Trump's most prominent former media ally is now publicly accusing him of breaking nearly every major campaign promise, and the backlash is tied to Republicans' recent midterm losses.

• Tucker Carlson released a video cataloging Trump's broken promises on inflation, energy prices, and ending the Ukraine war quickly, arguing his flip-flops and the Iran war are the worst foreign policy blunders of his lifetime.
• Gas and food prices are still high despite campaign promises to bring them down fast, and the Iran conflict has reportedly cost the average household close to $2,000 in higher costs.
• Tucker also hit Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, accusing the administration of sitting on files that could expose powerful men, as pressure builds in Congress for a new vote to force release of Epstein records.
• The criticism signals that even parts of the political right are turning against Trump's handling of Israel and the Middle East, with polling showing most Jewish American voters also backed Democrats in the midterms.

Outlook: Expect growing pressure from both the right and left for the Epstein files to be released and for more scrutiny of Trump's economic and foreign policy record heading into the next election cycle.
