Trump shows his ‘love’

-

Just when I think Trumpty Dumpty cannot get any lower with his tweets or crude remarks, he seems to lower the bar even lower. The man has no decorousne­ss or civility.

Soon after it was announced that Colin Powell had passed way, Trump said in a statement released Tuesday morning; “Wonderful to see Colin Powell, who made big mistakes on Iraq and famously, so-called weapons of mass destructio­n, be treated in death so beautifull­y by the Fake News Media. Hope that happens to me someday. He was a classic RINO, if even that, always being the first to attack other Republican­s. He made plenty of mistakes, but anyway, may he rest in peace!”

“But anyway, may he rest in peace!”

Could Donald’s nastiness be due to the fact that Colin was very critical of Donald? Or maybe it is because he voted for and supported Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton, and Joe Biden?

Over his term in office former President Bone-Spurs, has said “he loves the military more than any other president has ever loved the military.”

Really? So is this how one who loves the military so much speaks of one of our greatest four star general? As we all know Colin Powell spent most of his life in the military and served in the

Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush administra­tions.

In addition, he notably led Operation Desert Storm in 1991 as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was also secretary of state from 2001 to 2005. He was the first Black person to serve in either of the two positions.

Unlike Trumpty Dumpty, Colin was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He was born in Harlem as the son of two Jamaican immigrants and was raised in the South Bronx.
