Trump Derides Colin Powell In Fundraising Email
- by Ray Schultz , October 19, 2021
Former President Donald Trump has maligned the former Secretary of State and late General Colin Powell in a fundraising email, saying: Powell “made big mistakes on Iraq… and famously, so-called weapons of mass destruction.”
Powell, the first Black American to serve as Secretary of State, died on Monday of COVID-19 complications that were aggravated by multiple myeloma, a rare blood cancer that had afflicted him. He was 84.
Violating the usual decency of not speaking ill of the dead, Trump’s email characterized Powell as a “classic RINO” (Republican in name only) “if even that.”
Trump made note of the outpouring of media respect for Powell, writing, “Hope that happens to me someday.”
The message reportedly went to the “Save America” email list.
Trump is known for belittling military heroes who disagree with him, saying of the late Senator John McCain, who spent five years in North Vietnamese captivity, “I never was a fan of John McCain.”
So exactly how does this article help us as email marketers? Looks like a typical partisan shot.
There is no substance or any relevance to this article in this arena.
Is Shultz trying to interview for CNN or WAPO.
PLEASE KEEP BUSINESS PUBLICATIONS ABOUT BUSINESS AND STOP WASTING YOUR VIEWERS TIME. WE GET IT. RAY SHULTZ HATES TRUMP.
Honestly I can care less of Ray's opinion. He is not important. I came here to read marketing information. So please stick to that!
Agree. I want to read about marketing stuff. If I want political commentary, I'll check the New York Times. This article was way out of your lane.
also agree 100%. I think we get enough politics elsewhere.
