| Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America |
| 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. 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! |

| Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America |
| General Keith Kellogg has written a sweeping and powerful account of the Trump Presidency. He spent four years with me in the White House and in the 2016 Campaign for the Presidency. His narrative is factual and indisputable. Unlike other Fakers and Slimeballs that write fictional books without knowing me or virtually anything about me, The General knew me and my administration well, and he was there for every major National Security decision. Finally we have a real and inside account of our very successful four years. An incredible read published today. I strongly recommend this important book that will set a historic standard. Go get War By Other Means by General Keith Kellogg—it’s really good! |

MEMO: Lawsuit Filed to Defend Executive Privilege, U.S. Constitution
Today, President Donald J. Trump filed a lawsuit in defense of the Constitution, the Office of the President, and the future of our nation, all of which the sham Unselect Committee is trying to destroy. The fact is America is under assault by Pelosi’s Communist-style attempt to silence and destroy America First patriots through this hyper-partisan and illegitimate investigation.
● The January 6th Committee is a partisan sham to distract Americans from the Democrats’ policies that are killing and robbing Americans. For example:
o The Border crisis is flooding our communities with drugs and gangs, while costing taxpayers billions.
o The Democrats’ mismanagement of COVID exposed America’s elderly to a deadly disease and then in many cases, forced them to die alone.
o By defunding the police and embracing criminals, Democrats have made our cities less safe.
o The unconstitutional mandates are destroying the economy.
● The media is complicit in advancing the Committee’s unconstitutionally flawed request.
● This committee exposed itself as a sham by requesting documents which serve no legitimate legislative purpose—what does President Trump’s campaign polling data from Florida have to do with an investigation into January 6th?
The Legal Argument—Three Pillars
- No Legitimate Legislative Purpose: The legislative committees’ request fails to meet the basic requirement of fulfilling a legislative purpose. The request is not just overly broad, it requests documents including campaign polling data—what does Congress hope to learn from this?
- Newsflash: Polling shows Biden’s approval cratering and 2022 slipping out of Democrats’ grasp—no wonder the Democrats and the media want to distract America from: The surrender in Afghanistan, skyrocketing inflation, a border crisis, crippling COVID mandates, and a stalled legislative agenda.
- Former Presidents have inherent Constitutional Rights of Privilege: An incumbent administration does not have the constitutional authority to unilaterally waive the executive privilege of a previous administration—especially one so recent. If it did, then executive privilege doesn’t exist, including for Joe Biden.
- Newsflash: No one is following this argument more closely than: (1) Hunter Biden and his art dealer, (2) The Woke Generals and Intel leaders who advised the Surrender in Afghanistan and the bombing of innocent civilians and children (3) Big Tech who has been actively engaged with the Biden administration to subvert Democracy through dark money organizations
- Time for Review: The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has not even had the time to compile and organize the documents being requested by Congress—which is the largest request in American History. President Trump and Joe Biden should be afforded the time to diligently review any protected and privileged documents before it is released to the public.
- Newsflash: The Committee is motivated by one thing: delivering political wins for the Democrats. That’s why they’ve set a rapid timetable that steamrolls the Constitution, legal precedent, and established process. The Committee isn’t seeking the truth, it’s seeking Communist-style political persecution of President Trump and the America First patriots who served their country honorably.

What an awful, petty, childish thing for Trump to say about Colin Powell. Though the late General has made mistakes, Trump would have been a better person if he didn’t say anything at all. That being said, I’m not surprised by his comments. I just feel sorry that he cannot bring himself to take the high road ever!
No RINO took the high road when it came to Trump.
He has every right to feel the way he does. These people hounded him for years. Powell was one of them.
Hysterical comment about Powell??
I find it curious that the supposed standard of decency requires one to wait until someone has passed before recognizing good in that someone. I also find it curious the selective application of this standard. Sure, President Trump could have structured the statement about Powell more favorably, though I read it more an indictment on those controlling the media. Why are some still surprised that Trump’s strong suit is not tact? As someone once said (I paraphrase), “People seem to prefer Obama’s lies with style to Trump’s clumsy, bitter truths.”
Spot on.
Everything going along in accordance with the plans of the illiberal progressive agenda.
It is all about baiting the alt right to overreact in order for the progressive’s plans to start.
They want enough anger to be instilled into society in order to justify the need for a despotic “democracy to control the frustrated population and to provide the progressives with thier requirement for existence : power and control.
Trump hurts himself with these kind of comments. It would have been better had he said nothing. And you can convey sympathy to the family even noting differences and disagreements in the past.
Trump often doesn’t know when to shut up. And it often gets him into trouble. I have always understood that about him even before I voted for him twice.
And that’s why I like Trump.
Before his death Gen. Powell made the comment himself that his Iraq testimony would follow him forever. Pres. Trumps comments on his passing were completely accurate and with keeping in mind their relationship during Pres. Trumps term in office.

Also spot on.
The overwhelming feeling that I had after reading Trump’s statement was how wildly inappropriate and classless it was. The statement was, presumably, intended to honor Colin Powell (Otherwise, why say anything? I mean what decent person dumps on someone like Powell right after they die?). But Trump can’t just leave it at that, especially for someone who didn’t support him. And so we get the full display of Trump’s narcissism, self-pity, and claims of victimhood that are standard Trump fare. Is it too much to ask that he leave all of that stuff out if only for one day simply out of respect for Powell? Sadly, apparently, it is.
But it wasn’t just the mean-spirited things that Trump wrote. It was also what he didn’t write. Nowhere in his screed, did he mention Powell’s lifetime of service to this country, his combat service in Vietnam, or the character he displayed on a daily basis. Perhaps that’s because those things are simply a foreign concept to Trump.
Agree with his politics or not, Powell was a decent, patriotic American. He simply deserves better than this.
It is certainly true that Powell made a huge mistake on the WMD issue. But from what I have read on the matter, Bush’s mind was already made up, and he was just using Powell for the icing on the cake. Powell’s mistake wasn’t what set the war in motion. And at least Powell admitted his mistake and owned up to it. Because that’s what people of integrity do. Trump won’t even admit that he got Tim Cook’s name wrong.
And for those who think that there was nothing wrong with Trump’s statement, I pose this question. Suppose that Powell had died in 2012 and President Obama had issued this statement. What would have been your reaction? Would it have been “oh, that’s just Obama being Obama”? Or would you have agreed with Obama’s imagined statement and denigrated the memory of Powell? Somehow, I don’t think either of those things.
Just as point of reference, here is a portion of Obama’s statement on John McCain, the man who ran against him in 2008: “Few of us have been tested the way John once was, or required to show the kind of courage that he did. But all of us can aspire to the courage to put the greater good above our own. At John’s best he showed us what that means. And for that we are all in his debt.”
Funny. No mention of McCain’s involvement with Charles Keating. No complaints about not being liked enough. How could that be?
Trump hasn’t shown an ounce of class in his political career. But attacking Colin Powell is a new low or at least one on a par with his attacks on John McCain.
