Carlson's unexpected confession stemmed from a conversation on his podcast, The Tucker Carlson Show . But it sounds like the reason Carlson is disappointed in Trump is simply that Trump didn't do what he wanted . And there's a lot of Trump \"regret\" right now – from Alex Jones to former Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. But which part of Trump do they regret? And what if what they really want is Trump – but worse ? To dive deeper into this topic, we spoke with Tim Miller. He's a writer-at-large for The Bulwark and host of The Bulwark Podcast . He recently wrote that Democrats should open the tent to people who once supported Trump , but regret it now.
