President Donald Trump is politically “dead,” according to longtime Democratic strategist James Carville, who said Democrats need to recognize that the country has moved on.

“I think the country is done with this guy,” Carville posted on social media last week. “The situation with Trump and the American people are simply this, it's an awful marriage. By the way, it's a marriage that on paper has over two years left to go. He's sick of the people and the people are sick of him. And if you cannot see you that, you just gotta wake up. We've been so traumatized by him so long that we hadn't noticed that he's dead. Politically, man is dead.”

Carville added, “He can't win anybody a Republican primary anymore. And the craziest, most anti-Trump Democrat is gonna win the primary because just because what Democrats think they're looking for is to find the craziest anti-Trump person you can find. But I, I can assure you what you seeing is a divorce. And how do we stay and live in the same house for another two years?”

Carville concluded, “I don't think we can. I think the country is done with this guy.”

His comments fit a longer-running argument from the veteran strategist that Trump’s political strength is more fragile than it appears, especially if Republicans lose ground in Congress. In May, Carville said that if Trump cannot keep control of Congress in the midterms, he may quit rather than remain in office and face repeated attacks from Democratic lawmakers.

“I think if he has still got his wits about him—and I hope he does—he’ll get out of there and leave, because his life is gonna be so miserable, he won’t know what to do,” Carville said.

Carville is not the only Clinton adviser forecasting trouble for Trump. In July, one of former President Bill Clinton’s top economists, Dr. Robert J. Shapiro, told AlterNet that Trump’s tariffs are creating economic instability.

“It's about uncertainty,” Shapiro said. “Every investment is based on an assessment of the likely future demand for whatever you're investing in, and how much it's going to cost to produce it. So there are assumptions about labor costs, material costs and other input costs — and again, about demand. If you have a set of arrangements that give you some confidence about the price of your inputs coming from Mexico or Canada, or about demand for goods in Canada — and don't forget, we have virtually no trade deficit with Canada; we have enormous trade, and it goes in both directions — so it's certainly right, and it's not just about investments based on these probabilities that the trade agreement can help reduce uncertainty about.”

Shapiro continued, “It's also about how much you're going to produce today, apart from investment, because you've got thousands of companies selling goods or services into Canada. And so there's uncertainty about whether this will lead to more conflict with Canada, which would hurt Canadian demand for US goods, or whether Canada will impose a new tariff in retaliation for ours that makes my goods less competitive there. Of course it's bad — it's bad for American workers, it's bad for American investment.”
