Hunter Biden sat for a lengthy two-hour interview with Tucker Carlson that premiered today, during which he called President Donald Trump an "existential threat" to America while slightly criticizing people who say he's merely a symptom of broader political rot.
"The one existential threat that I think that we face, as a country, is Donald Trump," he told Carlson. "I am not this believer that Trump is merely the symptom of a disease. I believe that Trump is central to why this disease has gone from a local epidemic to a pandemic in the United States of America."

Carlson offered the ongoing war in Iran as evidence of one of "the big failures" of the Trump administration, then confusingly suggested that a lack of criticism from Democrats, notably Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), amounts to condoning the war:
"I mean you could say lots of things about Trump that are bad, but getting us into a war we can't win, in which Americans are dying, in Iran, that will only diminish America's power and bankrupt us — I mean, that's the only exit — really. And make Iran stronger. And, like, Chuck Schumer is like 'Yeah it's bad,' but of course he endorses it."
