Tucker Carlson to Trump: ‘No president should mock Islam'

Political commentator and journalist Tucker Carlson criticised US President Donald Trump for mocking Islam in his latest social media post, saying that it is an “intentional desecration of beauty and truth, which is the definition of evil”.

On Sunday, Trump unleashed a volley of abuse towards Iran on his social media platform, threatening the destruction of its energy and transport infrastructure.

He signed off the post with “Praise be to Allah”.

Carlson argued that Trump’s behaviour crossed a significant line, shifting from mere political provocation to outright mockery of not only Islam but also of Christianity.

“No president should mock Islam; that’s not your job.”
