For former Fox News host Carlson, the past few months have represented a dizzying reversal.

Along with a handful of other formerly pro-Trump commentators, Carlson has cited his disagreement over foreign policy decisions in the Middle East as a key factor in his decision to part ways with the current administration.

But he wasn’t content with just voicing his opinion online like usual.

Carlson recently announced his plan to form an entirely new political party.

“I’m going to help build a third party. There should be a good-faith effort to figure out what benefits the country,” Carlson said. “I mean, if you make $60,000 a year, you’re degraded. Your life expectancy has gone down, and the promise of your children’s lives is likely gone. No one seems to care. It’s not even a factor.”

He also criticized what he sees as Washington’s focus on overseas issues instead of domestic problems.

“What about Hamas?” Carlson said. “I officially don’t care about Hamas. The U.S. government should have, as its first priority, the welfare of its own people.”

Despite saying he wants to help build a new political party, Carlson stated he has no plans to run for office himself.

“I don’t want to be a candidate,” he said.

Carlson did not provide details about what the proposed third party would look like or when any formal effort to organize it might begin.

Social media reactions suggest he lacks a particularly strong foundation for a major political movement.

President Trump has referred to Carlson as a “nut job” and a “hand flailing fool,” adding: “He was a broken man when he got fired from Fox, and he’s never been the same. Perhaps he should see a good psychiatrist!”
