Former Secretary of State and retired four-star U.S. Army General Colin Powell described foreign policy under President Donald Trump as “in shambles,” in an interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria Sunday.
“I was a Republican who was Ronald Reagan’s National Security Advisor. I was a Republican who worked for George Herbert Walker Bush, and worked for George W. Bush.

Scum in Scum’s clothing (open Leftists) we can deal with.
The really toxic and ones to root out and eliminate from public office are the scum in friendly clothing.
“A political General. AA special.
Has there ever been anything more useless on Earth?”

And that’s all you need to know about Colin Powell.
Shut up!!! You’ve always been held to a higher esteem than you deserve and more and more you prove it by lying about being anything but a Deep State motard.......go pound sand!!
Check out his wife & while at it Paul Ryans.
He voted for Obama and Hillary. Where was his outrage for law and order when he voted for Hillary who destroyed emails, phones, was lax about Top Secret, Classified emails, etc.
Guess she wasn’t a major national foreign policy risk.
