Tucker Carlson is calling for President Donald Trump to be removed from office immediately over alleged reports that the president is considering the possible first use of nuclear weapons against Iran, saying even actively contemplating such a strike should disqualify any president from continuing to serve.

Carlson made the argument while emphasizing that he “strongly opposed” both previous attempts to impeach Trump.

His position, he said, changes when the issue involves the possible initiation of nuclear warfare.

“The second any president actively considers first use of nuclear weapons, that person should be removed from office immediately, because that’s got to be the red line, destroying all of humanity with a nuclear strike,” Carlson said. “So why isn’t there an attempt to remove him from office, like, immediately?”

Carlson’s comments were based on reports and rumors that Trump is weighing a preemptive nuclear strike on Iran. The information provided does not establish that Trump has ordered such an attack or made a final decision to use nuclear weapons.

Carlson nevertheless argued that merely considering a first-use nuclear option should cross a threshold beyond ordinary political or policy disagreement.

“Any leader of any country who suggests first use of nuclear weapons has forfeited his right to lead,” Carlson stated, adding, “anyone who would even tolerate that kind of talk from any of his subordinates or employees is by definition unfit.”

The comments mark an unusually direct challenge from Carlson, who had opposed earlier efforts to remove Trump through impeachment.

Rather than framing his objection around the political disputes that drove those previous proceedings, Carlson focused on the potentially irreversible consequences of nuclear escalation and argued that first-use discussions should trigger an immediate response from Congress.

His demand also comes amid broader criticism of the administration’s war with Iran.

Carlson’s remarks also introduce a sharp distinction between opposition to Trump’s previous impeachment proceedings and his current position.

He said his earlier support for keeping Trump in office does not extend to a scenario in which a president seriously considers launching nuclear weapons first.

His comments did not establish that a preemptive nuclear attack has been approved or is imminent. Instead, Carlson argued that the seriousness of the reported discussions themselves warrants immediate congressional scrutiny and, if confirmed, removal of the president.
