Trump just made a telling reveal in GOP's looming 2028 war: renowned strategist
Legendary veteran Democratic strategist James Carville had a lot of thoughts about President Donald Trump's chaotic press conference promising a swift end to the Iran war he just started — but one of the things he flagged was that Trump just sent a clear signal which camp of MAGA he backs to carry the torch in the 2028 election.
Specifically, he argued on MS NOW's "The Beat" Monday, Trump is throwing his support to the isolationist wing that was against him going into Iran in the first place.
"Your reaction to the press conference, and the president's claims about oil prices?" asked anchor Ari Melber.
"Well, first of all, what we know, we know we took out an 86-year-old leader who is a hardliner and was replaced by his son, who is 56 years old and a hardliner. So that didn't work," said Carville. "We know that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin talked to Trump on the phone for one hour today. We know that after the conversation, Trump threw in the white flag, right? We know these things actually happen."
"Now, the fact-checkers are going to have to dig through to see if it's 55 or 58 different lies that he said. I had to stop counting," Carville continued. "And I'm not even a fact-checker, all right? It would just — they were cascading. They were going so fast."
"And one other thing I say, Ari, the political ramification immediate is JD Vance is a winner and Marco Rubio is a loser, because JD Vance and Tucker Carlson are more of the isolationist wing of the Republican Party," Carville added. "Rubio and more interventionists. The isolationists won this fight, and its — its ramifications are going to go out beyond just this afternoon."
