Tucker Carlson claimed spending time with President Donald Trump makes you feel like you’ve been “smoking hash” — and attributed it to a mystical and/or “supernatural component” the president has. But Carlson said he cannot be sure of the exact reason Trump makes people in his orbit experience a hash-like high, because he is “not a theologian.”
Those interesting comments were made during a lengthy interview with The New York Times on Saturday.
Carlson was talking about the president’s mindset leading up to the Iran war — something the ex-Fox News star has heavily criticized Trump for — and said there were not a lot of people around Trump pushing for him to launch Operation Epic Fury.
But he claimed those around Trump often end up supporting whatever the president wants because he has a quality “that’s spellbinding.”
“And I think it probably literally is a spell,” Carlson continued. “And the effect is to weaken people around him and make them more compliant and more confused. And I’ve experienced this myself. You spend a day with Trump and you’re in this kind of dreamland. It’s like smoking hash or something. It’s interesting, very interesting.”
He added “there be a supernatural component to it. I’m not a theologian, but it’s real, and anyone who’s been around him can tell you it’s true.”

Trump’s supposed unearthly powers were a topic of conversation at other points in Carlson’s interview with NYT reporter Lulu Garcia-Navarro. He denied questioning on his YouTube show whether Trump was the “antichrist” — even after Garcia-Navarro brought up a specific example of him doing so last month.
There were other standout moments from the interview, including Carlson saying he regretted interviewing Nick Fuentes and Carlson floating a sinister reason for Trump loosening restrictions on medical marijuana.
Carlson said it was so Trump can “lower testosterone levels even more, [and] make people more passive.”
