Colin Powell Rips Trump on Immigration, NATO, Anti-Press Rhetoric: The World Can’t Believe What’s Happening

‘We’re walking away from agreements, we’re walking away from alliances’

EXCERPT:

POWELL: "I don’t know that he can do because right now, that is not the way he is acting. Let me give you an example. My favorite three words in our Constitution is the first three words, 'we the people.' We the people. Recently, it has become me the President as opposed to we the people. You see things that should not be happening. How can a president of the United States get up and say that the media is the enemy of Americans? Has he read the First Amendment? You are not supposed to like everything the press says, what anyone says in the First Amendment, that’s why we have our First Amendment, to protect that kind of speech. If we keep doing things like this, and creating additional fissures in our society, it’s not going to serve us well on the international stage. I hope the President can come to the realization that he should really stop insulting people. I used this two years ago when I said I could not vote for him in the 2016 election. Why? He insulted everybody. He insulted African-Americans. He insulted women. He insulted immigrants. He insulted our best friends around the world. He insulted all of his fellow candidates up on the stage during the debates. I don’t think that’s what should be coming out of a president of the United States. But I don’t see anything that’s changed in the last two years."
