Strategist who predicted Trump’s fall claims it has now occurred

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville, known for his colorful commentary and pivotal role in political campaigns, had earlier predicted in February that Donald Trump’s administration would eventually collapse under its own weight. Now, according to Carville, that unraveling has already begun—sooner than even he expected.

In a recent appearance on The Dan Abrams Show, the 80-year-old strategist did not hold back, claiming, “It’s collapsing right now. We’re in the midst of a collapse.” He doubled down on his position, referencing his previous call for Democrats to strategically “play possum” and allow the situation to unfold naturally. “This whole thing is collapsing,” he said, urging Democrats not to overplay their hand as the Trump administration faces internal turmoil and external criticism.

Carville, who gained national prominence as the mastermind behind Bill Clinton’s successful 1992 presidential campaign, is no stranger to political volatility. He played a crucial role in helping Democrats reclaim the White House after 12 years of Republican leadership. Now, he sees echoes of that political shift repeating, but with even more dramatic consequences.

The strategist’s claim hinges on what he describes as several key fractures within the Trump administration. Among them: a rapid decline in approval ratings, widespread dissatisfaction stemming from mass firings of federal employees, and a raft of executive orders that critics argue contradict established law. Carville also pointed to mounting scandals and national security missteps as signs of internal disarray.

One particularly troubling episode that Carville referenced was the recent “Signal-gate” controversy—a security blunder in which a senior official mistakenly invited The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg into a classified conversation involving leaked intelligence on a military operation in Yemen. The incident sparked concern over national security protocols and prompted the Senate Armed Services Committee to demand an independent investigation. It also underscored what Carville sees as the administration’s lack of coordination and accountability.

Reacting to that incident in particular, Carville couldn’t resist a jab: “It’s before April Fool’s Day – which the Trump administration should make a national holiday because it so accurately represents who they are.”

He elaborated further on what he sees as widespread dysfunction. “We look at what’s happening in the markets, we look at what’s happening on Signal-gate, we look at what’s happening all the way around us,” he told Abrams. “I think the thing is collapsed.” While acknowledging the situation may still be unfolding, he offered a compromise to skeptics, saying, “Let’s take the middle ground here and say ‘it’s collapsing’ – I’ll meet you halfway, but that’s about all I can do.”

Carville also shared his perspective on Fox News, reiterating that Democrats should resist the urge to aggressively confront the administration head-on. “Poll numbers are declining. The collapse is already underway,” he said, suggesting that patience might yield greater political returns. “Let’s see when they put the Medicaid budget out. Let’s see when they put the $4.5 trillion of tax cuts to wealthy people. Just let the ball come to you. We don’t need to be aggressive now.”

Carville’s broader point appears to be that the Trump administration, already under pressure from public discontent and political miscalculations, will continue to weaken without direct intervention. While his comments have, unsurprisingly, stirred debate, they reflect a growing narrative within some Democratic circles—that the current administration’s challenges may be too deeply entrenched to reverse.

Whether this prediction will come to pass remains to be seen, but Carville’s characteristic candor has once again ensured that the conversation around the future of American leadership remains as heated and polarized as ever.
