James Carville Warns Trump Win Would Mean 'The End Of The Constitution'

Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville, who wagered Monday that President Joe Biden will exit the presidential race following last months’ disastrous debate against Donald Trump, argued Friday that a second Trump term would mean “the end of the Constitution.”

“I think that you are going to see a destroyed NATO,” said Carville on Mediaite’s “Press Club” podcast. “We’re going to be express the values of authoritarianism and totalitarianism.… They’re already telling it, this whole thing about Project [2025], it’s almost predictable.”

Carville said implementing the right-wing policy manifesto, whose authors include former Trump advisers and current campaign aides, “would be so tragic and so against who we are as a country that you almost want to laugh at it.”

Alyssa Farah Griffin, former White House communications director under Trump, warned Thursday that Project 2025 calls for replacing federal experts in key roles at vital agencies with MAGA loyalists. Trump recently claimed to “know nothing” about the plan.

Carville replied bluntly when asked Friday what he foresees from another Trump term.

“Lawlessness on a scale that we can’t comprehend,” the 79-year-old strategist said on the podcast. “They’re already coming out saying they’re going to do it. Christian nationalism is going to take hold in the courts. If Trump wins, he will turn over everything to them.”

“I think it’d be the end of the Constitution. I really do,” he added. “I already see that we’re starting to place people above the law. I’ve already seen where Supreme Court justices are talking about the Comstock Act.”
