Former Secretary of State Colin Powell blasted Donald Trump as a "national disgrace" and "international pariah" in a personal email exchange that was leaked online by hackers.

Powell, a retired 4-star general and a Republican, confirmed the authenticity of the emails to NBC News.

"The hackers have a lot more," he added.

The contents of the emails were first reported by Buzzfeed News. It said the messages had been obtained by the website DCLeaks.com which MSNBC reported is rumored to have ties to Russian intelligence services.

Powell called Trump a "national disgrace" and "international pariah" in a June 17 email to a former aide, saying the Republican presidential contender was "in the process of destroying himself, no need for Dems to attack him."

Coming from a racist traitor like Colon, that’s a compliment.

There are far more damning emails in the hack, but NBC news chose to cherry-pick this one. Frustrating that we can’t do much about it.

The emails sound like a high school clique commenting on their fellow students. Lots of gossip and barbs. Childish.

Didn’t Powell support Obama? Why is he still even considered a Republican?

Colin never misses a chance to embarrass himself. He is petty and gossipy.
