Commentator Tucker Carlson has repeated a provocative claim about the Trump administration's foreign policy orientation. In a new social media post, Carlson declared that the 'religion' of Donald Trump is 'Israelism,' which he defined as 'the defense of Israel,' and added 'It's not Christianity, clearly.' This marks the latest in a series of critical remarks from Carlson, who has previously accused Trump of mocking Jesus and described the U.S. government's religion as 'Israelism.' The comments come amid heightened U.S. diplomatic activity in the Middle East, including Trump's recent announcement of a ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel.
