Carville Makes Bold Prediction About Trump Resignation
The Ragin’ Cajun sounded off on Trump in a tirade full of strong language and sharp takes.
Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville believes Donald Trump’s presidency will effectively end after the midterms, predicting a blue wave that may prompt Trump to outright call it quits.
“You’re gonna have a terrible, terrible existence, and it’s an existence that you richly, richly deserve,” Carville said on his Politicon YouTube channel this week, addressing Trump.
Assuming a Democratic sweep occurs, something prediction markets believe is highly likely in the House, Carville said he believes Democrats will use their majority to launch probes into Trump and his children.

Such investigations may eventually lead to Trump resigning, Carville predicts. He says such a measure may be necessary as part of a ”deal” with Vice President JD Vance, who could then offer Trump a presidential pardon.
Should the seemingly far-flung possibility become reality, Carville said he is confident Vance would say yes to that arrangement.

“He’s a creepy, ambitious little twerp,” Carville said of the VP. “He’ll do whatever he can to get in the White House.”

Carville, known for never censoring his feelings, unloaded personal insults on the president.
“I’m gonna tell your fat f-----g a-- something,” he said. “You’re getting ready to get the living crap kicked out of you.”
Trump is now facing the lowest approval ratings of his second term, according to a CNN poll released this week. Many, including Carville, predict the midterm elections will allow Democrats to make large gains in both chambers of Congress.

“I don’t know what to tell you, but it’s over, dude,” Carville said, addressing Trump. “History and time have caught up with you.”
Carville also said Trump’s war with Iran may lead to war crime allegations that bring about an indictment by the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
“You’re probably going to cross the line,” Carville said.
Once Republicans start losing their own elections, he believes the party will turn on Trump, too.
“These Republican senators can’t stand you,” he told the president. “It’s going to be apparent to them that you’re a loser, that you’re a losing f-----g bet.”
He added, “You’re a soft man, you’re not a hard man. You’re not going to be able to take it.”
