Trump says WE all the time during his rallies, and OUR.
Powell just doesn't follow politics and is clueless.

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell on Sunday said he doesn't believe President Trump can be a moral leader, adding that it has become "me the president" for Trump, instead of "we the people."

"My favorite three words in our Constitution is the first three words - 'We the People.' 'We the People.' But recently it's become 'me the president,' as opposed to 'We the People.' And you see things that should not be happening," the former U.S. Army general said on CNN's "Fareed Zakaria GPS."

Powell pointed to Trump's attacks on the press, which the president has dubbed "the enemy of the people," as well as his tendency to insult his opponents and different groups of people.

"How can a president of the United States get up and say that the media is the enemy of Americans? Hasn't he read the First Amendment? You're not supposed to like everything the press says or what anyone says in the First Amendment," Powell said.
This is all certianly true, but damn, did Colin forget the 8 years of narcissistic Obama? Obama was certianly an "I" president also.

"Just two years ago, Powell told billionaire megadonor Jeffrey Leeds just how he feels about Hillary “I would rather not vote for her,” and Bill “still dicking bimbos at home."

What does that do with him voicing an opinion? Or did you not read it and think they want him to run for president.

They compromised which seems to be an obsolete word these days.

You mean those on the fence who seem to take some of the worst parts or ideas of the left and right and are basically twice as bad?
