Tucker Carlson recalled that former President Donald Trump was ogling the 'beer girls' at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf resort in that viral photo alongside Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Carlson was asked about that image by his biographer Chadwick Moore, for the upcoming book, Tucker, which will be released on August 1.
The trio was captured watching the LIV Golf Bedminster invitational last July, with Carlson clearly laughing at something the former president had said.
'He was talking about the beer girls,' Carlson recalled. '"Look at those beer girls? Can you believe they have legs like that? You can't make legs like that, that's genetics! The human genome explains that,"' the former Fox News host quoted Trump as saying.
Carlson thought the commentary was hilarious.

'That's what he was saying, and I love that. You're telling me something that amuses the hell out of me. Because it's rooted in truth and it's unexpected. I'm the perfect audience for that,' Carlson said.
The television host who is now hosting a program on Twitter noted that it was his first time at a golf tournament - he doesn't play the sport because, 'I'm left-handed and have no coordination.'
The book, simply titled, Tucker, is written by journalist Chadwick Moore who spent 1,000 hours interviewing Carlson at his homes in Maine and Florida
'But, like I say, Trump feels a moral obligation to entertain the people in his world. He's the patriarch and everyone in his orbit needs to be entertained by him,' Carlson continued. 'And I agree that's absolutely an obligation the head man has, and people who don't live up to it are falling down on the job.'
Text messages from the Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit against Fox News Channel revealed some not-so-flattering commentary about Trump from Carlson.
In one message - typed out a day after the January 6 Capitol attack - Carlson called Trump a 'demonic force' and a 'destroyer.'
Moore suggested that Carlson's complaints shouldn't have come as a surprise to 'astute Tucker-watchers,' because the Fox host 'seemed to like Trumpism while studiously keeping Trump at arm's length.'
'Do I like Trump? I love Trump,' Carlson told Moore in one of their sit-downs after the text messages had been revealed. 'But there are so many levels to Trump. He was a completely ineffectual president. He couldn't manage my household. He's not a manager, and that's very frustrating to watch.'
Carlson placed some of the blame on the people Trump hired.
'So that was very frustrating to watch, extremely frustrating, infuriating to watch his stated agenda get subverted by people who work for him. It was crazy. Like watching someone's kids burn his own house down and he can't do anything about it,' Carlson said.
'I really hated watching that and I was mad about it,' he continued to Moore.
That being said, Carlson described having dinner with Trump as 'one of the great joys in the world.'
'If you were to assemble a list of people to have dinner with, Trump would be in the top spot,' Carlson said. 'He's beyond belief. He's a television figure. He was the number-one star at NBC.'
'So how do you get to that? By being an incredibly amusing, charming, dynamic person,' he continued. 'Trump at that level is just absolutely the best. So funny, so unbelievably eccentric and monomaniacal in a hilarious way. So nice, too.'
Carlson said he always viewed Trump to be like an 'innkeeper,' a 'maitre d' an a 'wonderful host.'
'Funny, outrageous, absolutely on his own planet,' Carlson described.
Becoming more critical again, Carlson said that Trump was not a 'political person.'
'I don't think he understands politics that well,' Carlson said.
Carlson said that he, too, wouldn't understand how to put together a presidential campaign, but didn't think Trump did either.
'He's just a guy who wanted the prestige of being president, was frustrated with how things were going, and just decided he was going to wing it and see what happens. But I think Trump's execution mistake was imagining he's a political tactician, which he's clearly not, at all,' Carlson said.
'He's way out of his depth in that,' the ex-Fox host added.
Carlson did believe that Trump had the right attributes to be good at foreign policy.
He liked how the ex-president often stated what he considered the obvious.
'He was the first one to ask, what's the point of NATO? And everyone called him an idiot. But if we go to war with Russia, won't they just go to China? And then you have the largest landmass teamed up with the largest population,' said Carlson, who has been extremely critical of the Biden administration's support for Ukraine.
'Trump does have a genius that bypasses a lot of the detail, and it doesn't always serve him,' he said. 'You can't run the Department of Justice that way, but you can inform people's thinking in a really important way.'
