Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson warned in an interview with conservative commentator and author Dan Bongino that the establishment may be preparing to assassinate former President Donald Trump in a desperate move to stop his political momentum.
Carlson emphasized that Trump’s political opponents are prepared to do anything to make sure the former president does not take back the White House.
Tucker charted out whether circumstances are accelerating toward a possible Trump assassination, which is looking more likely due to the former president’s soaring popularity.
“In the case of Trump, they started with protests, they moved to impeachment, now they’re at indictment. None of it has worked,” Carlson said.
“What’s next? What is, what could possibly be next?” Carlson said.
“If you felt, and you really believe it, and a lot of them do, that the worst thing that could happen to the country, and more specifically, to you in the professional class is to have Donald Trump as president — and everything you have tried has failed, and they have been accelerating steps – protests, impeachment, indictment – like, how many more arrows do you have in your quiver?”
“And what’s the next one? And of course it’s assassination,” Carlson said.
Tucker said it is “not crazy” to predict an assassination of Trump, considering that “assassination happens around the world.”
He highlighted a recent conversation with the former president of Haiti regarding the assassination of his successor in bed at the presidential palace.
“People have been assassinated in this country,” Carlson said of the United States.

“Far more often than we’re willing to admit.”
Carlson spoke with Trump about a potential assassination but said he “did not engage” with the subject.
While Carlson said he does not know what Trump makes of the possibility of an ‘assassination,’ he told the former president is “smart, so he must know that it’s true.”
“If you want to know what’s true, just look at the things that you aren’t allowed to say,” Carlson said.
“You’re not allowed to say them not because they’re conspiracy theories or lies,” Carlson said.
“You’re not allowed to say them precisely because they are not conspiracy theories or lies.”
“They are true. And that is true. Period.”
Last year, Megyn Kelly voiced fears that the demonization of Trump could eventually lead to his assassination.
During an episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show” on YouTube, Kelly was joined by former Secret Service agent and author of “The Gift of Failure,” Dan Bongino, as the pair discussed the portrayal of Trump and its potential escalation.
“You heard Tucker asked Trump about it when he interviewed him,” Kelly said, referring to an August interview between Trump and Tucker Carlson.
“Whether Trump is worried, whether there’s a realistic possibility, the left is going to so meltdown as his power rises, as he rises toward a second term … that they try to do something to him, God forbid, or that they try to do something to our country,” she added.
