just one word: No.

Carlson has often been a measured Trump supporter. But he continued to disparage the president when Gehriger probed for more.
His chief promises were that he would build the wall, defund Planned Parenthood and repeal Obamacare, and he hasnt done any of those things, Carlson said, adding that those goals were probably lost causes. Trump, he said, doesnt understand the system, and his own agencies dont support him.
He knows very little about the legislative process, hasnt learned anything, hasnt surrounded himself with people that can get it done, hasnt done all the things you need to do, so its mostly his fault that he hasnt achieved those things, added Carlson.

He may be stuck with Trump.
