Carville says Trump "is just going to quit next year by this time, he's just going to f---ing walk away" (POLL)

Political strategist James Carville said that he thinks President Donald Trump’s days in office are numbered.

In a video for Politicon published on Monday, Carville, 81, said that Trump, 79, is not long for the presidency because “everything that he tries blows up in his face.”

“I’m telling you, I think he’s just going to quit next year by this time,” Carville predicted. “I think he’s just going to f---ing walk away because the Democrats control the House and the Senate.”

I don't agree with Carville. They'll have to carry Trump out of there, horizontally or vertically.

If the dems control the house and senate, Trump won't trust them to not go after him. Pardon himself? He's going to rely on the SC which he's been raging against for days now? Unlikely. Plus, imagine the sheer amount of money he can grift off the FAILED US that now has to rely on the CROOKED EVIL DEMOCRATS that will deplete the military to the point that we'll be TAKEN OVER by Trinidad/Tobago. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! Because his cult chud supporters are fucking brain dead morons.

Not that Trump really has much to worry about. I'm pretty sure the kompromat he has is still solid enough to keep him out of Leavenworth. I'm also not convinced we're going to have fair "elections" that will be able to put the dems in control of much more than the food cart at the Trump-Lincoln Memorial.

But he will have to be removed.
He isn’t smart enough to know when he is cooked.

About any of his Dump predictions. Dump will leave when he’s dead, forced out, or he’s killed most of us off with World War 3.

That idiot Carville also said Dolt45 would be gone last year as well. He said this at least TWO DIFFERENT TIMES!

Carville has no idea.

One - Trump won’t quit while there is a chance that prison is on the horizon.

Two - I think that the stress of all his fuck-ups at POTUS will overwhelm him.

Three - He is like a cornered rat - maybe he’ll drink poison.
