WASHINGTON — Charles Barkley is weary. He was never a fan of Donald Trump’s, even before the election, but now he’s tired of ‘‘this turmoil every single day — the tweeting, the hiring and firing.’’

In an interview with David Axelrod on CNN’s ‘‘Axe Files,’’ Barkley was angry with those voted for Trump, saying that the president’s message had resonated with voters ‘‘who just won’t look in a mirror and say, ‘My life sucks because of me.’ “

‘‘I’ve never been more angry and disgusted at this situation than I am now. This turmoil every single day — the tweeting, the hiring and firing.

He is given a voice/forum for his views while millions of us have not stage on which to present our play. We have been abused, disenfranchised, ignored and enslaved with no one other than God to come to our rescue. Trump is not a moral man, but he is trying in many areas to do what is right for the nation. We are at war.

I don’t want to forget about those poor people in Puerto Rico.

The Puerto Ricans lives suck because of the a near vacuum of values there. I've been there. I've seen it. They ARE at fault for their own problems and the subsequent corruption that comes with turning one's back on God. We're headed there fast.

Charles Barkley blocks passes and shots.

Ergo, he is the typical angry block man.

Bingo!

So, the dems are reduced to holding up hookers/porn stars, and washed up basketball players as their primary sources of inspiration. How pathetic and low can they sink? I’m sure they’ll sink even lower before too long.

Barkley is just another has been wanna be. He no longer gets praise for his basketball efforts so he thinks he is still important and some "authority" we should listen to. What he has to say we can do without, he just another mouth. (Like me :)

He’s a classic modern day liberal. He confuses feelings/caring with logic/facts.

And yet, if POTUS did the opposite he'd be accused of keeping incompetent, selfish people in positions of responsibility and not embracing new technologies to better serve the citizenry.

Oh Charles, you’re oh so sensitive. Butch up man!

I remember when oh-so-sensitive Chuck threw a man through a plate glass window.

I have traveled many times to PR on business over the past 3 decades; I have not been there since the hurricane.

I am in contact almost weekly with colleagues on La Isla Bonita; my understanding through them is that most of the island has power and water. One said over 90% and the isolated or remote areas are the ones without. There have been brown-outs from time to time but things have improved. So Barkley is way behind in his reading/knowledge of what is going on and showed his ignorance publicly.

With regards to PR’s “vacuum of values”,...I have not direct experience there with that, like I have in the US. That being said, PR is run by a politically corrupt Democrap machine which has been helped greatly by the US federal government (Congre$$) to create and perpetuate the same deleterious policies which harm the lives of many ordinary PR citizens, their families and communities. Overall, the people I have met and gotten to know are very family oriented, very courteous, hard working, nice - even have a few good friends. Perhaps I am biased now. /s

If he said anything positive about President Trump he would off the show with no friends. Just picking the cotton for the man.

This is exactly how Trump wants folks like Charles to feel. He trolls these people again and again allowing them to openly display their closemindedness and ignorance. Charles ,in fact most liberals will not admit or perhaps even realize theyre being played like puppets but it is sure fun to watch heads explode.

Who is he talking about? Certainly not conservatives.

If life sucks, Chuckie, it’s because of liberalism

Piss people off with welfare state, spying, corruption, riuining those public schools you pretend to love, “affirmative action”. Crime, drug culture, Obamacare. You get the picture

Your ghetto admirers. How well were they doing since The Great Society?

Oh yeah, and the Immoral Culture. 72 percent illegitimacy. A million abortions a year. STDs.

Speaking of, you ever get rid of those bugs from Hordonna?

...and seldom has he been more foolish.

Oh, yeah, he has...trust me.

He's a damned nitwit.

He actually floated the idea of running for Governor of Alabama...and got all insulted when he was very robustly laughed out.

He's made stupid remarks time after time about mundane matters that he should have stayed away from.

His pea-brain knows one thing...one thing only...how to handle a round ball.

A REAL claim to fame, now, ain't it?

But some people actually believe he has some political acuity that they need or his observations are so earth-shattering that they would actually pay him to dribble them into a microphone.

Personally, I think he's just another dumb-ass damned jock.

Immaterial and irrelevant.

And certainly immature.
