In a scathing attack on the pundit class, former Democratic strategist James Carville has argued that President Donald Trump's decision to invade Venezuela was nothing more than a desperate attempt to shift attention away from the ongoing release of the Epstein Files and rising healthcare costs.
Carville, known for his sharp tongue, took aim at television hosts and lawmakers who were frantically trying to decipher Trump's motives behind the strike on Venezuela. "It's all about Epstein!" he exclaimed, suggesting that the president's objective is not to improve America's foreign policy or interests, but rather to divert attention from the mounting revelations about the wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Carville believes that Trump launched the attack as a last-ditch effort to avoid a complete revolt among his base over the continued release of Epstein-related documents. "In his reptilian survival way, he says 'I'm going to do this and draw attention away from Epstein,'" Carville said in a video for Politicon.
The president's actions have been met with skepticism by many, particularly in Latin America, where he has been accused of trying to undermine the democratic governments of countries such as Mexico, Cuba, and Colombia. Trump's threats towards these leaders have sparked widespread criticism, including from Colombian President Gustavo Petro, who has condemned the strikes on his country as an invasion.
Carville's assertion that Trump is driven by a desire to conceal the truth about Epstein highlights the perception among many that the president is more interested in protecting his own reputation than in serving the public interest. As Carville so bluntly put it, "Think beyond just the front of your nose!"
