Carville Says Trump Aides Must Do One Thing by November
“I’m through giving advice to you people because you’re too motherf-----g hardheaded,” the legendary strategist raged.
Veteran political strategist James Carville has delivered some foul-mouthed wisdom for aides of President Donald Trump ahead of the midterm elections.
He began by citing Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle’s alleged efforts to get a MAGA donor to pay her $100,000 American Express bill without leaving a paper trail, before offering broader advice to White House staff.
Speaking on the Politics War Room podcast, Carville, 81, said White House operatives and Republican politicians who ignore his counsel will soon pay for it, as the “sugar t-t is gonna be so dry on November 4th.”
“Your future is not the sugar t-t,” he warned. “Your future is put your right hand in the air and testify. And don’t lie, because they’ll put your a-- in jail.”

He added: “You better get right fast. You better leak. You better do everything that you can to get right because the ice pick cometh.”

Guilfoyle’s alleged donor, former lawyer Eric Deters, provided a 150-page document stacked with alleged evidence about his dealings with her, including messages where she allegedly ripped into her ex Donald Trump Jr.’s new wife, Bettina Anderson, in foul-mouthed text messages. Guilfoyle’s lawyer has questioned the texts’ authenticity.

“So I’m, I’m tired of telling you, Kimberly [Guilfoyle], I’m tired of telling you assh---s in the White House. You people got a little bit of time between now and November 3rd to try to get yourself right,” Carville continued.

He said: “I’m through giving advice to you people because you’re too motherf-----g hardheaded.”
Continuing his vibrant metaphor, he said: “That sugar t-t is gonna be so dry on November 4th, you’re gonna think you’re in the middle of the goddamn, not the Sahara Desert, what’s that one in northern Chile? The whatever that is, the driest place on earth. There ain’t nothing gonna be left in that sugar t-t.”
Scientists say the Atacama Desert in northern Chile is the world’s driest non-polar region.
Carville, nicknamed the Ragin’ Cajun during his early career as a political operative, then turned his fire on President Trump. “This fat s--t president we got, he don’t even know where he is. Can’t you look at, can’t you look at the guy and see that? You got awful circulation problems, incontinence problems, every kind of problem you can have,” he said.
Carville also gave a stark warning. “Your future is dim, really dim. It’s legal fees, testimony, court proceedings. That’s all you’re gonna have. And I’ve told you this for the last motherf-----g time, all right?” he said.

The White House has been contacted for comment.
Earlier this week, Carville suggested that there are only two logical reasons for the president’s increasingly erratic behavior heading into the midterm elections.
“Is Trump trying to lose? I mean, there’s nothing that he does that’s consistent with trying to win,” he said.
Carville emphasized that Trump remains “the central issue in the campaign” and “dominates everything,” but admitted he is baffled by the president’s political instincts.
“Does he just want to screw the congressional Republicans? Does he hate ’em? I don’t know,” Carville continued.
“It might be that he’s just out of his god---n mind,” Carville posited. “Who knows? But he is a man of real grievances, and this behavior, the only thing that could really explain it is that he’s clinically insane, or he wants the Republicans to lose. I don’t think there’s any other explanation for it.”
