Barr On If Trump Becomes President Again: ‘Trump Will Not Deliver Trump Policies, He Will Deliver Chaos’

Former U.S. Attorney General William Barr, who served under former President Donald Trump, hammered his former boss this week when asked if Trump was fit to be President of the United States.

Barr made the remarks on Friday at the City Club of Cleveland in Ohio when asked by journalist Geraldo Rivera about the former president.

“Is he fit to be President of the United States?” Rivera asked. “Is Donald Trump fit to be president?”

“Well, this is the way I’ll answer that Geraldo, which is, if you believe in his policies … he’s the last person who could actually execute them and achieve them,” Barr responded. “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.”

“It is a horror show when he’s left to his own devices,” Barr continued. “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.”

Barr said back at the end of March that he believes the impetus for some of the criminal investigations into the former president, especially the case involving Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, are to “help Trump get the nomination.”

“Most Democrats who get involved in this kind of thing, they actually want to run against Trump, because they think — whether they’re right or wrong — they think they can beat him,” Barr said. “And so they are actually trying to help him by generating the support of his base.”

“And they feel that that will generate their own turnout,” Barr added. “And so they’re essentially, I think, playing for a repeat of the 2020 election.”

Authorities Report ‘Some’ Victims In Shooting At Texas Outlet Mall

Law enforcement responded to reports of an active shooting at Allen Premium Outlets in Texas Saturday afternoon and have confirmed there are “some” victims, but their status remains unknown.

The Collin County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed there was a shooting at the outlet mall, Fox 4 reported. The Allen Police Department also released a statement saying that officers were on the scene and investigating, telling people to stay away from the area.

The Collin County sheriff said that the shooter was dead at the scene and that there were multiple victims, including children, according to WFAA. Texas DPS and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives joined local authorities on the scene.

Live aerial footage from Fox 4 showed numerous law enforcement officials going into the stores as a line of shoppers walked away from the mall. The footage also appeared to show multiple bodies outside an H&M store covered by white sheets.

Allen Premium Outlets is around 25 miles north of Dallas and is home to over 120 outlet stores.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a statement following the shooting, saying that he has been in contact with the Allen mayor and Texas DPS director.

“Our hearts are with the people of Allen, Texas tonight during this unspeakable tragedy,” Abbott said. “I have been in contact with Mayor Fulk and DPS Director McCraw as well as other state and local leaders and offered the full support of the State of Texas to local officials to ensure all needed assistance and resources are swiftly deployed, including DPS officers, Texas Rangers, and investigative resources.”
