The hysterical forecast by the ex-primetime Fox News host bolsters Trump's narrative that he is under fire from corrupt, politically-motivated authorities who are out to sabotage his 2024 White House bid.
Tucker Carlson has made an explosive prediction that former president Donald Trump will be assassinated as the next logical step after his indictments.
The grave forecast by the ex-primetime Fox News host bolsters Trump's narrative that he is under fire from corrupt, politically-motivated authorities who are out to sabotage his 2024 White House bid.
His comment came as prominent Russian propagandist Vladimir Solovyov described Carlson himself as a 'dead man walking', suggesting that the US establishment would like to see him gone too.
Speaking with Adam Carolla on the comedian's eponymous YouTube show, Carlson said: 'They indicted him three times, and every single time his popularity rose.'
'If you begin with criticism, then you go to protest, then you go to impeachment, then you go to indictment, and none of them work, what's next? Graph it out, man! We're speeding toward assassination, obviously. No-one will say that, but I don't know how you can't reach that conclusion.

Carlson's comment came as prominent Russian propagandist Vladimir Solovyov described Carlson himself as a 'dead man walking', suggesting that these same vague US authorities would like to see him gone too
'They have decided - permanent Washington, both parties - have decided, that there's something about Trump that's so threatening to them that they just can't have it.'
The 54-year-old Fox host turned Twitter extraordinaire also claimed the US government is getting ready to go to war with Russia - a battle he implied Vladimir Putin's country would win.
Carlson's comments came after he interviewed the 77-year-old former president on X, formerly known as Twitter, last week.
The former Fox host asked Trump directly if he thought he could be killed, given the various investigations he is currently subject to.
'Are you worried that they're going to try and kill you? Why wouldn't they try and kill you? Honestly,' Carlson asked.
'They're savage animals; they're people that are sick,' the former president responded.

Their 46-minute conversation coincided with Trump's eight competitors facing off in the rival Fox-hosted Republican primary debate in Milwaukee, which was viewed by 13 million Americans on cable TV.
The debate was dwarfed by Carlson's Trump interview, which got 238 million 'views' on X.
However, this isn't a direct comparison because X calculates views based on users scrolling past the video and they don't need to watch any of it for the interaction to count as a 'view'.
Trump used his platform to slam Biden's 'skinny legs' in recent beach photos, claiming he doesn't have the mental capacity to win the White House in 2024.
He also claimed he skipped the first Republican presidential debate so he wouldn't get 'harassed' by rivals he said 'shouldn't even be running'.
Meanwhile, Russian propagandist Solovyov echoed a similar sentiment with a deadly prediction for Tucker himself.
The Thursday broadcast of The Evening With Vladimir Solovyov featured several clips of Carlson's hysterical predictions from his interview with Carolla.

Referring to Carlson's comment that the US is preparing for war with Russia and would lose, Solovyov theatrically deemed him a 'dead man walking'.
'Who says that? A dead man walking! He sincerely believes that the next step after the accusations and the declaration of impeachment will be an assassination of Trump,' Solovyov said, according to translations in reports.
'But this man, who is currently the most popular English-speaking journalist, signed his own death warrant!'
Solovyov claimed Carlson's desire to interview Vladimir Putin is the reason he is allegedly disliked by US authorities.
'They will not forgive him for the fact that he strives to interview our president and post the footage on a platform that has no censorship!' he declared.
