Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville claims that President Trump's White House is even more chaotic than during his first term, citing internal sources who describe it as 'unhinged'. Carville urges Democrats to adopt a 'strategy of retreat,' comparing it to Muhammad Ali's boxing tactic, and let Trump exhaust himself with his own rhetoric.
“Internal stuff. I’ve heard, you know, secondhand, people that have been to the White House. … It’s nuttier than you even think!” the longtime Democratic strategist said 19 minutes into Monday’s episode of the
“This is secondhand information,” Carville continued. “Some of it is gossip, but pretty reliable people are coming out of there saying, ‘Man,’ you know, ‘bleep this!’” When host Acosta pointed out that internal sources described Trump’s White House as being pretty unhinged “the first time around,” Carville explained why it’s even worse now.
“There was a lot of resistance in the government. There’s none this time, he knows that,” Carville said of Trump’s first term, before listing former Cabinet members like“They’re not calling each other and saying ‘Shit, what are we doing here?,’” Carville said of Trump’s current staff. “And he’s aware, he’s got literally planted people. And however bad you think the ‘headline people’ are, the undersecretaries and the administrative assistants, and the this and the that, are ten times worse.
Although earlier in his podcast interview with Acosta, Carville admitted that he’s “panicked” about Trump’s White House, he did offer what he thinks is Democrat’s best play to combat the president’s more unhinged ideas, like“He has no intention of following up on any of it,” Carville said, 11 minutes into the episode. “He couldn’t find the Panama Canal zone if you gave him GPS and a hundred years, alright? I really don’t think he could point to Greenland on a map.
