    The “interview” is just cover.

    My bet is Putin is vetting Tucker Carlson for Trump’s running mate.

    Once Tucker kisses the ring, and likely commits a crime (or other misdeeds) on Putin’s orders (to serve as puppet-string kompromat for Putin’s plans), Putin will give the blessing for Trump to announce Tucker Carlson as his VP running mate.

    Then, just imagine a 2028 Presidential bid from Tucker (win or lose in ‘24)…

      I think you are right, been suspecting it for a while. Only reason he wouldn’t is because he doesn’t want to be outshined.

      My bet is Putin is vetting Tucker Carlson for Trump’s running mate.

      Tucker Carlson would be absolutely dead weight on the ticket. Nobody who isn’t already voting for Trump would want that guy anywhere near the White House. He’d be lucky to get Trump’s Communications Director slot.

        He’s media savvy and when he was in front of a camera, had millions of drooling followers who would eat anything he fed them. Don’t underestimate him (or turnip), the cult of personality will fall in line.
