Former Secretary of State Colin Powell spoke out against President Donald Trump in an interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria on Sunday, blasting his anti-press rhetoric, the retreat from the world stage, and his insults of U.S. allies.

Another person who ought to be wearing an ankle monitor and denied a passport.

Keep speaking up, we’ll keep The List updated.

[bray]

Ain’t Affirmative Action wonderful.

[ilgipper]

Media is rolling out Kasich and Powell and the few remaining leftist democrats this week. Nearly everyone else is on board the Trump train at this point. They are down to the backbenchers who became democrat advocates long ago.

I tuned in for a minute and heard Powell complaining that instead of making agreements with world leaders, Trump is pulling out of them. Well, yeah, since the agreements want us to pay for everyone else’s corrupt plans. I am glad Trump is looking out for America. Powell also doesn’t think Trump can be a moral force for the world. I couldn’t stand listening to this for another minute and changed channels.

anti-press rhetoric

After the last 3 weeks of the press trying to destroy an innocent man, Mr. Powell you have the deceitfulness to say that regarding President Trump? Everyday the actions of the press prove President Trump correct and Deep Swamp members such as yourself not only wrong, but Anti-American.

Oh and lastly, what high school did you attend Mr. Powell, maybe someone needs to look into your background until you get your mind straight.

I wish someone would confront him with this fact and ask Powell straight up “So, General, since you claim to be such a proud Republican, can you a name a single Republican candidate you’ve publicly supported in the past, aside from politicians you were hired to work for?”

Of course, the mainstream media will never ask him that question.

...blasting his anti-press rhetoric, the retreat from the world stage, and his insults of U.S. allies.

The general doesn't make sense. Retreat from the world stage? Ask ISIS....

Slow news Sunday if Zakaria and GPS had to dig the general out of seclusion to bash The President.

[Fightin Whitey]

and his insults of U.S. allies.

While Sambombo disarmed Poland and armed Iran.

Step'n'Fetchit Powell.

[Boomer]

Colon Bowel; the token affirmative action hire.

[arthurus]

Retreat from the world stage? No. stepping out from the chorus and assuming the starring role.

[bert]

There is no retreat from the world stage.

The old productions have been shelved along with many of the tired old players.

Trump is creating new world class playbills with vibrant and wonderfully refreshing players.

All the world is his stage.......

[G Larry]

If it weren’t for the great General Norman Schwarzkopf, nobody would know the name Collin Powell.

“Irritable Bowel” is 81. I ‘m guessing he’s getting more senile with each passing day!

[FreeReign]

Irritable Bowel.

[GOPsterinMA]

That would be epic.

I suspect if he starts yelping a bit too much, the POTUS will tell him to FO.

[P-Marlowe]

Hey Powell, in case you hadn’t noticed, the world sucks.

MAGA.

[SunkenCiv]

Huh. Nothing from the racist a-hole Colin Powell for months, and as soon as the Kavanaugh confirmation happens, he's back on the air, trying to underming President Trump and the Republican party just before the election. DNC talking points / partisan media shill / Fareed Jihadiriyah ping.

[ Former Secretary of State Colin ... with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria ]

Yes, they have a common "messiah" and a common wish.....

[SaveFerris]

[If it weren’t for the great General Norman Schwarzkopf, nobody would know the name Collin Powell.]

Correct.

A friend of mine called out CP waaaaaaay back then as highly-overrated.

[jospehm20]

Colon Bowel is a “ movement”.
