Or he is too damaged/baggaged to be in public service again due to UN fraud scandal?

Probably not on the "friends of Donald" list. (assuming he would want to come out of retirement- hardly likely).

Colin Powell Slammed Trump as 'National Disgrace,'

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell blasted Donald Trump as a "national disgrace" and criticized repeated investigations into the 2012 attack in Benghazi as a "witch hunt" in personal emails leaked online by hackers.

Powell, a retired 4-star general and a Republican, confirmed the authenticity of the emails to NBC News.

"The hackers have a lot more," he added.

The contents of the emails were first reported by Buzzfeed News. It said the messages had been obtained by the website DCLeaks.com, which a federal law official told NBC News is believed to have ties to Russian intelligence services.

Powell called Trump a "national disgrace" and "international pariah" in a June 17 email to a former aide, saying the Republican presidential contender was "in the process of destroying himself, no need for Dems to attack him."

Trump will be the oldest person elected to the presidency himself (beating Ronald Reagan). He is 70.
