Democratic Party strategist James Carville scorched President Donald Trump in a profanity-laced Good Friday message posted to YouTube, questioning Trump’s suitability for office and taunting his eroding poll numbers in a rant that quickly escalated in tone.
“You sit down, and you listen to me, you fat f—,” Carville began.
“I told you that you’d be gone by April Fools of 2027. I’m getting a little worried. I’ve got to tell you, I watched that word mash you had the night before last, I guess it was.
“Man, I’ve got to tell you, don’t go throw the f—ing number on me before the election, because I want you very, very aware on election night when people tell you what the f— they think of you. They hate you. Everybody hates you.”
Carville then critiqued the president’s recent erosion in poll numbers.
“What’s your floor? Some people say it’s 33. Well, now it’s 35,” Carville said.
“You might go through the floor. ‘Cause all you’re gonna have left is hardcore MAGA and, frankly, we’re glad to have all the people that are now admitting that [voting for you was] a huge mistake. You watch these videos of people saying, ‘I can’t believe I voted for that guy.’ Well, you did, but welcome back.”

“Don’t croak on me. Don’t do that. Because I want you alive when all this s— happens to you,” he said. He then pivoted to a rapid-fire list of grievances with Trump’s team, including War Secretary Pete Hegseth, suggesting the president has “no idea” how to manage his administration.

“The best way I can advise you to be a better person is to do everything you can to get rid of this turd.”
