Commentators Who Say Trump Is ‘Changed Man’ After Shooting Should Face ‘Lifetime Ban,’ James Carville Says

Democratic strategist James Carville attacked commentators Monday who say that former President Donald Trump has “changed” after the recent attempt on his life, asserting that these people should face a “lifetime ban from being on anything.”

NBC’s Katy Tur and Chuck Todd on Tuesday were struck by Trump’s “different” demeanor at the Republican National Convention (RNC) shortly following the assassination attempt. Carville on “The Bulwark Podcast” said suggesting Trump has “changed” indicates “a breathtaking ignorance” of human nature and Trump in particular, and further asserted that people who say it should no longer have a public platform.

“My favorite is the Van Joneses and even the Dan Abrams, both of whom I like … talking about how Trump’s a changed man. What in the fuck are you — if anybody says that, there should be a lifetime ban from being on anything, okay? I mean, that is just a breathtaking ignorance of what people are like, and particularly Donald Trump,” Carville said. “I love that. ‘He was a changed man,  I tell you what … he’s found God.’ Yeah, right. Sure. Absolutely.”

A bandaged Trump made his first public appearance since getting shot in the ear at the RNC, seeming emotional and receiving an enormous applause.
