President Donald Trump criticized conservative commentator Tucker Carlson in a Friday interview with Jewish radio host Sid Rosenberg, saying he ended their relationship several months ago because Carlson's comments had crossed a line. The discussion was prompted by Vice President JD Vance's statement that he still considers Carlson a friend despite political disagreements. Rosenberg warned that the issue could become a challenge for Vance if he seeks to succeed Trump in 2028, noting Carlson's past comments about Trump being "the Antichrist." Trump did not criticize Vance or say he was wrong to maintain the friendship. Instead, Trump described Carlson as "very inconsistent," a "fair weather guy," and said he "dumped him a few months ago." Trump pointed to Carlson's criticism of conservative radio host Mark Levin as an example of remarks he objected to. Trump also said he believes Carlson "never really liked" him and that they had a "very bumpy relationship." The exchange highlighted a difference between Trump and Vance's views on political relationships.
