He does shite like this while telling republicans not to vote if 2020 isn't overturned. Are y'all sure you know which side Trump is on?

He's allergic to anything but partisan hackery.

There is nothing petty about pointing out that the guy the media wanted to haul to Nuremberg as a war criminal and who "lied" to the UN, washed all his sins away by becoming (coming out as) a democrat.



And that had to be done on the day of his death?

What, exactly, did Trump accomplish here?

Everyone knows Powell turned leftward after his public service.

Because it also pisses off soy drinkers like you.

One rino (you) has to take up for another (Powell).

Do us all a favor and go away.

The election may have been rigged. I think tens of thousands of fake mail-ins were pumped into the system. I don't know about Dominion. All of that said, white suburban women despise him. They just can't get over the tweets. You have to show slightly more tact, but that's just not Trump's way.

Trump is on Trump's side.

That's the only side that matters to him.

No, he isn't wrong, but sometimes you show a little class when someone dies. There is plenty of time later if it comes up for debate.

I love what Trump did but sometimes he just needs a filter.
I heard every famous person on where is it, Telegram? Is mostly fakes and not the real people.

It is difficult to trust that people are verified properly on most new social media, it seems Telegram is a cesspool of tricksters.

I am hoping this statement is one of those.

As this statement is tacky no matter how truthful it is. It is a public relations disaster no matter who typed it out. It also makes it about Trump by insinuating- he hopes the media treats him well in death.

There are many ways this could have been written to give condolences while disagreeing with Powell's swamp politics.

Trump's spoxperson(s) need fired if the OP is real.

They say never complain without a suggestion...

The following: is a suggestion for a former President Trump.
quote:

"Melania and I want to express our sympathies to the Powell family. Covid has taken another soul and we are heartbroken. While General Powell and I were political opposites, especially regarding geo-politics. We were impressed with his steadfast biography of how he rose up- never letting prejudice against him stop him. He was a very astute and brilliant man."

In fact, the AP ran a piece today stating that [he is a war criminal] and letting Iraqis dance on his grave. Phonies didn't care because they couldn't concern troll about Trump.

22 hours since it was posted, no thread on it. Hmm.

I voted for Trump twice and would vote for him again but this is extremely classless. I just don't understand why he constantly does shite like this to sabotage himself.


He does it because his base loves it, as evidenced by comments here. All he cares about is mobilizing his base because that’s how he controls the GOP and if he can control the GOP and get in a one on one battle with a lib in the general election, he has a good chance of winning. It isn’t sabotage. It’s strategy. You said yourself you’d vote for him again. That’s what he’s counting on. He’s the only one who can get away with this and he uses it to keep control of his masses. It’s really simple.

Trump is a classic rat poison and is THE reason the Republicans are the minority party today.

I can't believe this man is so crass and thoughtless. Why would he use such a sombre occasion to make this statement?

I would rather he not have said this, but recall what the left said about Margaret Thatcher when she passed, and you can only imagine what the left and their allies in the MSM will say about Henry Kissinger when he passes.

This is true and why I don't really care what dumb thing Trump said

However, Trump being right doesn't make him a good or honorable guy. Ultimately I continue to think Trump is a narcissist of the first order who cares about nothing but himself (which is sad), but this is a war so if we can use him, I'm ok with it.

Nah, I prefer the original statement issued. Nobody is going to jump off the Trump train because he bashed some POS neocon.
