After former Secretary of State Colin Powell appeared on CNN’s State of the Union and said he was going to vote for Joe Biden in the November presidential election, President Trump took to Twitter to criticize the decision as well as Powell himself and his tenure in office.
The president called Powell “a real stiff who was very responsible for getting us into the disastrous Middle East Wars” and that he had “just announced he will be voting for another stiff, Sleepy Joe Biden.”
Colin Powell, a real stiff who was very responsible for getting us into the disastrous Middle East Wars, just announced he will be voting for another stiff, Sleepy Joe Biden. Didn’t Powell say that Iraq had “weapons of mass destruction?” They didn’t, but off we went to WAR!

Connecticut Republican State Senate candidate JT Lewis responded to Trump in a tweet that the president retweeted by saying that “retired bureaucrats hate President Trump because he’s draining the swamp and ending the corruption that pads their retirement accounts!”

Trump lashed out again at Powell an hour later by laying out his own record in the White House and called Powell “highly overrated.” Trump supporter Arthur Schwartz pointed out that “Powell created more Gold Star families than almost anyone else in history.” Schwartz said therefore, “he should sit down and shut his mouth.”
Somebody please tell highly overrated Colin Powell that I will have gotten almost 300 Federal Judges approved (a record), Two Great Supreme Court Justices, rebuilt our once depleted Military, Choice for Vets, Biggest Ever Tax & Regulation Cuts, Saved Healthcare & 2A, & much more!
Powell created more Gold Star families than almost anyone else in history. He should sit down and shut his mouth.
