8. I really hope the OP meant William Barr, not Bob Barr

William Barr was Attorney General during Poppy Bush's administration. Trump wants him to be his next Attorney General.

William Barr is John McCain-level evil. It takes a special breed of assholery to rise to Trump-level evil, and fortunately for all William Barr isn't that bad. He's still a worthless piece of shit.

Bob Barr was a Congressman from Georgia. He was elected on a single-issue platform (impeaching Bill Clinton for something) in the 1994 Contract On America red wave, and was voted out in the 2002 election.

Bob Barr is evil in ways Trump only wishes he could be. This makes him a perfect addition to the Trump inner circle, which is why I hope they don't ask him to be.
