'He doesn't give a' you-know-what: DC insider tears into Trump's China trip

Democratic strategist and political commentator James Carville is blasting what he says is the "one thing" President Donald Trump is thinking about on his trip to China, and it has nothing to do with diplomacy, the U.S. economy, or the war in Iran.

Carville told Al Hunt on their Politicon podcast that it was "really interesting" that all the people he took to China were essentially the people who were in the "first three rows" from his inaugural address. He "put them on Air Force One, and he took Eric — who handles the business end of his business."

"You're going to watch a grift and graft over there, like you can't imagine," Carville continued. "That's all this trip is about, and I got news for you, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Sixpack, or whoever you are out there, he doesn't give a s—— about you, your future, your finances, your retirement, your anything."

"He just cares about making all the money he can as fast as he can, and people [who] don't realize that are just, just woefully stupid."

Hunt reminded Carville that earlier this week Trump said, "I don't think about Americans' financial situation."

"Oh, you don't, Donald," Hunt responded. "Well, you know something? I think a lot of Americans think about their financial situation, and I'm sure those billionaire oligarchs you're traveling with don't, but a lot of voters do, and, uh, you're gonna pay, you're gonna pay a price."

Carville added that Trump also said that he doesn't even think of Iran.

"I think there's only one thing that he's thinking about in his trip to China. And that is a big grift," Carville said. "Look at who he's taking with him."

Carville said there would be "economic exchanges" and "investment opportunities" during the China trip.

"You can see, this is where this is going," he continued. "They just buy him off. He does not care."

"He doesn't care if he, as long as he can go there and make as much money, as fast as he can make it, that's all what he cares about."
