Trump remembers Colin Powell with “malevolent, spiteful, narcissistic statement”.

Of course Trump waited to attack Powell after death. Best time to hurt Powell's family and grab national attention.
Look at this thread. This is another tiny example of the enabling that has kept this horrible person at the top and in control of a major party, making everything ugly and childish, for six years now.

Look at world history: It's never about the man, the individual. It's always about those who choose to enable and empower them. Always.
 
And once again, the Trumpsters obediently defend the indefensible from their adored one.

So: Have they lowered themselves to this for him, or is this where they have always been?
It's where they have ALWAYS been, the difference is that former GOP Presidents used dog whistles, and it often went over their heads. Trump uses a bullhorn, and everyone in the party understands. That is why it is now a cult, and the love for this man is religious in nature.

Yeah, I do think that's it. This is what they have always been, and he's the one who brought it out, loud and proud.

This has been bubbling under the surface for a long time, fed by talk radio and then the internet.

(Referencing Don Trump and his base) "It's always about those who choose to enable and empower........"

There is truthiness in the postings above from 'Surada' & 'Mac '58'.

Also of note his morning, in today's Politico there is an opinion piece that I thought was, well, I thought it was traction-ful.

"Opinion | Trump’s Postmortem Roasting of Powell"

"Smearing the late general to gain attention is not the way to patch things up with the social media platforms that suspended him.

…. the postmortem smear didn’t illuminate Powell. Trump depends on his shock-jock skills to elbow his way into the public sphere and onto the front page. Wicked mugging like this may look brainy and calculating, but it’s a good bet that, for Trump, swinging wildly when nobody pays attention to him has become his first instinct.

The Powell incident doesn’t mark the first time Trump has dug up a corpse and danced it around to win the spotlight and score a few political points. Trump continued to verbally assault political rival Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain for months after he died in 2018. And he’s never been sentimental about America’s war dead. In 2020, the Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg reported that behind the scenes, Trump called them “losers” and “suckers.”

Trump seems to intuitively understand that these cheap shots don’t cost him with his base, which applauds his corrosive moxie. Given his history of explosive comments, he has set a baseline expectation for rude conduct that he must exceed to keep his fans entertained and to keep his critics appalled enough to drive his “statements” into the news.


(The result) “…….he will end up sending the equivalent of an audition tape to the social media outlets that have only suspended him .... that they should never let him return."

Well done.. Trump is real crass and stupid, but it puts him in the spotlight.
 
There is truthiness...
Most normal, well-adjusted adults understand that, when a person spends this much time and energy attacking and insulting others in public, particularly the dead, the focus is not on those they are attacking. The focus ends up, appropriately, on them, because of their behavior and temperament.

Coming to that realization is normally just a part of growing up. Let alone for a person with this much power and influence.

It remains astonishing that so many would put so much faith in a person who hasn't even reached that fundamental level of maturity.
 
In a meta sense you are correct in spite of yourself.
Powell was a globalist lackey obedient to his corporate masters.
How many deaths can be attributed to the needless Iraq war that Powell was
so instrumental in?

Trump has been for America first despite the mewling of international vampires like
Bush and Powell.

Trump is not guilty of being wrong. Just indelicate and blunt.
He's an orange sack of shit.

Bad press is better than no press

Of course Trump can complain that the biased MSM praised what other Presidents said about Colin Powell and only condemned him.
 
All of his brain dead minions will chime in to heap scorn on Powell.

Trump knows he will never measure up to people like Powell because his Daddy gave him 400 million dollars and said "Go spend it!"

In other words, he has accomplished nothing on his own, other than being the worst President in U.S. history. I will concede that.
It's true that Trump pales in comparison to Powell as a deranged war criminal.

Why do y'all love war criminals so much?
