President Trump Responds to Tucker Carlson’s Interview with Nick Fuentes: “Ultimately, the People Have to Decide”

President Trump just responded to Tucker Carlson’s interview with Nick Fuentes, which made a lot of people mad when it came out.

When asked for his opinion by a reporter, President Trump defended Tucker Carlson’s right to interview whoever he wants.

“You can’t tell him who to interview!” President Trump said before encouraging Tucker to “get the word out!”

“Ultimately, the people have to decide,” President Trump stated.

🚨 JUST IN — President Trump had the PERFECT response to @TuckerCarlson’s interview with Nick Fuentes

“You can’t tell him who to interview! If he wants to interview Nick Fuentes… get the word out!”

“Ultimately, the PEOPLE have to decide!”

MSM wanted 47 to CANCEL Tucker and Fuentes (or at least attempt to), but Trump REFUSED.

This is the way. Let the PEOPLE decide!

Well said, Mr. President.

You may not agree with someone’s views, but this is America.

Journalists like Tucker Carlson have the freedom to interview anyone they want, and that’s a very good thing.

The people decide.

Watch it or don’t. That’s your prerogative.

After that clip, President Trump went on to talk about his former meeting with Nick Fuentes at the White House.

He admitted that he did not really know who he was, but that he tagged along with Ye (Kanye) West — both of whom are controversial figures.

Hilariously, President Trump emphasized that he, himself, is “not controversial, so I like it that way.”

Watch this:

In a follow-up question about Nick Fuentes, Trump acknowledges that he met Fuentes with Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, but refuses to disavow Fuentes or specify his role in the GOP, reiterating that Tucker can interview whoever he likes.
