Carville Predicts Trump Admin Will 'Collapse' Because of 'Nincompoops' and 'Buffoons' [View all]

Veteran political advisor James Carville is bringing out the popcorn for the “collapse” of President Donald Trump’s administration within a matter of days.

“We’re looking at nincompoops and blockheads and buffoons running the country,” he said during a CNN appearance on Saturday. “I thought I’d have to wait longer for the imminent collapse—it happened even faster than I could imagine.”

Speaking with CNN on Saturday, Carville estimated the administration would come apart “before April Fool’s Day, which the Trump administration should make a national holiday because it so accurately represents who they are.”

For the former strategist, who has run multiple successful campaigns off the back of his trademark slogan. “It’s the economy, stupid,” the clearest indicator of a collapse is the mounting market uncertainty in the midst of President Trump’s tariff wars with historic allies and trading partners.

God, I hope he's right. I'm not even almost holding my breath, but it sure is fun to think about.
