A leader is the bravest man; that&rsquo;s what a leader is. That is true in all human organizations. That is a law of nature. And in that moment [following the assassination attempt], Donald Trump, months before presidential election, became the leader of this nation.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>One of the few speakers at this week&rsquo;s convention who did not read his speech from a teleprompter, Carlson, who is dyslexic, spent much time reflecting on Trump&rsquo;s near brush with death, saying it both marked Trump as a leader and changed him.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Everything was different after that moment. This convention was different, the nation was different, the world was different, Donald Trump was different,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;When he stood up after being shot in the face, bloodied, and put his hand up, I thought at that moment, &lsquo;that was a transformation.&#8217;&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The effect it had on Donald Trump &mdash; he was no longer just a political party&rsquo;s nominee, or a former president, or a future president,&rdquo; Carlson continues. &ldquo;This was the leader of a nation.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>It was a triumphant return to prominence for the media personality, who had been kicked off of his biggest stage just over a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson, 55, has worked at CNN and MSNBC in the past but achieved his greatest fame as a Fox News host from 2016 to 2023. Since being let go from Fox he has remained close to the conservative spotlight by hosting a show on X and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3084043\/tucker-carlson-stigma-backing-trump-disappearing-fast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"giving speeches\">giving speeches<\/a> to right-leaning audiences.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Carlson may have grown closer to Trump&rsquo;s inner circle since his ouster, seen frequently during the Milwaukee GOP convention and even sitting in Trump&rsquo;s VIP box during the first night&rsquo;s festivities. <\/p>\n<p>Continuing with the leadership theme, Carlson more than once mentioned his decades in Washington and the city&rsquo;s culture. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The presidency comes with great power, obviously, but if you think about it, that is a title that is bestowed by a process of some sort, which came be subverted,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;In the end it does not confer by itself, as no title does, legitimacy. Just because you call yourself the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-would-a-legitimate-democratic-presidential-candidate-want-to-get-involved-in-this-chaos\/\" title=\"Why would a legitimate Democratic presidential candidate want to get involved in this chaos?\">president doesn&#038;rsquo<\/a>;t mean that much inherently.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I can call my dog the CEO of Hewlett Packard; it doesn&rsquo;t mean she is,&rdquo; he added. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s true! And you hate to say it, but it is also true that you could take, I don&rsquo;t know, a mannequin or dead person and make him president.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>While he&rsquo;s no stranger to controversy, convention attendees who spoke to the <em>Washington Examiner <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XA3ArrKMFEc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"sang Carlson's praises\">sang Carlson&rsquo;s praises<\/a> as an outspoken voice for the right.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;He doesn&rsquo;t care if you agree with it or not,&rdquo; attendee Nicole Powell said. &ldquo;The reality is we are a society of people with differing opinions, and you should be allowed to express your opinions.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Don Huffines, who traveled to Milwaukee from Dallas, said he loves Carlson&rsquo;s message, which &ldquo;explains it so clearly that this is about good and evil.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Carlson credited Trump&rsquo;s courage with calming the crowd in Pennsylvania after he was grazed by a bullet and said that, counter to warnings from his opponents, Trump&rsquo;s project is about restoring Democracy by giving voters what they want.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>He said vice presidential nominee Sen.
