Trump shrugs off Colin Powell’s support for Biden, brings up WMD UN speech

FOX: President Trump late Sunday responded to former Secretary of State Colin Powell’s earlier announcement that he will be supporting Joe Biden for president in 2020 after saying that Trump “drifted away” from the Constitution during his tenure.

Powell made the announcement on CNN and said that while he will vote for Biden, he will not hit the campaign trail. His decision is not that stunning. He said he voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016.

“I’m very close to Joe Biden in a social matter and in a political matter,” Powell said. “I’ve worked with him for 35, 40 years. And he is now the candidate and I will be voting for him.”

“Colin Powell was a pathetic interview today on Fake News CNN,” Trump tweeted. “In his time, he was weak & gave away everything to everybody- so bad for the USA. Also got the “weapons of mass destruction” totally wrong, and you know that that mistake cost us? Sad! Only negative questions asked.” keep reading

  1. I believe that the General also voted for Obama (and basically for Biden as well) in both elections. So the fact that he is voting for Biden is really meaningless, except for those in the media who want to wave the “Black man is voting for Biden” flag.

  2. Colin wants to be full black cuz Joey said he couldn’t be if he didn’t vote for him….FFS….
    He’s known, worked with and listened to Joey for 40 years yet he doesn’t know better?….FFS….

  3. That speech, years ago, was when he jumped the shark.

    Live long enough and watch everyone eventually disappoint you.

    bit different than Sun Tsu but has proven more accurate from my observation.

  4. I know a retired O-9 who worked in the Pentagon when Colin Powell was there. He said all the flag officers of every branch looked down upon Powell with contempt because he allowed himself to become a “political general”

    ALL GENERALS ARE POLITICAL~
    Ike and Patton were denied flags for years by politics. When we thought the Marxists may win both got 2 stars in a year.

    But the greatest eg is Custer. A very good friend of Abe he went from 2nd Lt of Lt. Gen in 4 years,! After Abe was killed; Custer was a Maj in less than a year!

    I wish Flags were given based on merit. Only after 1942; and then only for 3 years, has this been a approximation of the truth!

    This IMHO is a big reason we have not won a war in 75 years!

  6. PS

    Custer was a great military leader. 8 times he went up against the CSA. All 8 times “the EXPERTS at West Point” said he would lose. He won 7 of the 8! and he won 5 so clearly that all the CSA still alive “ran so fast that the hounds couldn’t catch em”!
    He deserved his promotions; just not nearly so fast!

    He literally “kicked th sh-t out of the CSA”!He was a “charismatic” leader and like H. Nelson was brilliant and UNORTHODOX!

    Some of us “oddballs” actually get it!

  7. Trump sometimes shrugs things off that he shouldn’t.

    Colon Bowel said Trump is drifting away from the Constitution. I’m not a constitutional expert, but I am not seeing it. Trump should take this on directly and ask Bowel where he thinks that has occurred. The charge that Trump is not adhering to the US Constitution is a serious one.

    Other leftists have called him a Nazi. Trump should address these ridiculous claims dead-on. He has the right to defend himself over these charges, and in doing so will make them look like the idiots they are.
