James Carville Literally Believes Trump’s Presidency Is ‘Most Serious Crisis’ In US History

Democratic strategist James Carville declared during a Thursday podcast that he actually believes President Donald Trump’s administration is the gravest calamity in the history of the United States.

Carville’s remarks follow independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders claiming during a Tuesday “Pod Save America” interview that Trump, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos have ushered in “the scariest times in lifetime.” On “The Chris Cuomo Project,” Carville argued that Trump’s presidency poses a more significant threat to the nation than the Iraq War or even the first kamikaze attack, which occurred the same day Carville was born — October 25, 1944.

“I think right now, and I’m going be very serious, I’m 80 years old. I think this is the most serious crisis that this country has ever faced,” Carville said. “I think the entire idea of the United States is in jeopardy. I really do. I think it’s fundamentally that profound a problem.”

Host Chris Cuomo asked Carville to elaborate on why he is so concerned. The Democratic strategist began by citing the U.S. vote against a European-drafted United Nations resolution addressing Russia’s aggression toward Ukraine.

“We have a president who is siding with Belarus and North Korea and Russia. I’m sorry — that’s a crisis. We have a president that has appointed some of the most incompetent people you can imagine to the United States Congress,” Carville said. “We have a president who is starting a trade war with our three biggest trading partners and we’re watching the beginnings of which could be a financial meltdown that we can hardly imagine.”
