James Carville Calls Out Trump Collaborators on Latest Podcast

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Democratic strategist James Carville made headlines during the latest episode of his podcast, ‘Politics on the Rocks,’ airing on April 6, 2025. In a passionate tirade, Carville harshly criticized President Donald Trump and those he deemed complicit in their support of his administration, labeling them as ‘clownish’ and ‘stupid.’

Carville, known for his role in President Bill Clinton’s successful 1992 campaign, announced his idea to create a ‘hall of fame’ to publicly shame individuals and organizations he believes have enabled Trump’s controversial presidency. He drew bold comparisons, likening law firms working with Trump to Nazi collaborators in Europe during World War II.

“These people will be ostracized once Trump is out of office,” Carville asserted, urging his listeners to consider the aftermath of World War II, particularly in Paris, when collaborators faced public backlash. He ominously remarked, “It wasn’t a pretty sight,” hinting at potential unrest following Trump’s departure from the presidency.

Carville’s remarks signal his alarm over what he sees as a disturbing trend among Americans willing to work under Trump’s administration. Despite his concerns, he conveyed a measure of optimism, referring to the ‘organic nature of the uprising’ against the current administration.

On the day of the podcast release, ‘Hands Off’ rallies erupted in all 50 states and various locations across Europe, as protestors gathered to denounce Trump’s policies and the influence of tech moguls like Elon Musk. Carville referenced these protests to illustrate a growing discontent among the public.

Further criticizing Trump’s allies, Carville labeled them as ‘anti-patriotic’ and ‘grifters.’ He specifically mentioned the Davis Polk law firm and certain individuals from Amazon as part of his proposed hall of fame, suggesting they are among those most complicit in Trump’s ‘power grab.’

“I encourage my listeners to submit their nominations,” Carville said, indicating that he plans to reveal his finalized list later this year. Reiterating his disdain, he pointed out that the ramifications for these ‘collaborators’ could be severe, both socially and politically, once Trump’s time in office ends.

As Carville’s comments continue to stir controversy, they underscore the deep divisions currently permeating American politics, as various factions grapple with the legacies of Trump’s presidency.
