Democratic strategist James Carville has come up with a peculiar theory suggesting that President Trump’s alarming mental and physical decline is due to syphilis.

The 80-year-old political analyst not only made this medical diagnosis but also criticized Trump’s behavior during a meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office.

‘It’s stunning,’ Carville said. ‘Anybody who watched it, saw it. And I’m torn for an explanation.’

Carville masterminded Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential victory with the infamous slogan ‘It’s the economy, stupid.’ 

He’s spent decades dissecting the highs and lows of American politics and seen plenty of erratic behavior from politicians. 

But the ‘Ragin Cajun’ claims what he witnessed on Friday was on a whole different level. 

‘We’ve seen so much, and we’ve gotten so used to all the crazy things he does that we’ve kind of become immune to it,’ he admitted. 

‘But this one stuck out – even by Trumpian standards, which is hard to do – as something extraordinary.’

One of the most striking claims Carville raised involves a possible medical condition.

In a YouTube video, Carville recalled an instance where he noticed red splotches on Trump’s hand and used it as a basis for his diagnosis.

‘I was told by any number of medical professionals that when you see that condition, the first thing that you suspect is syphilis.’

The explosive claim may sound outrageous, but Carville insists he’s simply raising questions. 

He pointed out that Trump’s own wife, Melania, has repeatedly refused to be seen near him in public, suggesting a deeper reason for their estrangement.

‘We know from numerous videos that his wife doesn’t even want to be in the same zip code as him,’ Carville noted. ‘If you had a spouse with syphilis – now, I’m not saying he does, let me be clear – but I’m just asking questions.’

If Carville’s theory has any merit, it could explain a range of symptoms associated with neurosyphilis, including erratic behavior, paranoia, memory loss, and cognitive decline. And for Carville, the display in the Oval Office was nothing short of craziness.

‘What we saw was madness,’ he said. ‘And I don’t mean just anger – I mean King George III-level madness.

‘My question is: who in the White House, around Trump, is acknowledging this? Because they have to know,’ Carville argued.

 ‘We saw it, so they have to see it. And things like this don’t just appear out of the blue – there are usually signs.

‘I can’t believe there weren’t indications before now that something was seriously wrong,’ Carville said.

‘As we move forward, we’ll keep exploring this,’ he promised. ‘I’m not a doctor, I’m not qualified to diagnose anything, but we need to do some research.

‘We all saw it – and even by Trumpian standards – which is an oxymoron to say – it represents a significant deterioration.

‘That boy ain’t right,’ the Louisiana native said using an old Southern expression. ‘And I think it’s a discussion that needs to happen.’

Carville, who currently serves as senior advisor for the liberal Super PAC American Bridge 21st Century, has never been shy about his distaste for Trump, but this time, his concerns go beyond politics. 

Instead of attacking Trump’s policies or rhetoric, he is questioning his very ability to function.

‘He’s obviously been in decline for a long time,’ Carville stated. ‘He’s overweight, doesn’t sleep at night, eats nothing but hamburgers and junk food, and he’s almost 80 years old.’

Although such remarks could sound like an extension of the usual partisan brawls, Carville insists he’s raising a genuine red flag. 

‘That boy ain’t right,’ Carville repeated, using a phrase often used to describe someone exhibiting deeply concerning behavior.

Carville’s concern isn’t just about Trump’s lifestyle, but about what might be happening beneath the surface. 

‘There’s a tendency to just attribute it to the natural effects of age, bad diet, and exhaustion,’ he admitted. ‘But I’m not sure that explains everything. There was something about it today.’
