Colin Powell, a man respected on both sides of the aisle, died on Monday. Here is the quote from Trump on his passing:
"Wonderful to see Colin Powell, who made big mistakes on Iraq and famously, so-called weapons of mass destruction, be treated in death so beautifully by the Fake News Media. Hope that happens to me someday," Trump said. "He was a classic RINO, if even that, always being the first to attack other Republicans. He made plenty of mistakes, but anyway, may he rest in peace!"
Totally classless.
Powell did his job well, he was part of a team, and that team combined got it wrong. Blame one blame all. Trump's comment was a cheat shot, unkind, and uncalled for.
I would not ever support war. Yet who doesn't Trump down who is popular. Just don't know how megalomaniac keep going.
I dislike Trump as much, if not more than anyone else, but you have to admit the guy is consistent. You can rest assured that Trump will be there to not only ensure you make it to your grave, but also pee on it once you're buried. That's more than I can say for most politicians, businessmen, and people in general who hide behind social justice narratives and virtue signaling as a way to slither their way to the top.
Would I vote for the guy, want him as a leader, support him, or anything else positive? No, and that's a big ole heck to the no. However, at least we can always count on him to throw a sucker punch to the side of our heads if we keep him around, and that's the kind of consistency that breeds trust in outcome.
Hopefully, Trump is considered "persona non grata" at the funeral as everybody knows that General Powell had a less than low opinion of him.
The "man" has a serious inferiority complex. A Compensatory narcissist, no doubt.

Every time I use IE as a browser, my computer gets hung up or I can only see part of a website, or I get an error message. I'm just curious as to why it even still exists.
