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.”

So, Did Michael Jordan cut his ties with Barkley????Last time I saw something where Jordan talked about how was to make fun of how “Sir Charles” was suffering some mental issues that made it impossible for him to swing a golf club right....

Continues to show his ignorance.

The rational amongst us has no interest in flooding this country with Third World refugees and immigrants illegal whatever Charles. If you’re so concerned about them, move to their country and take your millions and minions with you.

Just because you can afford private security and gated house doesn’t mean the rest of us can. You don’t have to put up with this crap screw you

disgusted at this situation than I am now. This turmoil every single day, the tweeting, the hiring and firing. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Why even post this propaganda against PDJT?

Its actually drivel from a drooling, puling idiot, unworthy of a readers eye.

After Bolton gets to work, you are going to see even more staff departures. Some may even go to jail. That’s a GOOD thing.,,,ridding the government of one liberal fascist at a time.

Exactly! His anger is completely misdirected. It should be at the dems, GOPe, and the news media.

Hollyweird and academia too but to a lesser degree on this one issue.

Charles Barkley is not the brightest bulb in the room. GDP growth, manufacturing output, consumer confidence, unemployment, black unemployment are all a the best they have been for decades under Trump. Not to mention crude oil and natural gas production in the US are the highest they have ever been. What on earth is Charles “best blow job I eve had” Barkley babbling about?

Isn’t Barkley thinking about running for office soon?
I’m almost positive I read that within the last two months.
This may account for him ‘Tryn’ to sound thoughtful, but still down with the struggle.

His remarks were scattershot feelings, not much more than ‘feelings’.

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.

Then why does he support so many Felons and Thugs in the NBA??
And why isn't he encouraging Parents to TURN OFF Pro Sports until Pro Sports cleans up their act and stops glorifying Thugs and Felons??
Why isn't he calling for the wholesale FIRING of Criminals in the NBA.

Let me know when this loudmouth starts calling out the Entire Democrat Party for destroying the Black Family and creating the ever popular urban ghetto, which is everywhere they touch.

Misleading headline. He’s not angry at Trump as much as he’s angry with the media and with government foot-dragging.

Barkley was a Republican, at least during his playing days when he was hauling down some serious money.

David Axelrod has a show on CNN? Figures..

Yeah, I saw that. The incest between the MSM and the Democrat Party continues unabated.
