US EditionTucker Carlson Denies Suggesting Trump Could Be the ‘Antichrist’ in NYT Interview
Carlson said the exchange reflected his broader criticism of Trump’s Iran policy and social media posts, while the Times played his earlier remarks back to him.
- Conservative podcaster Tucker Carlson denied suggesting President Donald Trump could be the Antichrist during a New York Times interview with journalist Lulu Garcia-Navarro published Saturday, despite the reporter playing a clip of him posing the question.

- When Garcia-Navarro confronted Carlson with his own words, he initially denied the remark; after she played the clip, Carlson backtracked, claiming he was exploring 'unseen forces' rather than stating a precise conviction about Trump.

- The confrontation highlights a deepening rift between the former allies, fueled by disagreements over foreign policy in Iran and Trump's controversial social media posts depicting himself as Jesus Christ.
