Powell's emails also called the Benghazi hearings a "stupid witch hunt" and C. Rice who he sent the email to wrote back, "completely agree."

Powell was once a respected officer in the US military, he lost all of that credibility when he changed parties to vote, twice, for lying, corrupt obama. He went for color over substance.
Now he had reached the lever of just a pathetic old man. He lashes out at everyone and everything.

...and where does he get this firsthand knowledge of Trump? Have they worked together or been in communication where this is based on personal interaction, or is this just coming from a typical liberal point of view and someone who voted TWICE for Obama (a pathetic feat in its own right)?

It appears Powell had more to say about Bill and Hillary:

Colin Powell Mocks Clintons: Hillary

I am really surprised that Colin Powell was so unprofessional to have been talking trash about other individuals in his emails in the first place and that applies to all of his official contacts.

It is hard for grumpy old men to give up their ingrained racism. Nature is the only remedy.

I wasn't aware that Mr Powell has ingrained racism, but I will take your word for it, you would know better than I.
Mr Trump and myself thank you for your vote for Trump, you will be a happy man...

There are multiple players in this particular scene: Clinton, Trump, and Powell himself. Each has sufficient hubris to cancel out the other two.
Powell, who has been involved in some massive governmental screw-ups (WMDs anyone?), has no high moral ground on either Clinton or Trump.
