    The “interview” is just cover.

    My bet is Putin is vetting Tucker Carlson for Trump’s running mate.

    Once Tucker kisses the ring, and likely commits a crime (or other misdeeds) on Putin’s orders (to serve as puppet-string kompromat for Putin’s plans), Putin will give the blessing for Trump to announce Tucker Carlson as his VP running mate.

    Then, just imagine a 2028 Presidential bid from Tucker (win or lose in ‘24)…
