January 1, Bill Barr Says “Trump Will Burn Down the GOP”

Published

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
1789: 1st national Thanksgiving in America.

Bill Barr, who served as Attorney General during the Trump administration, called for “new leadership” in the Republican Party, warning that former President Donald Trump “will burn down the GOP.”

Barr penned a scathing op-ed for the Substack publication Common Sense, entitled “Bill Barr: Trump Will Burn Down the GOP. Time for New Leadership.”

The former AG noted Trump’s qualities that he had admired, including “the clear and direct way he staked out a position and his willingness to state unpleasant truths that many were afraid to say.”

“Above all, Trump had accurately diagnosed, and given voice to, the deep frustration of many middle-class and working-class Americans who were fed up with the excesses of progressive Democrats; the shameless partisanship of the mainstream media; and the smug condescension of elites who had mismanaged the country, sold them out, and appeared content to preside over the decline of America,” Barr wrote.

However, Barr wrote that Trump “lacks the qualities essential to achieving the kind of unity and broad election victory in 2024 so necessary if we are to right our listing republic. It is time for new leadership.”

Barr cited Trump’s “wrecking-ball style” as president. “He did not temper his disruptiveness and penchant for chaos,” Barr wrote. “He yielded to his impulse for pettiness and pointless nastiness; got drawn into infantile name-calling spats; and, in his press conferences, made everything about himself.”

Barr wrote that “the defining feature of our political landscape continues to be the sharp leftward lurch of the Democratic [P]arty” which “opens up a historic opportunity for the GOP—the opportunity to revive something like the old Reagan coalition: a combination of Republican-leaning, college-educated suburbanites; culturally conservative working-class voters; and even some classical liberals who are repulsed by the left’s authoritarianism.”

Barr concluded his piece with the following:

Trump’s willingness to destroy the party if he does not get his way is not based on principle, but on his own supreme narcissism. His egoism makes him unable to think of a political party as anything but an extension of himself—a cult of personality.

Trump is due credit for stopping progressives’ momentum and achieving important policy successes during his administration. But he does not have the qualities required to win the kind of broad, durable victory I see as necessary to restore America. It is time for the 45th president to step aside.

Trump hit back at Barr, calling him “a disgrace to the Republican Party” and the United States.

“Weak RINO Bill Barr always caved to the Dems, and is a disgrace to the Republican Party, and our Nation,” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social account.

“Sloppy Bill Barr was a weak and ineffective Attorney General who was fired (he didn’t quit!), and now he’s nothing more than a disgruntled former ’employee,'” Trump wrote.

    Good, then he can kick the RINOs and fat to the curb and make it a great organnization.
    The past GOP was too much in bed with the democrats and passified society instead of enforcing what they were voted in to do. Give em hell Trump and drain the swamp on BOTH sides! I know of at least ten republicans that need to go in addition to the deep pocketed supporters and traiters like Murdoch.

    We got Cheney out so it’s time to get a plan to go after the rest and get them out and put in candidates that do stand with Trump and the decent part of this country not the RINOs who just milk a paycheck while they steal the taxpayers money! They’re as bad as the democrats!

    I do wish that Trump would tone down his rhetoric and go after the crooks in our government quietly. You can usually accomplish more if whoever you go after doesn’t know what is coming before it hits. I do love Trump’s attitude about not owing anyone political favors and loves our country and citizens. He hates wars and has a live and let live attitude. He is a unique person. and can see ahead to what is coming. He certainly doesn’t need the money like so many of our corrupt politicians. Trump has his flaws, but so does everyone else. He is the only President that made our country strong and prosperous. With Biden and the rest of the Dems there will only be two classes of people in our country, rich and poor and they will rule our beings and you will obey them or die.

    Well I certainly HOPE so! Dump RINO’s and take back the strength and power of the GOP. Only Trump has the courage to do that.

    I’m glad that Barr found out what Trump is. It may been to late what Trump has done on January 06, 2022. I just hope that Trump won’t be President for 2026 if he do win the United States will be destroyed forever.

    . Barr is right. I voted for Trump twice, but I don’t want to be put in that position again. Ron is the man.

    Just wondering about some of you that gave the opinion of Trump staying out.
    So let me understand, if DeSantis runs and and wins and we here nothing but controversy about him for the next 4 years
    that means he should not have ran or ever run again no mater what he does? That make him a bad choice? Since when do we give a Dam about
    how the opposing party feels about a member of the GOP. As a Republican, you either know he can do the job or not.
    DeSantis is a fine person and a quality candidate for the job. But keep you eye on the ball.

    Barr was there 100% as a RINO only to hinder and stop Trump.
    Period!
    This however does not speak well for Trump who said “we” will have only the BEST PEOPLE working for us! Trump was only batting about 10% there. If even that.

    Trump has always been about nothing but TRUMP. He only says things that he thinks the American people will believe. He promised to make America Great but instead was successful in alienated the people as well as some of our alliance countries. I agree with Bill Barr that if Trump is reelected it will be worse than when he was President before.

    Bill Barr was a ‘Deep State’ plant inserted into the Trump White House in an attempt to ‘control’ Trump and get insider strategy information. He did not have Trump’s, nor ‘We the People’ best interests in mind. Barr was and is a Washington insider and part of the ‘Establishment’ that resented Trump coming in an ‘upsetting the apple cart’ of the ruling elite’s status quo. Trump deserves another term. He was a good President for America. Look where we are now.

    Barr is now worthless and so myopic he can’t see the GOP has struck the match to burn itself down. And is daily adding fuel. There are so few Republicans worthy of the affiliation it’s obvious that we now need a third party.
    The worry has always been that a third party would weaken the Republican Party. I submit that our Republican Party is so full of Quislings now that a third party would only serve to identify real Americans who believe in the Constitution.
    It goes without saying the democrat party is the Rosenbergs to the republicans’ Quislings.
