Charles Barkley is best known for his goofy basketball analysis on NBA Thursday nights and during the NCAA tournament. But hes not afraid to talk politics. And hes definitely not afraid to criticize President Donald Trump.
Barkley gave his opinion on Trump and his policies during an interview with CNNs David Axelrod. And they werent 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. Ima be factual. Ive 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, Im blessed, and you are too. Like, it really aint 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 dont forget about DACA, our public schools. I dont want to forget about those poor people in Puerto Rico. I was watching the news last night, and still, six months out, they dont have power. And we dont even mention them anymore. Were wasting all our time on Russia and Stormy Daniels. Its ridiculous.

That's beautiful, Chuck. You're a deep guy.
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.
Another horrible liberal making stupid comments about someone working to make America great again.
JoMa
In the immortal words of Laura Ingraham, “Shut up, and dribble”.
Charles...factual? Nope
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.
Not even when his Lord and Savior Obama did these things??
Cannot stand the Capitol One commercials with the three racist guys - Chuck, Spike, and Samuel. Fast forward through them as often as I can.
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.
David Axelrod has a show on CNN? Figures..
He criticizes the President because of all the discussion about Stormy, Russia and no DACA deal....oh that’s rich
“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”?
You can take the hood out of the ghetto but you can never take the ghetto out of the hood.
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.
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.
