In a recent rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City, conservative commentator Tucker Carlson offered insight into the growing support for former President Donald Trump, attributing it to the simple yet profound gesture of Trump “liking” his supporters.
Carlson criticized the Democratic Party’s inability to grasp the reasons behind Trump’s enduring popularity, suggesting that their initial theory was to label Trump as “evil” and, by extension, half of the country as equally evil. This flawed reasoning, Carlson alleged, drove the Democrats’ attempts to “destroy the country” over the past four years.
“Donald Trump is going to win,” Carlson confidently declared to the crowd. “What’s striking is that the people who are about to be defeated have no idea why Trump remains so popular. Instead of pausing to reflect on this question, they’ve pursued a misguided strategy that stems from their own biases and misconceptions.”
According to Carlson, the Democratic Party’s failure to understand Trump’s appeal can be attributed to their own misguided assumptions. “It’s astonishing that they didn’t take the time to ask themselves, in a moment of introspection, ‘Why do people like Donald Trump?’ If they had done so, they would have discovered the two primary reasons behind his enduring popularity,” Carlson explained.
The first reason, Carlson emphasized, is that Trump genuinely likes his supporters. This sentiment, he argued, is not something that can be faked. “Affection is something you can’t manufacture,” Carlson noted. “When someone genuinely likes you, it shows in their actions and words.”
In contrast, Carlson expressed skepticism about the sincerity of certain politicians, including Vice President Kamala Harris. Citing an instance where Harris kissed her husband while wearing a mask, Carlson questioned the authenticity of her supposed affection. This skepticism is reflected in recent polls, which have shown a decline in Harris’s favorability among registered voters.
