Democratic strategist James Carville warned Americans to be on “high alert” after listeners suggest President Donald Trump would do everything from rigging the upcoming midterm elections to declaring martial law.
On the Politics War Room podcast with co-host Al Hunt, Carville answered questions submitted by listeners. The first questions asked whether Trump will “rig” upcoming elections and the other suggested he was “sparking” nationwide protests to justify declaring martial law.

Carville claimed Trump does not “like” the United States or respect the Constitution. The country, he declared, is “in the midst of a collapse,” citing stock market struggles amid Trump’s tariffs.
“I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: Trump does not like the United States,” Carville said. “He doesn’t like our laws, he does not like our Constitution. He doesn’t like our people. He calls them fat. He calls them poorly educated, slobs, stupid. And he is in the midst of what I believe — I’ve said, and yet, continue to believe even stronger every day — we’re in the midst of a collapse.”
If Trump is “going down,” Carville added, “he’s going to try to take the whole country with him.”
“He is not loyal to the United States of America. He does not like this country. He criticizes it all the time. He has affection for dictators. He has an affection for authoritarianism,” he said.
