Democratic political strategist James Carville warned President Donald Trump that the knives would be out after this fall's midterm elections.The veteran political operative was discussing the forthcoming book "Regime Change" by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan on his "Politics War Room" podcast, and he said the depth of their reporting showed the White House was leaking."Don't trust anybody," Carville cautioned the president. "They got tapes – everybody. Everybody in the administration is sh--ing all over you, and they're just getting warmed up."The White House could become a pit of vipers in the second half of the 80-year-old president's second term, Carville said."The other effect that comes after November is these people will realize that their careers are, for all intents and purposes, gone," he said. "No one's going to want to hire anybody out of the Trump administration, and the way that you get right with history is start leaking and you position yourself as a person that tried to tell them. That's the only future you have. Leak like a sieve, leak like a broken faucet – leak everywhere. You're already leaking. Everybody's leaking on you. Everybody's leaking on everybody else.""Trust no one," Carville added. "That's my message to anybody that works in this administration, and if I'll give you one piece of advice, Donald Trump, everybody is out for you, even your own people. Be scared. Be very afraid. That's what I see." - YouTube youtu.be
