James Carville Compares Trump to Kamikaze Attacks: “The Most Serious Crisis America Has Ever Faced”

Former Clinton advisor James Carville believes President Donald Trump and his administration are the gravest calamities in United States history.

During an appearance on The Chris Cuomo Project podcast, Carville argued that Trump’s presidency poses a more significant threat to the nation than the Iraq War and the first kamikaze attack.

“I think right now, and I’m going to be very serious, I’m 80 years old,” Carville said.

“I think this is the most serious crisis that this country has ever faced.

“I think the entire idea of the United States is in jeopardy. I really do. I think it’s fundamentally that profound a problem.”

Cuomo asked Carville to elaborate, to which the Democratic strategist referenced Russia’s aggression toward Ukraine and the U.S. vote against a European-drafted United Nations resolution.

“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 what could be a financial meltdown that we can hardly imagine.”

Despite Carville’s claims, Trump threatened Russia with sanctions on Friday, writing on Truth Social that he was “strongly considering” these measures if Russia and Ukraine do not reach a ceasefire agreement.

“We have a president that does not respect our institutions, does not respect the limited powers, the separation of powers that we have in our Constitution,” Carville continued.

“I can think of no bigger crisis this country’s been in in my lifetime — ever!”

Earlier this month, Carville admitted he is having trouble holding back his anger at the new administration’s policies.

“People are flummoxed, and I am too, because I’ve come to think maybe Donald Trump hates the United States,” Carville said.

“Look at Mexico. North America, for the past 20 years, has been an economic powerhouse,” Carville continued.

“I mean, if you look at the economic power of Canada, the United States, and Mexico, it’s pretty impressive … Why is he doing this?”
