What Dick Cheney Said About Donald Trump
Newsweek ^ | 11/4/25 | Kate Plummer

Posted on 11/04/2025 6:32:28 AM PST by DallasBiff

Dick Cheney became a vocal critic of U.S. President Donald Trump in the years leading up to his death.

The influential Republican figure, who held numerous roles in Republican politics, called the President a "threat" and a "coward" in numerous statements and interviews over the past decade.

Cheney, the former vice president to George W. Bush and influential figure in Republican politics, has died aged 84, his family has announced.

Despite sharing a political party, Cheney held a negative view of Trump and made a number of statements disparaging him, especially after his daughter Liz Cheney became involved in probing the January 6 Capitol riots.

He made what I believe are veiled threats towards Trump in this ad. His cowboy hate is like Hilary’s southern drawl.

Blinded by their hatred and TDS, unforced error. It revealed their incompetence.

I have several woke relatives who were batshit crazy with hate for Cheney 25 years ago. Cheney triggered them as much or more than Trump does now.

I’ll have to see what they are saying now.....

Not incompetence. It revealed who they always were.

Keep in mind that despite this obvious antagonism— both Cheney and Trump are somehow exact models of Hitler.

Both men were called hitler and worthy of death.

The far distance between these two men on politics yet the perfect consensus that they were both completely evil is proof that we do not face a principled ideological enemy.

There is an anti-Republican, anti-American ethic that grounds the opposition and radical Jacobin culture of America found in our media, Hollywood, academia, and federal employees.

9/24:

“Former Vice President Dick Cheney, one of the most influential and hawkish conservatives in the modern Republican Party and a figure reviled by the left, will be voting for Vice President Kamala Harris in November.”

I hope that back stabbing traitor rots in hell.

Wyoming, it’s a beautiful state, a great way of life out there.

At least he lived long enough to see Trump re-elected.

I’m thinking that Karl Rove was/is behind a lot of this Bush-crew TDS.

“Cheney, the former vice president to George W. Bush and influential figure in Republican politics”

He's not.
About as much influence as Chris Christie which is close to zero.

How many Americans and Iraqis were killed or maimed by his leadership?

How do you reconcile Cheney the warmonger with Cheney the VN draft dodger? You don’t; the man was a walking contradiction. One of the more telling things about Cheney was when GW Bush picked him to be head of his VP Selection Committee and whom did Cheney select as the best candidate? Himself.
