In a CBS interview on Sunday with Robert Costa, former Attorney General Bill Barr intensified his clash with former President Donald Trump, providing a scathing assessment of his ex-boss. Barr’s comments come in response to a week of personal attacks hurled his way by Trump, and his unyielding proclamation that Trump’s future looks grim if even half of the 37-count indictment against him holds true.
Describing the circumstances, Barr emphasized that Trump was not a victim of government overreach but rather the instigator of his own problems. He stated, “He provoked this whole problem himself. Yes, he’s been the victim of unfair witch hunts in the past. But that doesn’t obviate the fact that he’s also a fundamentally flawed person who engages in reckless conduct. And that leads to situations, calamitous situations like this, which are very destructive and hurt any political cause he’s associated with.”
Acknowledging that Trump had “many good qualities” and had accomplished positive things during his tenure, Barr firmly asserted that Trump’s actions ultimately jeopardized the GOP cause. “He is a consummate narcissist and he constantly engages in reckless conduct that puts his political followers at risk and the conservative and Republican agenda at risk,” Barr emphasized.
When asked whether he believed Trump had lied to the Justice Department, Barr left no room for doubt, stating unequivocally, “Yes, I do.”
However, Barr’s most striking remarks came in the form of a revealing analogy, where he compared Trump’s behavior to that of “a 9-year-old kid who’s always pushing the glass toward the edge of the table, defying his parents to stop him from doing it.” Barr explained that this behavior exemplified Trump’s means of self-assertion and the exertion of dominance over others. He described Trump as “a very petty individual who will always put his interests ahead of the country’s, his personal gratification of his ego. But our country can’t be a therapy session for a troubled man like this.”

If people truely didn’t want the president to be a senior citizen acting like a middle-schooler, the polls would not be indicating the 2024 election would be Biden vs Trump.
He’s right. Anyone who attracts this much attention is NOT the man for the job. As much as you want to say “let’s get Trump back in there, he’ll clean it up!” Well….. he’s not the president right now, so we know how far that got him.
Don’t forget Barr was a loyal cabinet member even providing a summery of the Muller Report favorable to Trump which has unwarranted until he had enough of Trump.
He wasn’t this loud when he worked for him.
Presidents get a lot of attention
Anyone who can only rise to the top by putting others down is not the individual we want to choose! Small brain among all his others are just signs of desperation, narcissistic and disgraceful. Donald J. Trump did many great things as president but he clearly is not suited now. Just think how many people he’s fired and of course with his nasty, inappropriate comments to go with. William Barr is an American great.

William Barr is an American great and was also fired by the 45th president. Mike Pence is another example! Their pristine reputation o ly to be ridiculed by yhe former president.
There is nobody as healthy as Trump
-look what he was able to accomplish amidst all the insane witch hunts and lying attacks. Anybody else would have caved. He pardoned crooked Hillary out of kindness. He freed many people that were political prisoners – he certainly is on the arrogant side as our many people with such an intense work ethic and record of accomplishment. Trump is a true Hero and Bill Barr is a double talking windbag who is annoyed at trumps success
How about ywn refrains from mentionong trump for 30 days. בלי נדר

I guess we can look forward to Barr announcing his run…
I’m just amazed at the lack of understanding or even compassion for the horrific witch-hunts in the way of a coup, obstructions, impeachments, stolen election, 1/06 scheme etc., Trump endured since 2016. You call him a petulant child? The man is fighting for us though the most threatening circumstances when he could go hike and live out his days calmly with his family. Apparently, not many of you have the insight to realize that we are under attack by those who are aiming to transform us to a Fascist Country run by OW elitist globalists who are being supported by Biden & want only allegiance to their elitist governing body and that includes no parental rights, no Constitution, no religion , non private ownership. . Bill Barr is apparently being prepped by the Establishment that includes greedy Rhinos more interested in maintaining their greed than in the welfare of our Country. All will be exposed with Trump. Yes, Trump is feared on many ends but the people with a little understanding know that these corrupt detest him because he is for the people. Make no mistake, those against Trump are really against the people whose rights are being threatened by the Swamp that cares nothing about the people except their votes & promises made promises never kept. Lies upon lies while the country is sinking in every way including into moral decadence. Trump kept every promise evenunder constant obstruction during his presidency. . The attacks on Trump through a weaponized DOJ, FBI, CIA, etc ate all carried out through corrupt Courts ordered by lying Biden. If we don’t stand behind Trump through these politically induced attacks, the corrupt Democrats will continue to attack all of us. The IRS. Is already empowered. Please wake up and realize the truth about all the attacks on Trump and how can anybody have the nerve to call him a petulant 9 yr old when there is no one on the planet who would withstand the abuse he endured and yet continue to fight for the people.
Gloriakatz, didn’t you learn about paragraphs in school? Your angry inaccurate diatribe is very difficult to read without the use of paragraphs. Where do you get these ideas about globalist elitists and one party’s opposition to religion, private ownership, parental rights? That’s the kind of fiction spewed by Alex Jones.
“Acting like a defiant 9-year-old”?! well guess what – so is the rest of the citizenry ‘non obedient’ to you guys in Washington.
1000% nice man , but sick……………………..
yaakov doe
globalist elitists and one party’s opposition to religion etc. is all factually true. Time for you to start finding better sources for your information other than the NYT and the like.
[Alex Jones is BTW not a bad alternative. He’s surely way way more committed to facts than the NYT. Yes his initial reaction to events is conspiracy – which many times turns out to be right – but if he’ll say as fact something that isn’t true he’ll correct it. Does the NYT do that?]

Trump is unequivically unqualified to ever be President again. We can argue about how effective he was during his last term or how badly he was treated by the media, but one thing’s for certain, we need a fresh mature person in charge. I hope a different republican pulls way ahead of him in the polls & he drops out of the race. This will energise the party & hopefully lead to a win next election. We cannot have an immature self absorbed personality running this country even if he supports good policies.
