A renowned Democratic strategist claims that the Trump administration is 'collapsing' and has predicted when it will fall.
Famous for helping elect Bill Clinton to the presidency in 1992, James Carville has urged his fellow Democrats to play 'possum' and let the Grand Old Party (GOP) self-destruct.
The veteran Dem guru urged his fellow Democrats to stay quiet and let the chaos unfold.
He believes that Trump’s public opinion is dropping fast - his federal government purge, coupled with his controversial economic policies within his first month in office, is setting the stage for disaster.

Furthermore, the influence of right-hand man Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has radical goals that many fear could destabilise the economy.
“What I have said very publicly is that Democrats need to play possum. This whole thing is collapsing,” Carville predicted.
The 80-year-old author believes the situation will spiral and crumble within four to six weeks.

His bold claim comes just months after Trump made history as the first Republican in 20 years to win the popular vote in a presidential election, gaining ground in over 90% of US counties.
Carville pointed to a poll indicating that Trump’s approval ratings had plummeted from the low 50s to the upper 30s, and his overall public opinion is dropping fast.
The political consultant who was 'certain Kamala Harris will win' called the progressive activist groups during the last election cycle 'useless.'
“These people were just useless,” he criticised. “They’re actually worse than useless, they’re detrimental. And they never, ever learn to shut up.

“I believe that this administration, in less than 30 days, is in the midst of a massive collapse and particularly a collapse in public opinion.”
He added: "This is the lowest approval—not even close—that any president has ever had at a comparable time."
Carville thinks the Republican Party's own internal conflicts could speed up its downfall.

He points out that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) will struggle to get all Republicans on the same page to support Trump’s plans, especially since their majority in the House is so slim. If they can’t agree on key policies, it could make the party even weaker.
Carville went on to say Democrats should 'hold your fire' and that it's going to be 'easy pickings' in a matter of weeks.
"Just lay back," he added. "It's going to happen quickly."
Meanwhile, the President hit back on his own social media platform, Truth Social, saying he had the 'best polling numbers' he's ever had before calling Carville a 'loser'.

Trump wrote: “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."
He added: "They have lost their confidence and spirit - They have lost their minds!”
