Mocks Colin Powell immediately after his death: "Made plenty of mistakes"

The day after former Secretary of State Colin Powell died, Trump issued a statement attacking him. "Wonderful to see Colin Powell, who made big mistakes on Iraq and famously, so-called weapons of mass destruction, be treated in death so beautifully by the Fake News Media," Trump wrote. He concluded with the sarcastic dismissal: "He made plenty of mistakes, but anyway, may he rest in peace!" The comments were widely condemned as classless and cruel.
