Uncle Mu's international commentary is about why Trump posted a message to criticize Powell and also used Iraq's example.
To solve this problem, we must understand the factional disputes within the Republican Party.
Don’t think that the Republican Party is a solid piece, it has never been, it has many mountains.
Trump is a representative of the non-establishment faction within the Republican Party, because many of his policies are taken in a different way, and many traditional Republicans do not like it.
and one of the representatives of the establishment is the Bush family.
2016 Jeb Bush also competed with Trump for the nomination of presidential candidates within the Republican Party! He is the brother of Bush .
And Bush Jr. dislikes Trump very much and recently even revealed that he does not support Trump's campaign for president in 2020.
This is not counting. When his father Bush Sr. passed away, Bush Jr. even didn't want to invite Trump to attend the memorial service.
This is a very rare action!
Because whether it is for the interests of our party or for national etiquette, Trump, as the current president, must attend the memorial service of the former president, but George W. Bush is not willing to let him come, which shows how bad the relationship between the two is!
What about Powell? Although he is not a founding faction, he has a good relationship with Bush and Bush Jr.
This means that Powell doesn't even look down on Trump, a guy who takes the wrong path.
Of course, Trump's recent criticism of Powell was also a fuse, that is, Powell made a speech criticizing Trump through the recent death of a black man.
Powell is the elite among black people, and his words will definitely affect many black people's dislike Trump more and more.
What did he say? Powell actually said that Trump was a liar, and he did not support Trump in the past and did not vote for him in 2016. This year he will support Biden .
Trump was so angry that he scolded Powell for being stubborn on Twitter .
also said that when Powell was in control of the US military, the Americans fought the Iraq War , but they did not find any weapons of mass destruction.
This view is not very new. As early as the 2016 election campaign, Trump said that the Iraq War was wrong, so he was preparing to withdraw his troops! This is the bond he and Powell have formed, so Powell did not vote for Trump back then. This is not surprising.
Therefore, the dispute between Trump and Powell is a scheming between the two major factions within the Republican Party.
But Powell is not actually a Republican establishment, at most a liberal or centrist.
Because his remarks and attitudes over the years are more similar to those of the Democratic Party.
How many people can Powell support against Trump is actually very limited.
For example, he has always suggested that the Republican Party should take the middle line and regain support from Asian, African and Hispanic groups, and need the government to play a more active role rather than let it go.
These are more similar to the Democratic Party. The mainstream Republicans don't like it.
