Carville: People Who Think Trump Won’t Postpone The 2026 Elections Are “F*cking Fools”
On the “Politics War Room” podcast, host James Carville said people are “f*cking fools” if they don’t think President Donald Trump will cancel the midterm election in 2026. Carville also predicted that the veteran suicide rate would increase following the passage of the Big, Beautiful Bill. “This thing is a giant stinking turd and it needs a giant sewer fan to dispense its odor all over the country. It already is stinking. You got to make it stink more,” Carville said of Trump’s signature legislation.
JAMES CARVILLE: Happy Fourth. Actually, it’s not particularly Happy Fourth, but to the extent that you can be happy, Happy Fourth to you. Yesterday I went on Jim Acosta’s podcast and I said that I thought that there’s a good chance that Trump would try to do something to postpone or forward to the 2026 election. Of course, you had the usual course of a** wipes, pontificators, chin scratches, you know, gray beards. Oh, Carville’s gone too far. And then, like a lightning bolt from a summer thunderstorm, Trump says, I can overturn the New York election. I have all the levers. They all look like f*cking fools. Because that’s what these people are, gigantic, colossal fools. They actually think this whole thing is legit. We know better. Be ever vigilant and watch because we’re going to win in Virginia. We’re going to win in New Jersey. We’re going to win by a lot. The polls are going to come in. They’re going to be way behind. He knows what’s coming. He’s going to try to do anything he can to squirm out of taking responsibility. And all the cable TV channels are going to say, oh, well, it’s, you know, the institutionalists and the tradition and the other all garbage f*cking crap they say that we all know is crap. And we’re not going to shut up. We have no intention to shut up. We have every, every intention of continuing to bring this to light. And so now we’re at a strategic, in fact, point here. I don’t know what it is, an infection point, whatever, because his big, beautiful bill has passed. It holds the distinction of being the most unpopular, on passage, the most unpopular piece of legislation in the history of the United States Congress. We need to continue to talk about it. This has to be the rallying point of the Democratic Party from now to 2026. We don’t need to discuss any divisions in a party. We don’t need to discuss anything. We need to have a unified, totally vigorous, totally relentless, never looking back opposition to this. So, and I have to say, I think that our Democratic representatives in Congress are doing a good job. I’m not supposed to say that, but I think Hakeem, I think the whole operation up there, I think that she was making them read the bill, do anything you can to get this fish out in the sun so it can rock more and people can get even a better sense of the stench that’s coming from this. So, I was listening to the politics channel, I don’t know, Julie Mason, whatever her name is, and they were talking about the Republicans are going to take this on the road. May I make a suggestion to each and every one of you, I know this is summertime, you probably have plans, you might have a little Florida you, maybe a little beach house rental, or maybe you’re going to visit some relatives, I don’t know, going to a state park and camping. Think about this for your whole family. Find out where some Republican has this on the road and show up. Make your own signs. More veteran suicide. Rural hospital closures. More forest fires. No weather service. I’ll give you one example. I’m speaking in the Shenandoah Valley, I live not very far from, I think the most visited national park in the country, Shenandoah National Park, which says the Skyline Drive. They are so depleted with park rangers, they’re scared to death they’re going to have some emergency this summer. So, rather, and it’s a beautiful thing, and I’m not telling you you shouldn’t take your family and drive on the Skyline Drive, because it’s remarkable, I do it all the time, but it may not be there. That’s right, it may not be there. Just like the hospital in rural America, it may not be there. Veterans now are committing suicides at the rate of 17.6 a day. It’ll probably go up to 25 a day. So, maybe you get your family, your extended family. A lot of people do. You’ve got parents, grandparents, children, nieces, nephews, friends, hangers-on, little snot noses, diapers full of sh*t, whatever else comes with a family, and maybe you should motor to one of these rallies and hold up signs and let people see exactly what they’re doing, because they think they’re going to go with this bullsh*t and sell this giant stinking turd with a giant sewer fan blowing its odor all over the United States, and maybe you can ramp up the RPMs on that giant sewer fan and let people get the stench of how terrible and awful and un-American and un-Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition of, I don’t know, ethical culture, anything that you want to think of. This thing is a giant stinking turd, and it needs a giant sewer fan to dispense its odor all over the country. It already is stinking. You got to make it stink more. And pay no attention to the chimp scratches. Pay no attention to the institutionalists. Pay no attention to the a**holes that went on morning TV and said, we can work with this guy, or, you know, maybe we can meet him halfway. Oh, sh*t. Please. So, we got a lot of work to do. We’re going to keep coming back. We’re going to keep the troops hydrated, stay hydrated, all right, get the whole family together. You may not be able to have the kind of summer you wanted to, but it might be one of the most important summers that you’ll ever encounter. And I think, collectively, we can do something. I think, collectively, that in this even most dark hour, and it is a very dark hour, I think that, collectively, we can light a candle. I think, collectively, we can help lead this country out of this abyss, this morass. No, it’s worse than an abyss. It’s worse than a morass. It’s giant, massive criminality at the head of the United States government.
