Former Secretary of State Colin Powell appears to despise Donald Trump, according to emails obtained in a hack and published by DC Leaks. Buzffeed first reported on the leaked emails, calling attention to the Powell calling the Benghazi hearings a "witch hunt" but also calling Trump a "national disgrace" for his racist comments and role in the birther movement. Powell also dissed Bill Clinton by saying he's still "dicking bimbos at home."

Buzzfeed reported Powell's comments about Trump were sent in an email to journalist and former aid to Powell, Emily Miller, on June 17. In the email, Powell not only called Trump "a national disgrace," but also an "international pariah." Powell went on to write that Trump is "is in the process of destroying himself, no need for Dems to attack him. [Speaker of the House] Paul Ryan is calibrating his position again."

On August 21, Powell emailed Miller and wrote that Trump's birther movement was: "Yup, the whole birther movement was racist. That’s what the 99% believe. When Trump couldn’t keep that up he said he also wanted to see if the certificate noted that he was a Muslim." Powell also wrote, "As I have said before, 'What if he was?' Muslims are born as Americans everyday."

Also included in the emails hacked was a message Powell wrote to big-time Democratic donor Jeffrey Leeds regarding Hillary Clinton and her husband Bill Clinton. In a July 24. 2014 email to Leeds, Powell wrote that while he respects Clinton and thinks of her as a friend, she's greedy, and that her husband is "still dicking bimbos at home (according to the NYP [New York Post])."

Leeds and Powell also exchanged messages in March 2015 and March 2016 that suggest Clinton and president Obama can't stand one another. In a message replying to Powell in March 2015, Leeds wrote that Clinton "HATES" that president Obama beat her for the nomination in 2008. Leeds also wrote that the Clintons refer to the president as "that man."
