Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville says the most revealing part of New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan’s new book “Regime Change” isn’t the bombshell reports or gossip about Donald Trump, but just how much information is leaking from the White House.

On the latest episode of his “Politics War Room” podcast with Al Hunt, Carville acknowledged that the tell-all’s overriding theme is “the incompetence and stupidity and the grossness” of Trump and his administration.

But he argued that an even bigger issue stands out.

“The larger issue is this … they’re leaking,” he 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,” he noted. “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 predicted, “This is going to continue.”

“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, he 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.”

Carville said that dynamic would help fulfill his repeated prediction that Trump will leave the White House by Easter 2027, likely after Republicans lose control of both the House and Senate in the 2026 midterms.

“When I tell you that this thing is in its last days,” he said, “I’m telling you this thing is in its last days.”
