Bill Barr–the attorney general throughout much of President Donald Trump’s four-year term–said in an interview yesterday that it would be a “big mistake” if Republicans choose Trump again for their presidential nominee, this time in 2024. The ex-president continues to hold political rallies in which he intimates that he may run for the Republican nomination in 2024. Polls show that 55-60% of Republicans still say they want Donald Trump as the Republican nominee for president in 2024. I doubt it will be that high after the House committee investigating the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, holds its televised hearings to begin on June 9 this year.

Attorney General William Barr was such a lap dog for President Trump, even unethically misrepresenting the Mueller report. But then Trump lost re-election in November, 2020, and kept claiming that he lost due to voter fraud. And he began a huge campaign among his political allies to prove it, which continues even to the present. So, in December that year, only weeks after the election, Barr told Trump there was no evidence at all that he won the election. Barr then resigned.

Barr and Trump have not been on good terms ever since. In fact, Barr just came out with a book entitled One Damn Thing After Another: Memoirs of an Attorney General in which he recounts much about their differences. In it, Barr says Trump’s time in the Oval Office had “shown he has neither the temperament nor persuasive powers to provide the kind of positive leadership that is needed.” Barr further alleges therein that President Trump surrounded himself with “sycophants” and “whack jobs from outside the government, who fed him a steady diet of comforting but unsupported conspiracy theories.”

Trump, on his part concerning Barr, has resorted to his favorite tactic of attacking his opponents by calling them names. Like a Mafia mobster or a playground child, he calls Mr. Barr a “RINO,” which means Republican In Name Only, and “a swamp creature.” He now describes his former attorney general as “slow” and “lethargic.”

Such changes–from Trump ally to Trump opponent–by people like William Barr, who worked for President Trump, confirms what I thought about Trump way back when he began to campaign for the presidency in 2015-2016 and blogged about hundreds of times starting then and during his presidency.

For example, on May 20, 2016, six months before the presidential election, I posted, “I think Donald Trump is a big bag of hot air ready to blow up like the Hidenburg blimp if he becomes U.S. president.”

Ten days later I posted of Trump, “I think he’ll bring America down, not Make America Great Again.”

Twelve days after that I posted, “The arrogant, egotistical Donald Trump, . . . is constantly trumpeting his own self. Biblical wisdom says, ‘Let another praise you, and not your own mouth’ (Proverbs 27.2). It also says, ‘When pride comes, then comes disgrace’ (Proverbs 11.2).”

The next month I posted, “I think Trumpgate will make Watergate look like a Sunday school picnic.” We’ll see if that happens in the Trumpgate hearings in June and July.

All of this and a lot more is now contained in my new book, Bible Predicts Trump Fall.
