Melania is trying to cause Trump all 'the misery she possibly can': James Carville
During an appearance on CNN on Saturday morning, "legendary" Democratic campaign advisor James Carville was asked what he thought about a book promotion video from former first lady Melania Trump where she asserted her pro-choice views which run counter to the direction the GOP has gone while her husband was president.
In the video, Donald Trump's wife announced, "“Individual freedom is a fundamental principle that I safeguard. Without a doubt, there is no room for compromise when it comes to this essential right that all women possess from birth, individual freedom. What does my body, my choice really mean?"
Asked for his opinion on what is going on with highlighting those comments at a time when the abortion debate is crippling the Republican party, Carville laughed and claimed it was Melania's way of subtly damaging her husband's election prospects.

"I think you have an entirely wrong interpretation about what Mrs. Trump did, " Carville told host Michael Smerconish. "I think she can't stand him and I think it was very intentional. Not only does she put out about how pro-choice she was she also put out how pro-immigrant."
"But again, the rule of the commentariat is every piece of information must be interpreted in the most negative light to the Democrats, " he added. "I think the interpretation that she's doing this help to him [Trump] politically is entirely wrong. I think she's trying to cause him all the misery and anxiety that she possibly can."
