Trump: I’m “Shocked And Surprised” At Carlson’s Firing

“Well, I’m shocked. I’m surprised. He’s a very good person and a very good man, and very talented as you know. And he had very high ratings. So, we’re just learning about it almost as we speak. I just said, ‘Wow, that was something, that’s a big one.’

“I don’t know if it was voluntary or was it somebody fired him? But I think Tucker’s been terrific. He’s been – especially over the last year or so – he’s been terrific to me.

“I was surprised that they made a settlement on that case.But the Tucker situation again, you don’t know if it’s a firing. Maybe he left because he wasn’t being given his free rein. He wants free rein, maybe. But I was surprised by it.” – Trump, last night on Newsmax.
