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.
Zakaria asked Powell and his other guest, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, about American foreign policy and whether the country is still leading the rest of the world by example.
Powell, a Republican who has maintained a low profile during the Trump administration, called out “what we are not doing as the United States of America.”
“What are we doing? We’re walking away from agreements, we’re walking away from alliances,” Powell said. He noted that Trump insulted U.S. allies at the NATO summit.
After Powell invoked the violence at Charlottesville, Zakaria asked: “Do you think this president can be a moral leader for the world?”
“I don’t know that he can do that,” Powell said. “Because right now that is not the way he is acting.”
Powell said that his favorite three words in the Constitution are “we the people.” “Recently, it has become ‘me the president’ as opposed to ‘we the people,'” he said.

GO AWAY, TWIT!
Isn’t this the same guy who lied and claimed to be a Republican, then used his position to undermine his President and eventually outed himself as a far-left liberal?
Everything in the headline is anti-American.
It’s a damn shame that this jackoff gets a BIG government pension.
That’s the one...you can see him suggesting people for Hitlery’s campaign in the state department emails.
[the retreat from the world stage,]
Um, what “retreat” would that be, idiot.
Trump has gotten more accomplished on the world stage than the last three presidents.
We are putting America first, and it is about time!
He is a nutless affirmative action wuss. He supported obama. Need I say more?????
Colon Pound can kiss our asses. He was a failure.
Where’s that “Yellow Cake” again, Colin?
He see’s an opening somewhere on the democratic field I bet
“Powell, a Republican...”
That’s a knee-slapper. Colon Bowel is as much a republican as Schumer.
Oh, he loves John Kasich.
Wow...didn’t see that coming.
SINCE OBAMA DIDN’T GET ASSASSINATED, MAYBE COLIN’s wife will let him run for dem VP
Affirmative Action General Colon Bowell is utterly clueless.
Attention, Generalissimo Colon Powder Puff ... Please report immediately to the Rectal Examination room, for your cranial extraction.
Is this shit really news anymore?
Poor old has been Colin Powell, the parade passed him by. He was a terrible SOS and a General. Just stay in retirement and shutup!!!!!!!!!!
