Former U.S. Attorney General William Barr on May 5 showed up in Cleveland, Ohio, where he told reporters, “It is a horror show, you know. If you believe in his policies, what he’s advertising is his policies, he’s the last person who could actually execute them and achieve them.”
The “horror show” he’s talking about has nothing to do with current White House occupant Joe Biden. The horror show is what Barr believes will happen if Donald Trump is reelected president.
“He does not have the discipline. He does not have the ability for strategic thinking and linear thinking or setting priorities or how to get things done in the system,” Barr told reporters. “And so, 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” (emphasis added).
That’s quite the performance from the former attorney general for President Donald Trump and George H. W. Bush. Barr seems to have missed a few horrors happening now. Despite his obvious mental and physical decline, Joe Biden seems fully capable of delivering Bidenesque policies. For example, Biden says the border situation will be “chaotic for a while,” but there’s more to it.
Barr cannot be ignorant of the supply-chain problems, soaring crime and inflation, a weak economy, and fathomless incompetence from government officials such as Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg. On the other hand, Barr knows that Trump slowed illegal border crossings, built a strong economy, boosted energy independence, promoted Middle East peace through the Abraham Accords, and reduced the tax and regulatory burden on the people.
Whatever one thinks of these policies, there is no question Trump delivered them. Now the former attorney general prophecies that “Trump will not deliver Trump policies” and does not even have the discipline to do so. For Barr, this kind of partisan salvo is hardly out of character. -- excerpt, rest at link above --

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
