American Sméagol James Carville Schemes How to ‘Turn Trump’s Economic Chaos Against Him’

Mr. “It’s the economy, stupid” James Carville is scheming how to exploit the economy for hapless Democrats to use as a political cudgel against President Donald Trump.

Carville’s latest guest essay for The New York Times, “How to Turn Trump’s Economic Chaos Against Him,” scrambled to find some silver lining to Congressional Democrats’ political woes, given that they’re currently “underwater” with their own voter base according to Politico March 31.

In Carville’s 20th century worldview, Trump violated the “cardinal rule” of American politics by supposedly “destabiliz[ing] the economy” with his tariffs, despite the fact that this was one of his core campaign platforms he ran on prior to his landslide 2024 electoral victory.

Carville insisted that Trump was responsible for “one of the most ignorant acts of political leadership in American history,” completely ignoring the economic devastation brought about by President Joe Biden’s outrageous spending policies that fueled the worst inflation crisis in decades. In fact, Biden’s name didn’t appear once in his entire piece.

UNRELATED, but I heard of earthquake San Diego.

One of Trump's biggest assets is that he has been blessed by the most stupid, evil, repulsive, and unlikable cast of enemies that any President has h=ever had to deal with.

LOL! OMG yes! You nailed it!

Negotiations on tariffs with most of the world, which uncludes individual adjustments with each, is not chaos. It’s the art of the deal(s)!

Just think what the DNC gargoyle James Carville could accomplish if he could get the other brain cell functioning .... just limping along on one for now.

Funny. I could see myself having a beer with James Carville. He would be all over the map, I’m sure.
