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.

James Carville could be the head of KAOS.

And speaking of ignorance - here’s James Carville.

destabiliz[ing] the CCP economy” with his tariffs

Fixed it.

[Magnum44]

Not even Smeagol likes to be compared to Carville

[BenLurkin]

What economic chaos?

[Texas Eagle]

You want to create economic chaos, James? Sell all the stocks you bought through your Insider information and tell Nanzi Pelosi and all her fellow members of Congress to do the same.

[No name given]

Exactly.

[Political Junkie Too]

The chaos of jobs going up and inflation going down.

Hehehe...he is a whack-job, but..once in a while, when he isn’t paying attention, a fragment of truth exits his “ring bearer-finger-chomping” pie hole!

[Berosus]

Has anyone else noticed how much Carville looks like one of the Roswell aliens?

[Responsibility2nd]

Not exactly sure what a Sméagol is, so I looked it up. THIS is a prefect represntation of Carville.

And yeah. I'm not a LOTR fan or I would have known.

[SaxxonWoods]

That’s today’s Democrats. They think hurting America to get in power is “winning”.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I prefer to think of him as Serpent Head.

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.

Carville is the poster boy for Trump's cast of enemies. Carville has always been an ugly buffoon but neither Carville nor his trademarked schtick have aged well.

Dude is way passed his long expired best sell date.

Strange that he has surfaced after a long media absence.

One thing is for certain - wherever Carville goes, Bill Clinton is lurking close behind in the shadows.

[Responsibility2nd]

I have no use for Carville, but he DID play a pretty mean banjo.

We are STILL not yet to the "First One Hundred Days In Office" benchmark, when most Presidents are given a pass until that first report card. Democrats are so empty and broken that they want him gone even before then.

APR 30 will be Day 100. Still over 2 weeks to go.

American schlemiel.
