<p>Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> reacted to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fox-news" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox</a> News <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-tucker-carlson-out-at-fox-news-channel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">parting ways</a> with top-rated host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tucker-carlson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tucker Carlson</a> and explained his feud with Florida Republican Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> in a <a href="https://www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/donald-trump-tucker-carlson-foxnews/2023/04/24/id/1117352/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wide-ranging interview</a> on Monday.</p>
<p>Trump spoke with Newsmax&#8217;s Greg Kelly, who began their discussion with questions about Carlson&#8217;s high-profile departure weeks after the Fox News host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-claims-court-officials-apologized-to-him-had-tears-pouring-down-their-eyes-a-beautiful-day" target="_blank" rel="noopener">conducted an interview</a> with the former president.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, I&#8217;m shocked, I&#8217;m surprised,&#8221; Trump said of Carlson&#8217;s ouster. &#8220;He&#8217;s a very good person, a very good man, and very talented, as you know, and he had very high ratings.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump said he did not know if Carlson left voluntarily or got fired but speculated Carlson &#8220;wants free rein, maybe.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">TRUMP COMMENTS ON TUCKER: ‘45’ tells Greg Kelly his thoughts on Fox News and Tucker Carlson parting ways. “I just said, wow, that was something, that&#39;s a big one.” <a href="https://t.co/XIWMVaXfpB">pic.twitter.com/XIWMVaXfpB</a></p>
<p>&mdash; NEWSMAX (@NEWSMAX) <a href="https://twitter.com/NEWSMAX/status/1650672221306896385?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 25, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Fox News <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-tucker-carlson-out-at-fox-news-channel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced Monday</a> that the network and Carlson &#8220;agreed to part ways,&#8221; and the host&#8217;s last show was Friday.</p>
<p>“We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor,&#8221; Fox News said in a statement, adding that &#8220;Fox News Tonight&#8221; would air live at 8 p.m. ET as an interim show helmed by &#8220;rotating&#8221; network personalities until a new host is named.</p>
<p>Carlson ended his last show by telling viewers he would be back on Monday. As of press time, Carlson has yet to comment on his situation publicly.</p>
<p>Sources <a href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2023-04-24/tucker-carlson-is-out-at-fox-news" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told The Los Angeles Times</a> that the decision to push out Carlson and his producer Justin Wells came from Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch and that the exit is related to a discrimination lawsuit filed by former network producer Abby Grossberg.</p>

<p>Later in the interview, Trump talked about the 2024 election and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeSantis</a>, who is widely expected to enter the contest for the GOP nomination — a move that would set them up to clash.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">“Right now, I&#39;m very down on [DeSantis],” former president Donald Trump tells Greg Kelly. </p>
<p>“I am very disappointed in him because I&#39;m a loyal person, maybe to a fault.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/0Zjn8JBWIO">pic.twitter.com/0Zjn8JBWIO</a></p>
<p>&mdash; NEWSMAX (@NEWSMAX) <a href="https://twitter.com/NEWSMAX/status/1650683545839620097?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 25, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;Right now, I&#8217;m very down on him,&#8221; Trump said of DeSantis.</p>
<p>Trump explained that he views DeSantis toying with the idea of a presidential campaign right now as a betrayal because he endorsed DeSantis to be Florida governor.</p>
<p>&#8220;A lot of people said loyalty doesn&#8217;t mean anything. To me, loyalty means a lot,&#8221; Trump said.</p>
<p>Although there were no insights into who Trump might pick as a running mate, he did downplay the significance of choosing one, at least during the campaign.</p>
<p>People &#8220;vote for the one person,&#8221; Trump said.</p>
<p>Trump also mocked President Joe Biden, who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-makes-reelection-bid-official-at-age-80" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made his re-election campaign official</a> on Tuesday, for opting to go with a video announcement.</p>
<p>&#8220;This way he can do it four or five times so he gets it right,&#8221; Trump quipped.</p>
