Democratic strategist James Carville launched into another dramatic tirade Thursday, alleging President Donald Trump is mentally unfit and urged the media to investigate his health.

Carville has previously fueled a conspiracy, suggesting Trump has “secondary syphilis” after a viral photo showed red sores on his hand, though the image’s authenticity remains unclear. During an appearance on the podcast “Politicon,” Carville claimed the president’s health is deteriorating, this time suggesting that the nation faces a dire threat under Trump’s leadership amidst rising tensions with Iran.

“What’s happening right now is a guy is starting to talk about hauling off and starting a war, and who very well [we have] reason to believe — we need some answers — could have a really diseased mental capacity above and beyond just the normal effects of aging and what comes with that. We’re not being served by sitting here silently,” Carville said.

Carville blasted members of the media and accused them of neglecting their duties and failing to investigate Trump’s health.

“And you’re not being served by a commentariat that basically has one thumb up its ass and one thumb in its mouth and is switching every fucking 30 seconds. Go do your job. Find out what’s going on with his hand. Find out what’s going on with his capacity,” Carville said. “Have people look at his slurred language. Have people look at the deterioration that’s going on right now and the madness and the corruption and all of the other shit that’s going on.”

Carville didn’t hold back, urging the media to stop with the panel discussions and focus on what he said was right in front of them. (RELATED: ‘Has Good Reason For Pausing’: Brit Hume Explains Why Trump Hesitates To Strike Iran)

“And don’t worry about having a panel discussion about …’What are they going to do?’ Look at what’s right in front of you, what’s right in front of you,” Carville said. “And I think there is sufficient reason to marshal resources and, together, to see what the hell’s going on here, because he may plunge us into some idiot war. They have a lot of consequences, a lot of long-term consequence.”

While Carville continues to make bold claims about Trump’s health, the president remains focused on critical international issues as tensions between Israel and Iran reached a boiling point Thursday after Israel launched airstrikes, killing top Iranian military officials and severely damaging the nation’s nuclear weapons program. Following the strikes, Secretary of State Marco Rubio quickly said the U.S. had no involvement in the attack.

On Friday, Trump said that while the U.S. did not participate in the strike, he was aware of the plans beforehand. By Monday, reports indicated Iran was open to renegotiating with Israel. But on Wednesday, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a statement, declaring that Iran “cannot be surrendered,” according to The New York Times.

Meanwhile, reports suggested that the U.S. could join Israel in further airstrikes to dismantle Iran’s nuclear weapons program. On Tuesday, Trump reiterated his stance on Truth Social, calling for “unconditional surrender.”
