Former Attorney General Realizes Trump Was Nuts.

  

8/28/22: Former Attorney General Bill Barr has finally figured out what most human beings figured out in the summer of 2015 or early 2016. Or - if they knew Donald J. Trump personally - long before. The guy is a terrible human being. 

And he’s nuts. 

(My wife, for one, rightly pegged Donald as suffering from Narcissistic Personality Disorder in early 2017.)

Barr, center, also said Trump's "stolen election" claims were "bullshit."
He told him so more than once.

 

Asked recently in an interview about his “most awkward” moment working for the former president, Barr responded, in apparent reference to a meeting on June 1, 2020: “The president was bellowing at a number of his Cabinet secretaries and especially the military guys, the DoD secretary and chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and calling all of us ‘f-cking losers’ at the top of his lungs.” 

This was around the same time that an unhinged, vengeful president was asking why he couldn’t call out active duty U.S. troops, and clear peaceful protesters outside the White House. “Why can’t you just shoot them, just shoot them in the legs, or something?” he mused. 

When rational individuals resisted, President Maniac lost his sh*t. 

Barr took his usual shots at Democrats and left-wing types in the interview But if we filter out the partisan lines, we’re left with this. Barr went after his old boss and gave him the kind of roasting he deserved. 

Taking note of the former president’s business career, Barr expressed surprise. “One would think that an executive would have a better idea how to operate with people and manage people.” Trump did not. Barr called him “a poor manager of people,” and his “own worst enemy.” 

(This blogger would change that to “America’s worst enemy”).

 

Barr told his interviewer that he was “disgusted,” “mortified,” and “angry” while watching the January 6, 2021, attack on Capitol Hill. He said Trump was “morally responsible” for the attack. It was “a shameful episode. It was a shameful riot,” he continued. “And the president certainly precipitated it.” 

“In fact, he’s incorrigible,” Barr said of Trump.  He “doesn’t take advice from people and he does his own thing, and you’re not going to teach an old dog new tricks. So I was under no illusion when I went in, but I felt there was a chance he would rally to the office and be more disciplined in his behavior.” 

Barr would not be Barr without attacking the Left, and accusing those of us who cherish the U.S. Constitution and long feared Trump, of suffering from “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” 

I’d argue that we figured out, starting with the pussy-grabber tape, if not before, that Donald J. Trump had no business setting foot in the White House. Not even as visitor. Electing Trump in 2016, was like electing Bill Clinton in 1992, if he had campaigned on a promise to force White House interns to provide blow jobs under his desk.

 

Barr told a reporter that he warned Trump at the beginning of 2020 that he would lose the election if he failed to “adjust” his behavior. His words were wasted, and the president “continued to be self-indulgent and petty, and turned off key constituents [sic] that made the difference in the election.” 

Even worse, Barr claimed, was what Trump was doing to the Republican Party. “The tactic that Trump is using to exert this control…is extortion,” he said. “What other great leader has done this? Telling the party, ‘If it’s not me, I’m going to ruin your election chances by telling my base to sit home. And I’ll sabotage whoever you nominate other than me.’ It shows what he’s all about. He’s all about himself.” 

Barr did have hope. “There’s never been more consistent conservatism within the Republican Party than there is today,” he said. “The idea that there are RINOs, people that really don’t support Republican principles, is simply not true. What the president is defining as RINOs are people who are true-blue Republicans and conservatives but who just have a problem with Trump personally,” he continued. “This is all personal to Trump.” 

Yeah. Classic Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Like I said, my wife had that figured out, and I posted my agreement no later than October 25, 2017.
