James Carville Tells Republican Voters Trump ‘Hates You!’ — And ‘He Hates The United States!’
Democratic strategist James Carville told MSNBC host and former Biden White House press secretary Jen Psaki that President Donald Trump hates his own voters, the country itself, and “any kind of rules” in a rant about the “danger” he sees growing.
Bannon told The Economist’s editor-in-chief Zanny Minton Beddoes and deputy editor Ed Carr that “He’s going to get a third term. So Trump ’28, Trump is going to be president in ’28, and people just ought to get accommodated with that,” and added that there’s already a “plan” to ensure that.
On Friday’s edition of MSNBC’s The Briefing with Jen Psaki, Carville went on a tear over Trump and the Republicans, saying “when they start seeing they’re losing, it’s going to get crazier and crazier”:
CARVILLE: Yeah. Bannon is making money hand over foot. They’re all making money hand over foot. They not — as we say in south Louisiana, they’re not studying about J.D. Vance, right? They in there right now trying to maximize as much as they can get as fast as they can get it. And I think we’re going to do very well electorally, but I think that’s only going to accelerate their craziness, their thievery, their authoritarianism, their lawlessness.
But look at what they’re doing. Jen, if I want to add a bathroom to my house that I’m sitting in right here, I got — I got to get 16 permits, right? Just record price that we know we know well. They just took a wrecking ball to the whole White House and did this. And now, they — it’s unbelievable.
We — this is so big the size and the magnitude of this. It’s people just still can’t comprehend it yet. We don’t know how to cover it. We don’t know how to talk about it. We don’t know how to think about it because it’s so unimaginable.
And that’s what they’re counting on. This is going to get — people listen to me. What? They just getting started. They’re just getting started. And when they start seeing they’re losing, it’s going to get crazier and crazier, and they’re going to redistricting.
By the way, remember this, Indiana wouldn’t go along with it. Now, Kansas wouldn’t go a long way. If you’re a Republican out there, remember, Trump doesn’t care about you. He hates you. And you better watch out because you look at the Republican number in these polls, it’s starting to go down a little bit.
And he doesn’t — he hates — he hates the United States. He hates the Republican Party. He hates any kind of system that we have here, any kind of rules. And they’re going to — I hate to be like this being an old man, but I’m telling you, we had a really dangerous point in the United States. And I believe that from the bottom of my heart, and a lot of other people I know that are really smart historians, people that know this totally agree with me. It’s bad. It’s dangerous.
PSAKI: I think there’s no question about it. And it’s this very difficult line between not wanting people to feel scared and wanting to be direct about what the hell is happening, which is what we try to do —
CARVILLE: Not to be scared. Not to be scared.
PSAKI: But the good news —
CARVILLE: You have no option. I’m sorry. I like hope and I’m the man from hope. And you know the Obama Hope poster and the hope and hope. Hope is gone, man. Hope is not anywhere around here.
We’re up against — as a country, we’re up against the wall. And right now, there is no hope. There is fear. And people are justified to be afraid. And they need to do everything that they possibly can in their own simple way to profess their love for this country, their love for the traditions and the laws and the customs and the history that we have and the progress we made, because it’s all at — it’s — it — it’s — as likely as not that we blow a gasket.
And I — again, I’m — I know I’m being somewhat hysterical here, but I can’t — I’m an old man.
There’s nothing else. I get to say what I want. I’m just telling you, I’m one scared dude. Really scared.
PSAKI: James Carville, I think people should be scared out there, but they should also feel —
CARVILLE: They should.
PSAKI: They should use that fear to get out there and not be scared about participating in the process. And that’s a key part of the message. I think, too.
CARVILLE: Absolutely.
