Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville is fantasizing about having President Donald Trump’s “collaborators” publicly humiliated and paraded in the streets — and he says that “the public should be invited to spit on them.”
Carville, the brains behind former President Bill Clinton’s “it’s the economy, stupid,” was speaking with Al Hunt on his “Politics War Room” podcast when he laid out what he referred to as a “fantasy dream” sequence of events that he’d like to see unfold after President Donald Trump leaves the White House in early 2029.

“You know what we do with collaborators?” Carville began, “I think that these corporations — my fantasy dream is that this nightmare ends in 2029, and I think we ought to have radical — I think they all ought to have their heads shaven. They should be put in orange pajamas, and they should be marched down Pennsylvania Avenue. And the public should be invited to spit on them.”
Hunt laughed as Carville continued, spitting out the word “collaborators” as if it were dirty: “The universities, the corporations, the law firms, all of these collaborators should be shaved, pajamaed, and spit on.”
Carville went on to say that he wasn’t really talking about corporations like Lockheed that had active government contracts, but rather those that “unnecessarily bent the knee to this guy.”
“The idea is you have to pay more because you did this, because it is the only way that you’re going to discourage future collaborators in the United States,” he added. “It’s a moral judgment. If you bend the knee to a criminal tyrant, and that’s what he is — understand, he is a criminal: 34 convictions would have been a lot more, okay, if they would have pursued it. He is a tyrant, he has no use for democracy, he has no use for the values of this country, and you are collaborating with this, and it will bring eternal shame to your company.”
Carville’s “fantasy dream” paints a picture strikingly similar to post-war Europe, where people accused of collaborating with the Nazi regime were often subjected to retaliatory measures ranging from public humiliation — such as having their heads shaved or being paraded through the streets where onlookers could attack them — to the famous Nuremberg Trials.
