James Carville Warns Trump: Your 'Grifter' Campaign Aides Are Lying To You

[brooklynite]

Huffington Post

Democratic political consultant James Carville said President Donald Trump is getting fleeced by members of his own campaign who know he’s going to lose reelection but won’t tell him for one simple reason: they’re trying to make money off the campaign.

“It don’t matter if the Dow is 35,000, he’s not going to win,” Carville said on MSNBC on Wednesday. “He wasn’t going to win when unemployment was 3.5 percent, he’s certainly not going to win now.”

Carville dismissed Trump’s top campaign aides as a “pack of grifters.”

“HIs campaign manager’s got two condos, a Ferrari, a yacht, a Range Rover,” he said.

Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale and his companies collected $38.9 million from the president’s reelection committees between January 2017 and the end of March. Parscale has also amassed all of the properties and vehicles Carville described.

“They’re all just fleecing the campaign,” Carville said, adding that the aides were also lying to Trump about his chances to keep the gravy train rolling.

1. THIS

. “He wasn’t going to win when unemployment was 3.5 percent, he’s certainly not going to win now.”


QED!

2. so, Carville seems to be saying that Trump did not know?? Am I reading this right?

4. I call bullshit. Trump's fleecing his base and funneling some of the campaign cash to his henchmen.

[not_the_one]

10. I'll bet you anything he is ALSO funneling his own money out of the country.

What little he has. And that is EXACTLY why he is fleecing the American tax payers out of as much as possible. He knows he is going to need it, since HE AIN'T RICH, like he leads us to believe.... He is in debt up to his puffy eyeballs to Pootie Poot.

If he knows he's not going to win, and he's not going to be able to stop the election, then he is making plans to flee. He also thinks he will have is own TURD NETWORK to cause problems after he is gone. OAN(N) is getting a big infusion of cash from his rich buddies. Laying the groundwork. He is SOOO OVER Fox.

One of Biden's executive orders, to be put into effect IMMEDIATELY after his swearing in, should be to FREEZE ALL HIS ASSETS, THE FAMILIES ASSETS, THE ORGANIZATION'S ASSETS, along with requiring immediate release of the last 30 years of tax returns. The NEW RULES say that you can do ANYTHING with a presidential executive order...

He has been laundering Russian money for decades, which allows us to TAKE EVERYTHING through the RICO act.

We should USE IT.

3. Carville is Carville; good to slip a few key facts in there

[Walleye]

5. That should get through to the paranoid bastard

[belpejic]

6. I keep thinking of Goodfellas

When people start buying nice things after the Lufthansa heist...that seems like a no-no...

Maybe Carville could get on Fox and start saying this. It would be a nice way to throw the Trump campaign into turmoil six months out.

[world wide wally]

7. Either Carville is right about it all or it is a great strategy.... turn the tables on Trump...

Divide and conquer

[Demsrule86]

8. That will make Trump go nuts...

[SWBTATTReg]

9. I think they are all fleecing all of their donors, rump, his cronies, his campaign aides, his ...

campaign, the so called conservatives who support rump etc., all of them. They are all crooks. When serious change or money is involved, forget ethics, the republicans don't care, they want the money!

Look at Mississippi and the huge amount of money the republicans stole from the Feds meant to support low income federal programs in Mississippi (an article on DU showed up yesterday detailing the theft of millions of dollars by the Miss. republican party). I am watching to see how Barr handles this 'touchy' subject. I bet my bottom dollar that Barr will ignore this and not prosecute, or slap their hands and say 'No No, you shouldn't do this'.

11. I think they lie to him about internal polling to keep their jobs

Trump is in on the fleecing of campaign funds. He'll get his and throw a little bit to them. Remember, he gets two scoops of ice cream with his cake. Everyone else gets one.

[crickets]

12. Keep stirring the pot, James. Good on ya!

They're all planning to take the money and run, but a little dose of divide and conquer can't hurt.

13. Good job, James! Twist that knife!
