Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, a retired four-star general who served under three Republican presidents, slammed GOP nominee Donald Trump as a “a national disgrace” and an “international pariah,” according to his personal emails seen by BuzzFeed News.

The remarks came in a June 17, 2016, email to Emily Miller, a journalist who was once Powell’s aide. In that same email Powell also said Trump “is in the process of destroying himself, no need for Dems to attack him. [Speaker of the House] Paul Ryan is calibrating his position again.”

In an Aug. 21 email from Powell to Miller, he blasted Trump for embarking on a “racist” movement that believes President Obama was not born in the US.
“Yup, the whole birther movement was racist,” Powell wrote. “That’s what the 99% believe. When Trump couldn’t keep that up he said he also wanted to see if the certificate noted that he was a Muslim.”

Powell told BuzzFeed News, “I have no further comment. I’m not denying it.”
“As I have said before, ‘What if he was?’ Muslims are born as Americans everyday,” Powell wrote to his former aide.

Powell then recounted President Obama’s qualifications, including his graduation from Harvard as an editor of the Law Review.

Powell went on to write that Trump’s reported adviser, Roger Ailes — the former chair and CEO of Fox News who left the company after allegations of sexual harassment — wouldn’t help Trump with winning over women voters.

“And Ailes as an advisor wont heal women, don’t you think?” Powell wrote.

In an email from May of this year, with the subject line “racism,” Powell reiterated a position he had taken in that past, writing, “Or as I said before the 2012 election, ‘There is a level of intolerance in parts of the Republican Party.’”

And in a December 2015 email to CNN anchor Fareed Zakaria, Powell recounted his aversion to speaking about Trump to the press, writing, “You guys are playing his game, you are his oxygen. He outraged us again today with his comments on Paris no-go for police districts. I will watch and pick the timing, not respond to the latest outrage.”

In another email, Powell wrote to a recipient about his aversion to giving Trump any more media attention: “To go on and call him an idiot just emboldens him.”
In a July 21, 2015, email, in response to a news article about Trump’s giving out US Sen. Lindsey Graham’s phone number, Powell called it a “Celebrification of society,” adding that “Trump has no sense of shame.”

Bush asskisser.

Neocon drone.

A national disgrace. Colin Powell talks like me.

Daddy Warbucks also wants to "make it great again".....

At what point does a Senior Republican leader stand up and say we are done with Trump's juvenile bullshit and put him in a time out?

Is there a person in the Republican Party with the credibility, integrity, sense of duty, honor, and country who is willing to do the right thing for America with regard to the Trump farce?

This Trump thing is hurting America.

“Sad thing it that HRC could have killed this two years ago by merely telling everyone honestly what she had done..."

Donald Trump represents Republicans’ best shot to win the presidency, former secretary of state Colin Powell confided in a private email conversation this past February.

An apparent friend of Powell’s (who isn’t a public figure) sent Powell an email on February 24, asking: “If you wanted the Republicans to win the white house, who would you strategically cast your vote for? (Different than who you want to see as president.)”

“Strategically at this point I deeply regret to say Trump has the best, but hopefully, slim chance,” Powell replied. “None of the others remaining can approach Hillary.”

Affirmative Action and being a clean and articulate black man put him in a position for his opinions to be taken seriously. It's the same path old what's his name took to become president.

What's Trump done that's so bad again? Serious question.

Remember when Colon Pile went to the UN and told everyone we needed to invade Iraq because of WMD? The neocons loved him then, love him now.
