Trump’s inner circle, and he delivered an unscripted monologue straight out of his old Fox News show, complete with off-color jokes and dark visions of a nation at risk of falling into tyranny should Mr. Trump not prevail in November. “You could take, I don’t know, a mannequin, a dead person, and make them president,” Mr. Carlson said to laughter.
