'Ragin' Cajun' James Carville insists Trump 'collapse' is underway, tells Democrats to 'sit back'
SUMMARY
Democratic strategist James Carville, the “Ragin’ Cajun,” is sounding off again, telling Dems to kick back and “play possum” because he’s convinced Trump’s presidency is already crumbling. On Fox News’ “Hannity” on February 20, 2025, Carville argued Trump’s poll numbers are tanking—claiming he’s the “lowest-rated president” this early in a term, per RealClearPolitics averages. He’s urging Democrats to chill and let Trump flop on his own, pointing to protests against him and Elon Musk’s DOGE efficiency push as proof of trouble brewing. Hannity fired back with polls showing Trump in decent shape, like a CBS/YouGov survey, but Carville’s not fazed. Fresh off a wrong call on Kamala Harris’ election chances, he shrugged off the loss, blaming a “seventh-string quarterback.” Still, he’s doubling down: sit tight, let Trump stumble, and focus on big issues like healthcare—not track meets.
