It’s a tribute to the protean nature of Donald Trump that the new Never Trumpers are some of his most fervent former supporters.

Tucker Carlson thinks Donald Trump might be the Antichrist and had his brother Buckley on for a recent episode of his podcast where they lambasted Trump the man and president. Meanwhile, Sohrab Ahmari, who co-wrote an essay in 2022 declaring of Trump, “He’s Still the One,” now thinks that “Trump Was Never the One.”
