They burry their heads in the sand until a negative trump story is manufactured. It’s hilarious you’re still worried about mean tweets while the economy is crumbling, China is launching nukes around the South Pole, etc. and this administration hasn’t done a single positive thing since taking office. Literally 0 wins.
These clowns gave us Biden and no amount of trump jumping through hoops will change their minds. They don’t take into consideration any real world stuff like the botched Afghan withdrawal or you know inflation. Stuff that directly effects them. Keep worrying about mean tweets.

rumpisma and Progressivism. Y'all are two sides of the same coin. You literally hate people who disagree on a few subjects.
No, I just don’t pretend I hold some moral high ground by running and saying how mean Trump is when he tells the truth and completely ignore anything I’ve ever said or done in my life.
Like the grab them by the pussy thing. I know liberals that were disgusted by that yet get drunk and hit in women, trying to grab their Pussy. Then when sober it’s back to women’s rights!!! Trump a rapist and I’m going to vote for another guy accused of rape instead because I’m better than you and a narcissist.
You people are fricking dishonest pieces of shite.

Powell's actions led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.
If referring only to his being the spokesman for the administration's WMD claims, it goes back even before that.
It will be interesting how future historians present his participation in the initial Gulf War.
The loss of our own people's lives could've been even worse.
In the initial Gulf War, when it came to actually planning the offensive, with real bullets flying, his tactics showed that he was one more coddled product of the system.
During the planning stages of the Gulf War, when he presented his tactical plans for the offensive, Schwartzkopf was appalled.
His basic approach involved an "over-the-top" assault that was last seen in the trench warfare tactics in World War I.
Schwartzkopf told Bush that if he was forced to use Powell's tactics, he would quit.
It's then that Schwartzkopf was given the reins for the offensive, which turned out to be closer to blitzkrieg and an actual desire to win the thing, unlike with Vietnam.
But there was more to Powell.
He was fawned and gushed over by the Repubs for obvious reasons. Then when he turned on them, he became a favorite of the leftist media - just like Roberts on the S.C.
With all this feigned, postured outrage over Trump, can one imagine how the leftist press and future leftist historians will present his time in office.
He won't even get faux crocodile tears out of them.
He's more than aware of this, so let 'er rip.

Yeah? Well, sometimes, when you played a part in sending our troops to fight in a war that means nothing, you do not deserve a little class when you die...

It’s being reported as being released by his PAC. I haven’t seen an original.
I checked the PAC's site, and it's not there. However they haven't posted anything for 10/19, so maybe it's just not updated.
It's being run with on MSM, and the message seems on point for him. On another site someone is calling it fake news, so I was just trying to track down a link at the source.

Come on people, this is clearly fake news. This is why I don’t follow the msm, they're all liars. Not surprised that the leftists got sucked in so hard. Whoever put this together knew exactly how to trigger the gullible leftists, not that fake news affects their opinion. President Trump is a very honorable man who loves this country, he has proven this many times. He wouldn't have made a statement like that even if that is how he felt. When are people going to wake up to the msm lies?

No one cluthing their pearls actually cares about this. Trump is trying to get back in the news and get people to his website/Gab and it's working. It's the 2015 strategy.

It's on Trump's Gab account.

He won't lose a single voter over these comments.
Oh, I agree. Unfortunately, the last election proved he doesn't have enough of those.
He gained zero votes as well, and reduced the likelihood of gaining any at all.
He needs to stay home in 2024

Anybody recall anything Powell said about Trump, good or bad?
Not siding either way, I honestly don't know.

I liked what Trump did as President but this is an example of why he was so hated and everyone was willing to cheat to get rid of him. Way better to remain silent than bash a dead man. JMHO

Meh
Personally, I'd have advised Trump against it.
But, it's pretty obviously a jab at the media as much as anything else.
The media shite on Powell huge regarding WMDs and now, they only love him because he was anti-Trump.

You don't have to laud Powell, but it isn't necessary to act like the filth either. Say nothing, or just express condolences to the family.
This is the kind of stuff that drives me crazy about Trump. He actively gives ammunition to his enemies, and he shoots himself in the foot all the dang time.
Fight like Hell, yes! Be a dumass dick, no.

Pathetic. I am no fan of Powell at all but come on Trump. This is why Republicans have taken L after L since 2016.
