https://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/colin-powell-calls-trump-national-disgrace-in-personal-email?utm_term=.vyjZjgzrgp#.bubOePNEPdFormer Secretary of State Colin Powell, a retired four-star general who served under three Republican presidents, slammed GOP nominee Donald Trump as a a national disgrace and an international pariah, according to his personal emails seen by BuzzFeed News.
The remarks came in a June 17, 2016, email to Emily Miller, a journalist who was once Powells aide. In that same email Powell also said Trump is in the process of destroying himself, no need for Dems to attack him. [Speaker of the House] Paul Ryan is calibrating his position again.
And in an Aug. 21 email from Powell to Miller, he blasted Trump for embarking on a racist movement that believes President Obama was not born in the US.

(36 posts)3. Powell will always regret making the wmd case for W but
I always thought he was a stand-up guy, nonetheless. I'm sure he's not the only former SoS who thinks Trump is a national disgrace.
