Trump: Tucker ‘Exactly Right’ — Washington Establishment After Me Because I Stand Up to Their Failed Foreign Policy Agenda

Former President Donald Trump, a 2024 Republican presidential candidate, responded to recent commentary from Tucker Carlson that the Washington establishment hates him because he opposes their failed foreign policy agenda.

“Tucker Carlson — a very good guy — is exactly right. The number one reason the totally corrupt Biden administration and the sick Washington establishment are after me is because I stand up to their failed foreign policy agenda,” he said in a video posted by his campaign on social media, adding:

The one thing Washington cannot forgive is that I put America first — always put America first. I could never help it. I have to do that in order to make America great again. I reject their foolish and disastrous foreign wars, their horrific globalist trade deals, their open border catastrophes, their corruption of our intelligence system, and it’s never been more corrupt. And all of the other betrayals of the American people.

Most recently, the warmongers, globalists, and Deep Staters are absolutely livid. And I refuse to bend the knee to their next endless war in Ukraine. I want peace. They want money and they want conflict, even if it means walking us into the brink of World War III which frankly it is doing and it’s doing it rapidly. I want people to stop dying. I want to end that war. I’ll end that war between those two countries in 24 hours. It won’t even take that long. I will get the war ended, I’ll stop all of those lives from being wasted and lost. And there’ll be no more bombing of Ukraine. There’ll be no more bombing of Russia and everybody will be happy.
