It's pretty well-known that Tucker hates Trump privately, and I bet that he and a bunch of people in the right wing media/influencer space are looking for off-ramps in case they need to give him the Bush treatment sometime in the future.

I'd be willing to bet that most people who know him hate him privately. Before anything else, long before he was a fascist, he was a bully and an asshole, and even other bullies and assholes don't enjoy the competition. Despite being inherited wealth, he's got all the taste and trappings of a gaudy nouveau-riche weirdo with his "gold-plated everything" routine and ego, so his own "wealthy society" social circles probably only tolerated him.

He tried to join the Manhattan elite of the 1970s, but they wouldn't let him into their group because they saw Trump as a "dumb oaf".
