[49040] Political criticism online: Support for Trump versus attacks on Tucker Carlson
The web activist catturd2 expresses enthusiastic support for the Trump presidency, while harshly criticizing Tucker Carlson and calling him a 'doomer' who has lost his influence.
Tensions in political discourse on the American right
In a series of posts from May 4, 2026, catturd2 – an account with a distinct pro-Trump line – presents an optimistic view of the state of the country under the Donald Trump administration. He claims he is "enjoying every moment" of the current presidency and refuses to allow what he calls "Doomer Grifters" to influence his worldview. According to him, he intends to continue this approach for the next 2.5 years, referring to the president's critics as "easily manipulated losers" according to catturd2.
At the same time, the same account directed harsh criticism toward media figure Tucker Carlson. catturd2 claims that Carlson has undergone a process that has turned him into a "crazy" person and that he is now a "boring" figure lacking influence, who spreads problematic messages. The account went further, claiming that Carlson is "having a nervous breakdown," and noted that he cannot listen to him for more than five seconds without reaching this conclusion.
Catturd2's words received significant exposure with over 229,000 cumulative views. Commentators point out that this is further evidence of a split within the conservative stream in the US, as staunch Trump supporters are now working to undermine the standing of other right-wing figures who do not align with the administration's official line.
