A day after the death of Colin Powell, former President Donald Trump attacked the one-time secretary of state as a fake Republican and an unreliable diplomat who helped lead America into the Iraq War.
“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,” Trump said in a statement released Tuesday.
Trump also bashed Powell, “a registered Republican, but always being the first to attack other Republicans."
He ended the comment with “[Powell] made plenty of mistakes, but anyway, may he rest in peace!”
聯合國是最重要的國際組織,因此美國駐聯合國大使克拉夫特(Kelly Craft)是重量級的大使。克拉夫特大使訪台的行程已經公開,卻在最後一刻取消行程,讓蔡政府白忙一場,也空歡喜一場。重量級大使的出訪應該是國之大事,卻出爾反爾,如同兒戲,可見川普政府的落漆混亂。此外,根據《維基百科/ Kelly Craft》,克拉夫特不是專業外交官,在外交界並無資歷與影響力,是靠著捐款給共和黨才獲得大使的職務。勝選者需要酬庸助選有功的捐款大戶,很常見;但是以駐聯合國大使這樣重要的職位酬庸捐款大戶,實在兒戲,難怪美國近年在聯合國愈來愈競爭不過中國大陸。
更沒想到在2020年大選,川普要連選連任,麥凱恩的妻子Cindy McCain及家族,在Arizona州以共和黨的身份,領導發動了一場拒絕支持川普,拉下川普的運動,堅持不斷的努力,配合墨西哥拉丁移民的抗議川普,竟然扭轉了共和黨的老本營Arizona州,川普以48.1% vs 50.5% 敗給拜登,11張選舉人票全屬拜登所有。
