If there was any point in time that Trump can prove to be an actual leader, it would be now but it’s evident as ever that he’s not fit for the job as president of the United States. Even so, there are still many people advocating for a second term but the numbers are seemingly decreasing, at least within his own party.
Major Republican figures have denounced Trump as the 2020 election approaches including former president George W. Bush, new reports claim. New York Times reports that Bush and Senator Mitt Romney, who ran against Obama, will not be voting for Donald Trump in the upcoming election, though it’s unclear whether they’ll be voting for Biden. Jeb Bush also is on the fence on who to vote for while Sen. John McCain’s wife is nearly certain she’ll vote for Biden, though she doesn’t know “how public to be about it because one of her sons is eying a run for office.”
This all comes at the heels of Trump’s leadership in regards to the protests against police brutality and racism as well as the coronavirus pandemic. Though the names previously listed have yet to come out publicly, long-time Republican Colin Powell, former US Secretary Of State, came out publicly in support of Joe Biden.
“We have a Constitution and we have to follow that Constitution and the president has drifted away from that,” he said. “I’m very close to Joe Biden on a social matter and on a political matter. I worked with him for 35, 40 years, and he is now the candidate and I will be voting for him.”
Of course, it didn’t take long for Trump’s Twitter fingers to start itching. “Somebody please tell highly overrated Colin Powell that I will have gotten almost 300 Federal Judges approved (a record), Two Great Supreme Court Justices, rebuilt our once depleted Military, Choice for Vets, Biggest Ever Tax & Regulation Cuts, Saved Healthcare & 2A, & much more!” Trump tweeted.
