'Trump will not deliver Trump policies': Former Attorney General Bill Barr claims it's a 'horror show' when Trump is at the helm
[Blaze] Former Attorney General Bill Barr described it as a "horror show" when former President Donald Trump is "left to his own devices."

Barr — who served as attorney general during a portion of Trump's tenure after previously holding the post during a portion of George H.W. Bush's presidency — made the comment at an event in Cleveland, Ohio, after Geraldo Rivera asked whether Trump is fit to serve as president.

Barr responded by saying that for those who believe in the policies Trump espouses, the former president is "the last person who could actually execute them and achieve them." Barr claimed that Trump lacks the "discipline," the capacity for "linear thinking or setting priorities, ah, or how to get things done in the system. It is a horror show ... when he's left to his own devices," Barr asserted.

Barr continued, "You may want his policies. But Trump will not deliver Trump policies. He will deliver chaos, and, if anything lead to a backlash that will set his policies much further back than they otherwise would be."

Trump is running for president again, but Barr noted that he is "adamantly against Trump." Barr said that he thinks it would be a "tragedy" for the former president to become the GOP nominee.

#1 And yet, Billy Boy, after four years of Trumpian chaos, we were in much better shape than after two years of O'Bumbles third term.

#2 Trump will forever be Blackballed by the Beltway Bandits and Swamp that actually rules in the background. Because he looked after America 1st, he has cost them years in implementing Global Government and $$$ Billions in family / Cartel income.

#3 Translation: DC requires a President like Biden that just lets the corruption, grifting and bureaucratic state continue.

#4 I am afraid we are reaching the point where, in the Newly Reconstituted Republic™ (Faster, please!) all former gummint officials, elected, appointed or insinuated into service, will, upon leaving gummint service be given the choice of immediate euthanasia or exile to a island where no journalists will be allowed to visit.

#5 Never appoint an AG who looks like Elton John.

#6 It's not like any policies he tried to implement were opposed tooth and nail by the bureaucracy and Ryan congress or anything.

#7 Bill Barr would have been a lot happier if he'd been appointed AG by Jeb Bush.

#8 Barr will not be happy until Trump is his wall decoration, frozen in carbonite.

#9 I voted for Trump twice. I never liked him, but for all his bullshit post 2020 I am now actively against him.

He is not irreplaceable. All you Republican party members need to get a candidate I can vote for.

#10 /\ Same here POD. I just don't travel in tse circles. Nothing personal mind you. I blame a very humble, rural upbringing.

Give us an alternative who will secure the border and tell Xi Jinping to fuck off.

#12 It is a horror show when Trump is running it. Absolutely. Its true horror for the socialists, grifters, power mongers, haters, and the rest of corrupt DC. Absolute and uncontrollable horror!

#13 Barr lives in a world of good ‘ol boys. Protect each other and happy with being controlled opposition. If I listed Trumps actual, meaningful accomplishments here the list would the longest of any sitting president in our lifetime. They hate him because he exposed and embarrassed them. A guy like that isn’t supposed to be able to lead this country. You are supposed to pick from a selected group of rulers and the controlled opposition only..

#14 Agree with #9 and #10. Trump's appeal has become more selective.

How about the current governor of Florida, Abu?

#15 ^ DeSantis would be a great nominee. The smears that the "Nobody but Trump, Evah™!" crowd are running are unseemly, false and, yes, are turning some people off Trump. As #s 9 and 10 point out, Trump needs no help in that department.

He's working overtime at it by his ownself.

#16 The most horrible thing Trump did was not fire loyal-only-to-fellow-bureaucrats people like Barr.

China sees the people who are really running the US and using Presnident Alzheimers as a puppet and sees all the old wuxia novel villains like End of the T'ang Dynasty Corrupt Bureaucrat # 32723.

So you want a typical swamp politician to continue to increase the national debt instead of a capitalist who never held a political office until the Presidency because he was busy becoming an successful billionaire prior to 2016. This confirms why this generation is so stupid and deserves the corrupt Biden clan and the corrupt uni-party to rule over them.

#18 If he should be like Moses, who led the Hebrews out of Egyptian slavery through the desert to the Promised Land, but died overlooking the border, that is still an outcome to be proud of. Ronald Reagan promised it could be done, and Donald Trump showed us how. There is an entire generation of Republican politicians who know it is their job to pick uo that baton and carry it to the finish line.

#20 Does anyone listen to Barr anymore; he was an impediment to cleaning up and reforming the Jusice Department. He had a shot at being great and blew it.
