It’s not often that candidates attack those who support them, but that happened Wednesday night when Donald Trump launched a speech aimed at Bill Barr.
Trump noted that he said a lot of mean things about his former attorney general. However, after the approval, the former president withdrew exactly one of those insults.
“I called him ‘weak, slow, lethargic, gutless and lazy,'” Trump wrote in a late-night speech on his Truth Social website. “As I greatly appreciate his full support, I am removing the word ‘Lethargic’ from my statement.”
Once a close ally of Trump, Barr has since drawn the former president’s ire for criticizing him during his frequent media appearances in recent years.
Barr dismissed Trump’s election fraud claims as “bullshit“, criticized Trump’s conduct after the election as “objectionable“, and called Trump “a very small individual who will always put his interests before those of the country.
Barr called Trump “ahorror showwho “will bring chaos”, insisted that he “lack of any self-control“, and declared that Trump had grown up “detached from reality» after losing in 2020.
Yet last week, Barr called the election “two bad choices” and said he would vote for Trump.
“Trump may be playing Russian roulette, but continuing the Biden administration is national suicide in my opinion. » he said on Fox News.
Critics of Trump and Barr hit back on social media:
Barr deserves 100% of this humiliation.

It feels weird to agree with him on something.

I don’t think DJT was ever known for his wit
Do you think anyone else helps DJT write his posts?
