Charles Barkley rips President Trump: 'I've never been more angry and disgusted'
Yahoo! ^ | Henry Bushnell, The Dagger

Posted on 04/01/2018 9:05:42 AM PDT by TaxPayer2000

Charles Barkley is best known for his goofy basketball analysis on NBA Thursday nights and during the NCAA tournament. But he’s not afraid to talk politics. And he’s definitely not afraid to criticize President Donald Trump.

Barkley gave his opinion on Trump and his policies during an interview with CNN’s David Axelrod. And they weren’t positive opinions.

CNN released a one-minute clip from the interview early. In the snippet, Barkley discusses his frustrations with Trump:

“Listen, I never talk bad about the president,” Barkley said. “I’ma be factual. 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.

“Like, dude, I’m blessed, and you are too. Like, it really ain’t gonna have a big effect on our life. But I actually have humanity. I want everybody to have a good life. I want everybody to have a good job. I want their kids to go to school, I want their kids to be safe. I want everybody to have economic opportunity.

“And I want to make sure we don’t forget about DACA, our public schools. I don’t want to forget about those poor people in Puerto Rico. I was watching the news last night, and still, six months out, they don’t have power. And we don’t even mention them anymore. We’re wasting all our time on Russia and Stormy Daniels. It’s ridiculous.”

Charles seems to have some displaced anger. It is not President Trump that has forgotten about DACA. It is not President Trump wasting time on Russia and Stormy Daniels.

He’s so brave, unlike all the other yapping heads who cower in fear, and refuse to be critical of Trump. He deserves a big medal for his courage in speaking out.

I’m sure everyone who tuned in to watch the F4 did so to get Barkley’s opinion on President Trump. Glad I am not watching.

Cannot stand the Capitol One commercials with the three racist guys - Chuck, Spike, and Samuel. Fast forward through them as often as I can.

I'm so disappointed in Barkley!

He is a smart guy! He said Zimmerman was not guilty & also agrees with the verdict on the Cop that shot Brown!

Don’t take the bait, Mr. President. He’s not worth it.

Last night when the F4 started their analysis of the game the lead guy opened with, “Kenny, what do think...”, Ken Smith got on sentence out before Barkely stole the opening and went on with his game opinion.

For the first time since Reagan left office, I am confident in America’s future.

“This turmoil every single day, the tweeting, the hiring and firing.”

This is funny coming from a controversialist. What possible difference does it make if Trump makes comments on twitter, or gets rid of those not carrying out his policies as he wants them to? Trump’s management style is to keep others off kilter. Why is that so threatening to some people? Do they really believe that the Clintons and Obama were “no drama”?

Did Chuck mention Black Unemployment is the Lowest it’s ever been?

Of course there are some people that think that’s a bad thing.

“Another horrible liberal making stupid comments about someone working to make America great again.”

He joins that “long list” of Black “intellectuals,” which counts the following folks as charter members: Sheila Jackson-Lee, Hank Johnson, Maxine Waters & Elijah Cummings. If any of these people had brains, they’d be dangerous.

I don’t want to forget about those poor people in Puerto Rico. I was watching the news last night, and still, six months out, they don’t have power. And we don’t even mention them anymore.

Charles, you were watching ABCNNBCBS or (P)MSNBC, not the news. They don't have power because they've been run into the ground by leftists policies and are sitting around waiting for government to do for them instead of getting off of their @$$e$ and doing for themselves.

And the fake news networks have mentioned them at least several times a week, trying to stir up Trump-hate.
