Veteran political strategist James Carville predicted that President Donald Trump will find himself in unfamiliar territory in a few months.
During a Q&A on Politics War Room, Carville answered a question from a viewer who believed his prediction that Trump will resign after the November midterms but worried that Trump will run again in 2028 by falsely contextualizing the wording of the 22nd Amendment to serve for 10 years total.
"First of all, of all the things that you have to worry about, Trump running in 2028 is not one of them," Carville answered. "I'm watching him in real time, and I think this man is deteriorating physically and emotionally at a rate that's exponential. It's not linear."
However, Trump will find himself dealing with another challenge beyond deterioration, Carville predicted. After the November midterms, Trump's decline will be exacerbated by his fading into irrelevance and isolation, which he's never had to deal with, Carville said. Carville has also predicted a sweeping GOP defeat in the midterms.
"This is going to be accelerated by the fact that after November, he is going to be dealing with something he hasn't dealt with in his time in politics," Carville said. "He's going to be irrelevant. He's not just going to be irrelevant. It's going to be people are not going to want to be around him. They're not going to care what he has to say."
Because nobody's "even going to want to affirmatively hear" Trump, he "will walk away prior to April 15th," Carville said.
"I am more convinced after watching this fiasco with Senator Lindsey Graham," Carville added, referring to Trump's speech at the late senator's funeral.
