James Carville says Donald Trump's behavior only makes sense if the president actually wants Republicans to lose the midterms, out of resentment that the party turned on him after he says he taught them to win. Carville made the case on his podcast, framing it as the only theory that accounts for the president's actions, while acknowledging it sounds unhinged even to him.

He also predicted the GOP's Dallas midterm convention, where Trump is speaking both days, will go badly for the party, and renewed an earlier prediction that Trump will leave office by Easter 2027 under pressure from Democratic majorities.

A theory that only works if the man at the top would rather burn the barn than let the neighbors use it. Could be right. But a strategist who tells you his own idea sounds crazy has already given you the honest part, and the rest is him guessing along with the rest of us.
