Strategist makes bold prediction on when Donald Trump's administration will 'collapse'

A Democratic Party strategist has made a bold prediction that Donald Trump's administration will 'collapse' pretty soon.

The infamous political consultant, James Carville, has made a bold suggestion that the president's White House team will fall in a matter of weeks as a consequence of Trump's recent actions.

The 80-year-old author said the downfall will come as Trump's approval numbers continue to plummet - as the president fired thousands of government officials and signed off on several controversial executive orders within his first month in office.

Meanwhile, his 'First Buddy', Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is tasked with cutting federal spending, which has sparked concern across the country.

These moves could cause the US economy to spiral, and tempt Republicans to cross over while Democrats can sit back and watch it unfold, Carville claimed.

Speaking to Mediaite’s Dan Abrams, he said: "Democrats need to play possum. This whole thing is collapsing."

He referred to a poll that suggested Trump's approval ratings dropped from the low 50s to the upper 30s and went on to say it would take 'less than 30 days' for the administration to crumble.

In fact, he said public opinion has already started and the Trump administration is already in the 'midst' of falling.

He added: "We’re in the midst of a collapse. This is the lowest approval—not even close—that any president has ever had at a comparable time."

Carville went on to say Democrats should 'hold your fire' and that it's going to be 'easy pickings' in six weeks.

"Just lay back," he added. "It's going to happen quickly."

The strategist's analysis comes as Trump recently criticized Carville for questioning Fox News' facts when it came to the president's popularity.

On Sean Hannity's show, Carville had said: "I’m reading these polls saying the Democrats are 13 points up in the congressional generic, that Donald Trump has the lowest approval rating of any president at this point in his presidency in American history.

“It’s over!” James Carville predicts the Trump administration is going to completely collapse in “less than 30 days”. He advises Dems to sit back and let it happen. (Video: SiriusXM/Mediaite) pic.twitter.com/bfA2bMF6pk

“So, your viewers are getting one view. And I’m reading another view. One of us is right and one of us is wrong. It’s that simple. Have they got fact checkers at Fox?”

Taking to his own social media platform, Truth Social, the President hit back saying he had the 'best polling numbers' he's ever had before calling Carville a 'loser'.

“The Democrats, run by broken down losers like James Carville, whose weak of mind and body, are going crazy, and just don’t know what to do,” Trump wrote. “They have lost their confidence and spirit - They have lost their minds!”
