Political Analyst Who Foretold Trump’s Downfall Says It’s Happening Now
James Carville, a seasoned Democratic strategist, said in February that Trump’s government would fall apart, and now he says it has begun to do so—so fast as he anticipated.
The 80-year-old said on The Dan Abrams Show, “It’s collapsing right now. We’re in the midst of a collapse.”
“What I have said very publicly is that Democrats need to play possum. This whole thing is collapsing,” he added.
Carville oversaw Bill Clinton’s first campaign, which helped the Democrats “take” the White House following the Republicans’ 12-year control.
He claims that the president’s numerous executive orders, some of which are illegal, and the dropping approval ratings brought on by the dismissal of thousands of public servants will be the main causes of Trump’s administration’s downfall.
A month after making his predictions, Carville told CNN that he was “wrong” about his earlier prediction in the wake of the controversy over the leaked information on the military operation on Yemen. Top officials unintentionally invited Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, into the meeting.
As anticipated, the Senate Armed Services Committee demanded an independent probe after accidentally asking a journalist to participate in the discussion, which sparked several concerns about national security procedures and the use of unprotected channels for sensitive information.
“It’s before April Fool’s Day – which the Trump administration should make a national holiday because it so accurately represents who they are,” Carville said.
He continued: “We look at what’s happening in the markets, we look at what’s happening on Signal-gate, we look what’s happening all the way around us […] I think the thing is collapsed.”
The strategist added, “Let’s take the middle ground here and say ‘it’s collapsing’ – I’ll meet you half way, but that’s about all I can do.”
He told Fox News that since the “collapse is already underway,” Democrats do not need to be “aggressive” against the Trump administration.
Strategist James Carville added, “Poll numbers are declining. The collapse is already underway. Let’s see when [they] put the Medicaid budget when [they] put the tax, the $4.5 billion, trillion dollars of tax cuts to wealthy people. Just let the ball come to you. We don’t need to be aggressive now.”
