The topic is Colin Powell. Please stay on topic.
Respectfully, the article contained a snippet by Trump regarding Powell's legacy and some comments were appropriate on the nature of Trump's comments, including rationale that may have prompted them.
No punishment, in my opinion, is too great, for the man who can build his greatness upon his country's ruin~  George Washington

Ah. The perfect man. If only some of our leaders were perfect. It turns out we each have our better points.
For me, even my better points disturbed many. My dad actually said things out loud that needed saying.
I am biased and agree.

Trump, Powell, or Bush each has areas that could stand improvement. Why discard or talk against the
successful characteristics that benefit us?

In the last 2,000 years there has only been one perfect man. He had adversaries also.

Trump posted on Twitter:
Uh, no he didn't. He's still banned from Twitter, remember? In other words, all of that was a hoax.

I visit another site Conservative Political Forum. It has a strong conservative leaning and many
there like Trump. They have stopped accepting new members. They have outstanding memes
that I occasionally post here in Political Graphics II.

It has tweets from Trump, called Trump Tweets, and that topic started in March 2018. Since then
they have included Trump commentary. Take a peek.

Technically the recent posts are not tweets, but they are from Trump. A nice collection.

The owner of the site seems to be more conservative thinking than I.
