FINALLY: Trump Trounces Tucker.
President Trump posts an article by Douglas Murray that highlights Tucker Carlson's extremism, embrace of Islamists, and America Last:

Trump posted a link to Douglas Murray’s piece, which absolutely eviscerated Tucker, within about half an hour after his speech to the nation. Obviously, it was top of mind, and the two events are obviously linked directly in his mind.
Trump is at war, and Tucker is a traitor to both the President and the nation. That is the message, and I have to say that everybody I know, at least, believes it.
Murray didn’t hold back, and by extension, Trump isn’t either.
In politics, it is often the people who you think have your back who end up stabbing you there.
Nobody knows that better than Donald Trump, who has been stabbed in the back more times than Julius Caesar — yet has still survived.
This week, part of the noisy right-wing online podcast-sphere again turned on the president.
Leading the virtual charge, again, was Trump’s one-time cheerleader, Tucker Carlson.
By not addressing Tucker directly and allowing Murray to do so, Trump is sending a second message: you are dead to me.
Perhaps Trump could “award” Tucker an Iron Cross, as FDR did to a reporter with the New York Daily News in 1942 when he disapproved of his journalism.
