MAGA CIVIL WAR: Tucker Carlson Labels Trump a ‘Slave’ to Netanyahu in Brutal BBC Takedown

In a fiery BBC interview that aired Sunday (April 12, 2026), Tucker Carlson unleashed one of the most brutal attacks yet on President Donald Trump.

Appearing on BBC One’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg and speaking to presenter Victoria Derbyshire, Carlson said he now feels “sorry” for Trump, comparing him to a slave:

“I’ve always liked him and still feel sorry for him, as I do for all slaves. He is not free in this moment at all to do what he thinks is best for himself or his country.”

When asked directly if Trump is a slave to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Carlson replied:

“I don’t think it is as simple as he’s under the control of Netanyahu, but you could summarise it that way and you wouldn’t be totally inaccurate.”

Carlson also slammed the U.S. decision to go to war with Iran, calling it “the single biggest mistake that any American president in my lifetime has made.” He claimed the conflict was launched “at the behest and then the demand of Israel” to achieve regime change.

For good measure, he added that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is “every bit as enslaved as Donald Trump is.”

This follows President Donald Trump's own lengthy, insult-filled rant on Truth Social Thursday (April 9–10, 2026), savaging four of his former biggest supporters for opposing the U.S.-Israel military campaign against Iran.

In a lengthy post, Trump branded Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Alex Jones and Megyn Kelly as “nut jobs,” “low IQ losers,” “stupid people” and “losers” who are “not MAGA.” He accused them of betraying the America First agenda and said he doesn’t even return their calls anymore because he’s “too busy on world and country affairs.”

The attacks came after the four podcasters publicly slammed Trump’s Iran policy and questioned his close alignment with Benjamin Netanyahu.
