When it comes to leftists suffering from very public bouts of severe Trump Derangement Syndrome, former Clinton adviser James Carville might as well be the poster child.
His rants against President Donald Trump often venture into the realm of the absurd, but his most recent political prognostication was so detached from reality that the White House felt it had to respond.
The New York Post reported on Carville’s comments on the podcast he co-hosts with Al Hunt:
“I don’t think he’s ever going to go to jail,” Hunt added. “But I’ll tell you, some of this stuff is really going to what we know is awful. What they’re hiding is even worse. So, you better believe he wants to win the midterms.”
ADVERTISEMENTCarville, however, offered a more severe response, declaring, “Trump has no earthly idea of what’s coming. They’re not telling him. The vote against him in November is going to be, like, breathtaking.”
“He’s already bored,” Carville added. “He can’t stay awake. He says he’s bored with the Iran war. He’s — and I’m telling you, this guy by Easter of 2027 is just going to walk away from this job.
“Just gonna f—ing walk away because he doesn’t have any idea of what it’s going to be like when he comes to grips with the massive — I mean it’s going to be massive rejection of him, anybody that has anything to do with him, anything that he has anything to do with.”
Carville’s far-fetched fantasy fueled significant social media criticism:

And The Hill noted the White House’s reaction:
White House spokesperson Davis Ingle, in a statement to The Hill, called Carville “a stone-cold loser who suffers from a severe and incurable disease known as Trump Derangement Syndrome, and it has rotted his peanut-sized brain.”
Trump and Republican lawmakers face an uphill battle for the next five months as voters express disapproval over the administration’s handling of affordability and the cost of living. Prices have soared following the start of the U.S.-Israeli conflict against Iran, though prices have dipped after the U.S. and Iran signed an initial agreement to end the conflict.
The president previously warned Republicans that if they lose their grip on Congress, Democrats will impeach him. Some candidates, including Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner (D), have called for the president to be impeached.
And here’s a flashback to one of Carville’s prior verbal attacks on the president:
