The Good Life of Colin Powell

Michael Reagan on

Literally running toward us and pushing his way through the crowd, he called out my name, put his hand on my shoulder and turned me around.

“I just want to tell you,” he said, “You know, your father loved you.”

Powell, who understood the dynamic of my family, loved my father. My father loved him – and once told me he would support him for president if that day came.

It’s easy to understand why I was so upset by what Trump and some other Republicans said this week about Colin Powell.

Donald Trump will never understand it till the day he dies. But if he had lived by the words that are carved into the stone at my father’s gravesite instead of his own, he might still be president.
