Fox News's Laura Ingraham asked Carville during an interview on "The Ingraham Angle" if he stuck by the prediction he made earlier this year and why. Carville said he does, adding that Trump's "not particularly a hard man."

"And when he sees what's going to happen in this election, and I had this hit me in 1994, I know what this is. Most people don't. And when these things hit, of course, [former President] Clinton was able to survive because he was young, he was brilliant, and he had Newt Gingrich as his foil," he said, referring to the former Republican House Speaker from Georgia.

"Do you want to put some money on this, Carville?" Ingraham asked. "I will put a huge amount on this, that Trump will be out by Easter, for charity."

Carville poured cold water on the offer, saying he does not "do the predictable thing."

"I like to think of the future," he said. "I think he's going to get really bored and when you lose one this big, people don't really pay attention to you."

Carville predicted on his "Politics War Room" podcast in June that Trump " whom he said was "soft," "distracted" and "bored with the Iran war" " would leave if Democrats make "breathtaking" victories in the November midterm elections.
