(DCNF)—Democratic strategist James Carville said during a Thursday podcast that he has not figured out how to counter President Donald Trump’s hyperactive second term.
Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon said in 2018 that “the way to deal with [the media] is to flood the zone with shit.” Carville, on his “Politics War Room” podcast, said Bannon was correct to say that and implored his audience for “help” in determining how to effectively oppose Trump.

“Bannon is right. We are flooded in shit and we are searching for a way to deal with this. These are extraordinarily difficult times,” Carville said. “And he just keeps … moving with one stupid thing after another.”
The Democratic strategist then criticized Trump’s plans for the United States to “take over” the Gaza Strip, the Panama Canal and Greenland.
“The point is we have these conversations, we talk to people on the phone, we go to cocktail parties and dinners … When you sit back and see, when you take it one by one, it’s so much crazier than you can imagine that we’re having this discussion,” Carville added. “And one of the dangers that we have is we just become like — it just becomes elevator music or something.”
“And I don’t know how you accentuate. Do you oppose one thing? Do you oppose all five? Is it a personnel issue?” he asked. “Is it a policy issue? … I’m struggling here a little bit, so maybe some of our really smart viewers can help us untangle it a little bit. It’s really tangled now because no one knows where to land. It’s all too incomprehensible.”
Democratic lawmakers are angry at their own voters as their left-wing base demands more action to combat Trump and his Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) cost-cutting efforts, Axios reported. They argue that their status as the minority party in both chambers limits their ability to resist the Trump administration’s agenda.
Democratic lawmakers also appear divided on how they should oppose Trump’s agenda, with some advocating to resist everything while others appear willing to cross the aisle.
Carville also marveled at Trump’s ability to continue “chugging along” despite “things that we thought would kill a political career.” He particularly called out Trump’s 2022 dinner with rapper Ye and prominent anti-Semite Nick Fuentes.
MSNBC contributor Sam Stein made a similar point about Trump in December, but focused on the president’s legal battles.
“I think the real lesson from all this is that, you know, say what you will about Donald Trump, but he has one attribute that distinguishes him from anyone else in politics, which is an insatiable perseverance,” Stein said. “He will just grind through stuff that, more often than not, other politicians will succumb to. And he can figure it out, he will just claw his way back in and he will fight it. And then he’ll turn it into his advantage. And he did martyr himself by the trials.”
