'Snake pit': Carville says Trump's White House days numbered as admin 'leaks like a sieve'

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville says the wave of damaging leaks emerging from the Trump administration is far from over — and could ultimately bring down the presidency itself.Speaking on his "Politics War Room" podcast, Carville addressed revelations from "Regime Change," a new book by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, which is based on audio recordings of Situation Room conversations among top officials, along with more personal details about Trump's habits, including confirmation that he and first lady Melania Trump keep separate White House bedrooms, reported The Daily Beast."I understand the story is the incompetence and stupidity and the grossness, but the larger issue is this: They're leaking," Carville said. "They're leaking like a sieve. They leak what happens in a bedroom, they leak what happens in meetings, they get audio of meetings, and if you notice, no one has come out and said anything is untrue, because they know that all the tapes and audio are there."Carville argued the dysfunction runs deeper than any single embarrassing detail. "Trust no one. If you work in that snake pit, you can't say anything, you can't do anything," he said. "Trump, as out of his mind as he is, knows that he's surrounded by traitors. He knows he's surrounded by leakers. He knows that everything he does is going to be leaked to the next person writing the next book.""When I tell you that this thing is in its last days," he added, "I'm telling you this thing is in its last days."The 81-year-old Carville, who ran Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign, has repeatedly predicted that the 80-year-old Trump won't finish his second term, suggesting he could leave office next spring following anticipated heavy GOP losses in the November midterms.Comparing the current leaks to those during the Clinton years, Carville said past disclosures were comparatively mundane. "Talking about what somebody has in a bedroom and f---ing Oreos all over the cover and they've got to clean it up, and talking about that, that's not normal s--t," he said, "and I'm telling you, it's going to get worse."
