Appearing on Newsmax, Barr said Trump, who hinted that he would run again, would not be a good choice. “I do not think he’s our candidate – he’s the Republican candidate,” Barr said. “And I think Republicans have a great opportunity – it would be a big mistake to promote him.” In a poll in January, 57% of Republican voters said they would vote for Trump in 2024. Trump also won the Conservative Political Action Conference’s least scientific poll in February, by a wide margin. Trump, who has been ousted twice during his four years in the White House, has repeatedly teased his supporters by proposing that he run again. “We did it twice and we will do it again,” Trump told a crowd at the CPAC conference – again claiming he won the 2020 election. “We will do it again for the third time.” However, Barr’s statements will surely anger Trump, who has repeatedly clashed with his former attorney general since losing the 2020 election. In Barr’s book, One Damn Thing After Another: Memoirs of a General Attorneys, he wrote that Trump “had shown that he had neither the temperament nor the persuasive power to provide the kind of positive leadership he needed.” Trump, Barr said, has been surrounded by “slanderers” and “outlaws working outside the government, who have fed him a steady diet of consoling but unfounded conspiracy theories.” Trump responded by calling Barr “slow” and “lethargic.” “When the Democrats of the Radical Left threatened to despise him and, even worse, to accuse him, he became virtually useless to Law and Order and Electoral Integrity. They broke him like the trainer breaks a horse “. Trump had previously called Barr a “swamp creature” and “Reno [Republican in Name Only] Μένος frightened, weak and honestly… pathetic “.
