Democratic strategist James Carville ripped into President Trump’s recent moves on Ukraine and tariffs, accusing the president of deliberately hurting the country.
“He’s actually trying to harm the United States,” Carville charged in a video released Tuesday, pointing to the president’s 25 percent tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico as well as his explosive Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last week.
Carville, a longtime vocal critic of Trump’s, compared the president’s actions to that of other past Republican leaders he has strongly criticized, such as George W. Bush during the Iraq War.
“However, I never would for one minute thought George W. Bush wanted to harm the United States,” Carville said. “I don’t think Trump likes the United States. I honestly believe that the most compelling answer to all of this is he doesn’t like this country.”
The Democratic strategist ticked through his various criticisms of Trump, asserting the GOP president “doesn’t like the Constitution,” international alliances that have existed for decades or the separation of powers within the U.S. federal government.
Carville may have been referring in part to Trump's Truth Social post of December 3, 2022 when the then ex-President (his emphasis, obviously) wrote
Do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution. Our great 'Founders' did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!
Additionally, Carville noted
We know he believes that we’re a terrible country, we’re terrible people … we know that. We know, like many people, he didn’t want to serve in armed forces, but we know that. We know that he is trying to destroy the military by getting rid of every competent person he could find, we know that. We know today that he doesn’t care about high prices.
“What could explain all that?” he continued. “I think the simplest and most direct explanation is the president of the United States hates the United States.”
“Do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” Trump wrote in a post on the social network Truth Social and accused “Big Tech” of working closely with Democrats. “Our great ‘Founders’ did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!”
KISS: Keep it Simple, Stupid. Sometimes (though not usually) the simplest explanation is most accurate. I hate to be repetitive, but not enough to avoid being repetitive. And this simply must mean something: That was over two years ago, when Joe Biden was President, and so it is even more telling that at his first Cabinet meeting, on February 26, the once and current President stated "this country has gotten bloated, fat, and disgusting. I think we had the worst President in the history of our country. He just left office."
Well, no, he's still in office. With contempt for the country and unparalleled corruption, Donald Trump is an easy target. Some may take the low road and mock and lampoon him, a la Tim Walz. Others, such as Senator Murphy, can use social media and pictorial representations to make it clear to the country that the man is a crook and con man. By all means draw a line from hatred of the country to looting the country. All the evidence is available- only willingness, effort, and a little creativity are necessary.
