Tucker Says Trump Might Not Want to be Re-Elected

In a blistering attack on Trump hiking gas taxes, which directly impacts working class rural people who voted for him, Tucker Carlson suggested that the president might not want to be re-elected.

“Everyone assumes he wants to be re-elected, most presidents do, but what if Donald Trump decided he’s had enough?” asked Tucker, adding, “Too many investigations, too much nastiness, too few upsides.”

“It wouldn’t be a crazy conclusion, how would you like to spend your seventies locked in the White House?” Carlson pondered.

The Fox News host pulled no punches by suggesting Trump “wants to lose” because of the policies he is enacting which go against the platform he ran on. These include;

– Half a billion dollars in medicare cuts
– Slashing funding for the e-verify program, allowing companies to keep hiring illegal aliens
– Bringing in more low skilled workers via legal immigration, pushing down the wages of the people who voted for him
– Releasing drug dealers onto the streets
– Continuing the “pointless military intervention in Syria”
– Raising gas taxes, economically impacting the poorest who voted for Trump

Tucker said that if Trump enacted all those policies, it could only mean he “just wants out,” making the point that numerous other things, such as foreign lobbying, capital gains, and giant corporations like Amazon, which uses public roads to deliver its packages, could be taxed instead of gas.

By “hiking taxes on working class rural people,” Tucker suggested that Trump was abandoning his base and wants to “retire early”.

Donald Trump to Counter-Program Second GOP Debate by Appearing with Striking Auto Workers in Detroit

Former President Donald Trump will appear with striking union members of the United Auto Workers (UAW) in Detroit, Michigan, as his opponents squabble for the spotlight on the debate stage on September 27, according to a report that multiple sources have confirmed to Breitbart News.

The New York Times first reported on Trump’s forthcoming appearance with Detroit auto workers striking against the big three automakers — General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis — which will serve as counter-programming to the GOP debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.

The GOP frontrunner will deliver a “prime-time speech before current and former union members,” according to the Times, as they strike for higher wages following 40-year-high inflation and seek commitments from automakers and the federal government that Biden’s electrical vehicle agenda will not threaten their jobs or pay, as Breitbart News has documented.

Multiple Trump aides have confirmed the 45th president’s plans to Breitbart News.

Trump, who regularly takes a majority of support in independent national GOP primary polls, is keeping with the strategy his campaign employed in the first debate when he skipped the event and instead joined Tucker Carlson for a one-on-one 45-minute interview on the host’s eponymously-named show, Tucker on Twitter.

After battling the counter-programming, which was released at the start of the first GOP debate on August 23 and instantly went viral, debate storylines quickly fell to the wayside when Trump surrendered in Fulton County, Georgia, on his fourth indictment a day later. The arrest produced the now-iconic mugshot of Trump, the first-ever mugshot of a former president of the United States.

Trump’s latest plans further signal his focus on a potential general election rematch with President Joe Biden rather than the Republican primary, as union workers who were long the foundation of the Democrat coalition were pivotal in helping elect him to office in 2016, as Breitbart News’s John Binder emphasized on Saturday:

In 2016, union workers helped propel Trump and his nationalist-populist agenda to the White House — scoring the most support among union households for any Republican presidential candidate since former President Ronald Reagan in 1984.
In 2020, Biden helped widen that gap by taking 57 percent of union households compared to Trump’s 40 percent. Trump could significantly increase his share of union households in a rematch against Biden by registering to vote millions of non-college-educated whites in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania who remain disenfranchised.

Binder’s report highlighted that the Detroit Free Press first revealed that Trump was weighing a visit to Michigan to meet with UAW members striking against the Big Three automakers.
