Commentator Tucker Carlson has repeated a provocative claim about the Trump administration's foreign policy orientation. In a social media post, Carlson declared that the 'religion' of Donald Trump is 'Israelism,' not Christianity, framing it as the 'defense of Israel.' This echoes similar remarks Carlson made earlier this month, which he described as the 'new' official religion of the U.S. government. The comments continue to fuel debate over the influence of pro-Israel sentiment on American foreign policy under the Trump administration.
