Decoding The Double-Speak Of Tucker Carlson
Unpacking 8 Fox News talking points

After the recent revelations of Tucker Carlson’s true feelings about former President Donald Trump, we are in a better position to now decode the superstar anchor’s double-speak he used to deliver on a nightly basis about the former president on the beloved Fox News.
Let’s have a look below at the sly, foxy, cagey little hidden meanings behind the superstar anchor’s top eight talking points below.
Tucker Talking Point #1:
Donald Trump was the greatest president this country has ever seen.
What Tucker meant by this was:
“Donald Trump is a demonic force, a destroyer. His entire presidency is an unmitigated disaster.”
Tucker Talking Point #2:
Donald Trump created jobs and built infrastructure, like the great wall on the Mexican border.
What Tricky Tucker really meant by this was:
“What he’s good at is destroying things. He’s the undisputed world champion of that.”
Tucker Talking Point #3:
Donald Trump is the embodiment of the American Dream: A successful business man who built real estate on the back of a million dollar loan from his father.
Reading between the lines, that teaser Tucker was really implying:
“All of his businesses fail.”
Tucker Talking Point #4:
What’s not to love about Donald Trump?
This can only mean one thing:
“I hate Trump passionately.”
Tucker Talking Point #5:
If this election wasn’t rigged, we would get a glorious second term from Donald Trump.
What Tucker was really insinuating was:
“We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can’t wait”
Tucker Talking Point #6:
Name one thing Joe Biden has done that Donald Trump didn’t do ten times better?
Unpacking this one, Tucker was really telling all of us:
“We’re all pretending we’ve got a lot to show for Trump’s four years in office, because admitting what a disaster it’s been is too tough to digest. But come on. There really isn’t an upside to Trump.”
Tucker Talking Point #7:
President Trump handled the country like he handled his businesses: shrewdly, successfully, and skillfully.
If you look closely enough, Tucker is winking as he says this, which can only mean that he is telling us:
“Trump’s business talent is to destroy things. He could easily destroy us if we play it wrong.”
Tucker Talking Point #8:
Bill O’Reilly was one of Fox News’ most talented anchors.
What Cagey Carlson really meant by this:
“Bill O’Reilly’s success was built on the perception that he really was who he claimed to be. There was always a deep phoniness at the center of his schtick.”
Now we are in a better position going forward to always look for the hidden meanings of Tucker Carlson’s ‘factual’, factional, fractional, foxy News bites.
