Democratic strategist James Carville claimed that President Donald Trump is “trying to destroy” the United States and that it’s possible he “hates our country.”
When asked Tuesday by CNN’s Wolf Blitzer how Democrats should react to Trump’s upcoming address to a joint session of Congress, Carville replied that Democrats need to put on a brave face.
“This man is actively trying to destroy the United States, and I think we ought to treat this moment with real gravitas. I think we’ve got a very good selection in Senator Slotkin (Mich.) to deliver the rebuttal. But my advice is either don’t go or go and sit on your hands and look grim, because the country is in a grim position right now. I hope the Democrats act like that,” Carville said.
He went on to say that he’s come to believe that Trump “hates” the United States, citing his imposition of tariffs against Mexico and Canada and his smackdown of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the Oval Office last week.
“People are flummoxed, and I am too because I’ve come to think maybe Donald Trump hates the United States,” Carville said.
“North America, for the past 20 years, has been an economic powerhouse. I mean, if you look at the economic power of Canada, the United States and Mexico, it’s pretty impressive. You know, I don’t know, because you try to explain why is he doing this? Why is he doing this to Zelensky? Why is he voting with North Korea and Russia and, God knows, Belarus and the United Nations? I just can’t get it out of my mind that I think this man is — we have to consider the possibility that our president hates our country.”
“People say no, he’s just full of resentment or something and that that could be true, but that doesn’t explain why he’s going out of his way to hurt the country at every juncture that he can. I mean, to the point of siding with North Korea and Belarus,” he added.
This comes days after Carville accused Trump of being afflicted with syphilis after the disastrous Oval Office blowup with Zelensky.
Given Carville’s string of previously unhinged (and inaccurate) statements regarding Trump and the 2024 election, perhaps it’s time for the Democratic Party to dismiss Carville’s takes altogether.
But then again, Carville’s over-the-top anti-Trump rhetoric does fall in line with the rest of the current party.
For example, over the weekend former Obama National Security Advisor Susan Rice said Trump wanted to hand Europe and Ukraine over to Putin on a “silver platter,” and Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said Trump’s White House has “become an arm of the Kremlin.”
Additionally, 22 Democrats were caught on Tuesday reading off of the exact same script bashing Trump and Elon Musk in separate video posts on X.
