Tucker Carlson: Trump ‘Is Not a Great Diplomat,’ ‘Overselling’ the Iran War Like an All-You-Can-Eat Buffet in Atlantic City

‘Obviously, not a dealmaker’
By Grabien Staff

TRANSCRIPT:

CARLSON: "And as of right now, Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz. It did not when this war began. Now it does. So what do we learn from this? Well, we learned that President Trump is not a great diplomat. He’s overselling this like it's an all-you-can-eat buffet in Atlantic City. 'Oh, It’s going to be the best.' And so It’s tempting to kind of lay all the blame at Trump's feet, and on one level it is all his fault. He decided to do this. Whatever pressures he faced, it was his decision, and he has oversold America’s position in this and he is, in some very real way, not good at this. But that would be to minimize the profound nature of this moment. What we're really learning is not simply that Trump is a spotty commander-in-chief and certainly no diplomat and obviously not a deal-maker. If you announce a deal 38 times and it doesn't materialize, you're not a deal-maker. What we're begin to understand, unfortunately for the rest of us, are not just the limits of Trump, but the limits of American power."
