Trump’s vocabulary, according to Bill Barr
During an event at Harvard’s Institute of Politics on Thursday night, Barr spoke about his former boss in largely unfavorable terms. At one point, CBS Chief Correspondent Jan Crawford asked him if he thinks Trump is losing his mind. She cited the former president’s comments calling Hezbollah “very smart.”
“That was appalling,” Crawford said. “I mean, do you think he’s– is he losing it?”
“His verbal skills are limited,” Barr replied, prompting chuckles from the audience. “And so he, you know, if you get him away from ‘very, very, very,’ the adjectives sort of– they’re unfamiliar to him and they sort of spill out and he goes too far. You know, he’s not very disciplined when it comes to what he says.”
Speaking in Florida earlier this month, Trump said Hezbollah – the Iran-linked militant group – is “very smart,” which prompted ridicule across the spectrum. His comments echoed past praise of other notorious figures around the world, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Elsewhere during the program, Barr called Trump “a very petty man” and said he is running for president again for “retribution.”
“Things would start moving toward chaos,” the former attorney general said.
Moving toward chaos??? Was he sleeping the last three weeks? The last six years???
Barr has not said he wouldn’t vote for Trump, by the way. He’s not a fan of that hippie Joe Biden so…
