President Trump called Colin Powell a “real stiff” on Sunday — after the former secretary of state announced he would endorse Joe Biden for president.
“Colin Powell, a real stiff who was very responsible for getting us into the disastrous Middle East Wars, just announced he will be voting for another stiff, Sleepy Joe Biden. Didn’t Powell say that Iraq had ‘weapons of mass destruction?’ They didn’t, but off we went to WAR!,” Trump wrote on Twitter shortly after Powell appeared on CNN.
Powell, who is the first African-American to serve as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and secretary of state, joined with other former military leaders who criticized the president’s comments about using US troops to stop unrest following the death of George Floyd.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Somebody please tell highly overrated Colin Powell that I will have gotten almost 300 Federal Judges approved (a record), Two Great Supreme Court Justices, rebuilt our once depleted Military, Choice for Vets, Biggest Ever Tax & Regulation Cuts, Saved Healthcare & 2A, & much more!

Colon powell and kraperknickers. Waste of O2.
Colin got to where he was because a token was needed.
Oh my, Trump is so disrespectful of a disrespectful affirmative action general. What do we do when George W. Bush and Mitt Romney join him? /s
A general who supported obama and Clinton now supports Biden. This is news?
Powell, like all Black critics of Republicans, has been off limits for criticism from Republicans fearing being tarred as racists.
President Trump, on the other hand, doesn’t take crap from anybody.
“real stiff”
Now people will no longer be able to use the words “real” and “stiff” because the language Nazis will conjure up and then discover their hidden racist meaning.
I still want to chop off my right hand for voting for bush.
But i’ll need it to vote for Trump.
I got a laugh when some were incensed when I called the father what he was when he died. A neocon one world government bum.
“Show some respect for the dead!!” i was told.
Why?
A man who sells out his own country doesn’t deserve respect in life or death.
Love it. Has GW come out and endorsed Biden yet? I can hardly wait for his response to that.
Didn’t Powell do the same thing to W? General Powell never said boo when General Flynn lay wounded on the DC battlefield. Old dying Generals with their version on the Tet offense.
Freepers despise no one more than traitorous back-stabbers, like Powell, Schrub, Romney, McCain, Ryan, Murkowski and on and on and on....
The “Republican” who endorsed for Obama twice, Hillary and now Biden.

from yesterday
“tarred as racist”
Tarred sounds racist. LOL
I would not expect anything different from Powell. He is following George W. Bush’s lead. They would like to stop the pain that is headed their way after the election.
*endorsed and voted for
Mr. President, I am so thankful you are in the White House for such a time as this and your administration has accomplished so much in spite of the evil opposition you face; however, don’t forget to Give God the Glory.
